December 5, 2011 No Comments

On with the highlights of the year. And this time finally some pop songs (even though I will get back to folk and country sooner or later). Let’s start with the big boys and power pop wizards who have written awesome pop music for years.

Fountains Of Wayne – Sky Full Of Holes

Fountains Of Wayne is regarded as one of the best pop bands in the world here at the onechord.net headquarters. However, I was mildly disappointed with the previous album Traffic and Weather. It was a hit and miss album. There were some absolute FOW classics like Fire In The Canyon, but also some songs I did not like at all. Therefore I had some doubts when I bought the new album last week when it was released, but oh my. There’s not a thing to worry about. Sky Full Of Holes is a really solid pop album from start to finish and Schlesinger/Collingwood have once again written a bunch of fantastic pop songs.
