People talk about 3 beers being "the perfect number of beers" but I would suggest 3 LPs is the perfect amount for a Fountains of Wayne sesh.

I can’t think of one other example except maayybbee Elvis Costello, and that’s just a personal favorite, I wouldn’t argue for it being a lock for #1

Polvo did the same thing. Vibracobra (album version ) is one of the all-time album-opening songs. While I loved their later work, it is, for me, the definitive Polvo track.

We had more than 3 beers and attempted to rank every Fountains of Wayne song until my wife started trying to race me
