In 1991, Spin picked Teenage Fanclub's Bandwagonesque as Album of the Year -- over Nirvana's Nevermind. Oops. The mag is still trying to live that down.

Meanwhile, this Glasgow power-pop quartet is still trying to live up to the shining, briefly glimpsed promise of those heady days. Well, they haven't managed to top Bandwagonesque yet, but they have put out their share of superb tracks over the years -- many of which are gathered on the overtitled Four Thousand Seven Hundred and Sixty-Six Seconds: A Short Cut to Teenage Fanclub.

These 21 slices of pure pop showcase the lads' long-standing obsession with the three B's -- Big Star, The Byrds and Brian Wilson -- and their ability to combine these influences into power-pop treats like The Concept, Hang On and About You.

Amid all the bittersweet teen angst, jangly 12-string guitars and lush production, it's easy to see how the Spin-sters got seduced. And to end up that way yourself.
