James Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 ....and this one from America. It was from an album they did in 2007, not so many people are familiar with it as it was 30 years past their heyday, but this song is in the running for best song America ever did. Jangly guitars, genius melody, just a perfect song written by Mr. Adam: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angloberry Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 What a tragic loss. Such a talented man. He was such a massive part of Fountains of Wayne even though Chris was the lead singer. Eric said a while back on here about FOW that they made “smart music for smart people”. So many of their songs could and should have been massive hits (we’ve all heard that one before haven’t we?). Will be listening to FOW tonight. RIP Adam. You were truly an outstanding talent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raspbernie Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 There must have been complications, as everything I read says those that succumb to the virus had other issues that contributed to their death. He was so talented! What an incredibly sad way to go. Downright unfair to be a footnote in this despicable pandemic! RIP, Adam!
