Chris Collingwood and Adam Schlesinger are the Rodney Dangerfield of popular music. Their band, Fountains of Wayne, is often dismissed as a novelty act or a one-hit wonder when actually it is among the smartest, most talented pop outfits around.
Blame ‘Stacy’s Mom,’ the infectious hit single from the band’s 2003 album, Welcome Interstate Managers. That song, and its Rachel Hunter-starring video, struck gold more as a novelty than an example of fine songwriting craft. Never mind that it is an expertly crafted song, and that the album it comes from is chock full of tunes even better than that one.
