IIRC, Cracker got a fair amount of mainstream exposure in the early 90s. Granted, they've fallen off of the mainstream radar, but for a time they were well thought of.

"who is number 1
you are number 6
i am not a number i am a free man
haha sorry its one of my favret tv shows ever

I have been listening to the band like crazy these days! I can't actually say I have heard Cracker. Should I?

By the way, thanks for the nice comment.

"I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, de-briefed, or numbered!"

I'm not disputing that Cracker is a good (great? perhaps) band, only that I don't think they could qualify as being really all that underrated.

I always thought that, outside of "How Soon is Now," The Smiths never quite got the recognition they deserved, though they do enjoy quite a nice cult status. And, for putting out the best album of the past half decaded, the Magnetic Fields are virtually unknown.

Just quibbling.

Camper Van Beethoven is better.....though I do love Cracker and agree that they are underrated.


I'm on episode 11 now.....the social conversion one; it reminds me of Clockwork Orange.
