While Alternative music was becoming dark and dirty, The Barenaked Ladies built a career out of catchy songs that were deliberately quirky. In the process, the Canadian band delivered a surprising amount of hits for a band whose lyrics were often nonsensical. As they were radio friendly, they became a favorite of many and crossed age demographics effortlessly. Those who took the band too seriously often dismissed them as eccentric hacks, but this was a talented group who took seemingly unusable lyrics to the top.
