My 16 yr old daughter likes The Outfield. I am listening to Bangin' now. Not as good but to me better than most new music.

Saw your #5 pick, and was like "You must be from Canada".  Sass Jordan is the back up singer on that album, and she even appears in the 'Closer Together' video.  Of all the albums The Box had, 'Closer Together' was indeed their best.

Oh I did not know that.  :)

I saw some old Muchmusic promos and I decided to check some of their music out.  :)  And I am a Canadian born and raised.  :)
