Title: Wondermints Appreciation Thread
Post by: FatherOfTheMan Sr101 on January 09, 2012, 12:44:38 PM
Sure, they're a great backing band, but their own albums are incredible!

Here's What I Think...

Wondermints= 10/10
Wonderful World Of...= 8/10
Bali= 9/10
Mind if we Make Love To You?= 9/10

The Wondermints are not Brian's backup band. MEMBERS of The Wondermints are members of Brian's backup band.

If all that an appreciation thread for the Wondermints can offer is a rather simple, one-sided look at the music, I can see why others would reach that conclusion. Of course, I've LISTENED to the Wondermints and agree with Mr. cablegeddon. :)

Oh come on,  I don't think there has been music written that's THAT bad!

The Wondermints are alright, but if we're talking 90's powerpop there is only Jellyfish. The 'Mints are a tad bland in comparison, the songs aren't up to snuff.

Ah I was about to say I love me some Wondermints but then you go and mention Jellyfish!  The Mints don't hold up there, but then those 2 Jellyfish LPs are to my mind the best music of the 1990s.  Regardless though, they are great musicians who made a lot of cool good music and the Summer in Paradise/Kokomo put down is insipid.
