One of my favourites. Me, being Canadian, liked them since the beginning, while most Americans didn't catch on until the third or forth album.

Actually, I believe it was an appearance on Beverly Hills 90210 in 1996 or 1997, which began their stint with US popularity.

^Well, they weren't pop darlings down here until Stunt when "One Week" became obscenely overplayed, but a lot of Gordon tracks were making the rounds before that, and I first saw them in '97 on The Weird Al Show playing "Shoe Box".

I guess yourself and myself are the only ones with anything to say here, Sean.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Yes, even I didn't take the time yet to post my obligatory 'heard of them, but haven't heard them' post.

But at least two people bothered to reply here unlike the Rolling Stones topic last week.

Well, I rounded up some videos in case any of the unexperienced are interested (it's YouTube audio quality, but better than nothing):

As for the Stones, it was kinda like with the Beatles; what more can we say about 'em?
