A.V. Club: Best of the Decade

Artist Fountains Of Wayne

Fountains Of Wayne made their name on beaming, guitar-and-harmony-saturated power-pop tunes (“Radiation Vibe,” “Stacy’s Mom”) blessed with meaty choruses and cheeky humor in an era when rock radio often needed to lighten the hell up. Band members Adam Schlesinger and Chris Collingwood have been together for a long time, and they've worked hard to hone their talent for crafting super-shiny pop songs. Live, they carry themselves like workaday songwriter guys from a throwback era.
