The Best Of

The Best Of The Lemonheads--mainly covering the time from 1992's It's A Shame About Ray to their last album Car Button Cloth--highlights both Dando's gifts and his insurmountably irritating flaws. Playing on his wide-eyed charms with deceptive determination, he looked like the kind of boy who could get it together to write songs but would probably find pedestrian crossings bewildering. It was an image that gave sometimes ordinary songs a veneer of otherworldliness and, more importantly, that moment-capturing magic.
