Savage Garden - Savage Garden

Did you see the video?  The one where the lead singer was on the back of a ute singing the song?  It seemed so ridiculous.  But it was also quite compelling.  The first three singles from the album were called I Want You, Truly, Madly, Deeply and To the Moon and Back.  I challenge you to find a more cliched trio of song titles.  But, by god, they were so catchy.  I couldn’t help but fall for these songs.  I know it was fashionable to look down your nose at the band, but these songs took the band to unparalleled success.  They had a number one single in the US, their album sold 12 million copies worldwide. 

Now, I’ll admit that aside from these singles, the album isn’t great.  But, oh boy, those singles!  So good.
