Pocket Full of Kryptonite - Spin Doctors (CD 1991)

If your friends could make you popular, Spin Doctors should have been one of the most sought after bands anywhere. Hailing from New York, the Spin Doctors toured for quite some time before they became even mildly popular with their 1991 major label debut Pocket Full of Kryptonite.

The most popular songs are Two Princes and Little Miss.

Why is it that music that rose to popularity during our formative high school years always has some sort of magical hold over us?

In many ways, I'm glad my time in high...

But Pocket Full of Kryptonite is an excellent first CD for any group, similar though the tunes are. There are some tracks here..

I was going to do this review anyway, but when I read the other review on this record, I knew I had to present an alternate viewpoint. This album has much more than the hits you may already know. This record does not sound like any of the Seattle bands, musically or lyrically. A bit of history is always good to start a review. Come with me now to the thrilling days of yesteryear, when the letter e was not put before so many words (e-business, etc)and the alternative scene was in its infancy. I first heard this album in early 1992. I was living in Oregon and had a freebie coming from my local..
