10,000 MANIACS

摘要

10,000 Maniacs' fourth album, from 1987, is regarded as their breakout. It established them as the doyens of the folk-rock/indie pack, lovingly referred to as "coffeehouse rock'. If ever a band was designed to please MacBook-owning Starbuck's habitues, this is it: earnest, intelligent and socially-conscious. It didn't hurt having a great songwriter and star-in-the-making frontperson, Natalie Merchant.
