They’re alright, though mostly I just like the original demo tape and the album Gordon. They kind of tried to get all serious and mainstream after that, and it felt, I don’t know, untrustworthy to me somehow. But “If I Had A Million Dollars” is a wonderful song. I think I may teach it to my Media English class sometime. Maybe we’ll do a romance film, and then look at this song as a kind of response to the notion of “romance” as packaged in popsongs and Hollywood film.
McLachlan’s alright, as well; she has her heart in the right place and good politics, but I’m just not into her music specifically. shrug
I love Barenaked Ladies. :)
