I will have to check out the Prefab Sprout album. They are a band whose
first album turned me off so much (SWOON) that I couldn't ever muster up any
willingness to give them a second go. Though "Faron Young" was a good
single.
Does anyone else have this happen -- a first impression so bad that you have
a hard time ever getting back to the artist's music -- Yo La Tengo and Nick
Cave are two other artists who immediately come to mind for me...
