5. The Spin Doctors
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsdy_rct6uo The early nineties was a great time if you were a Spin Doctors fan, their music was inescapable. If you turned on the radio, they owned the airwaves. Any movie worth its weight in salt (talking about you, Son-In-Law) featured Little Miss Can't Be Wrong or the timeless classic Two Princes. If you weren't a fan, the early nineties were Hell on Earth. The world finally caught on because the Spin Doctors never quite reached the same level of success in the later nineties. Turn It Upside Down, their second album, failed to turn the world upside down like their debut did and they were no longer that wacky jam band that everybody loved. Then, during a tour to promote their third album, Here Comes The Bride, singer Chris Barron was stricken with a rare vocal chord paralysis. Without his ability to scat during the breakdown to countless Spin Doctors songs, Barron was a just a bearded guy in a beanie. For the band that just wasn't enough and the Doctors closed practice in 1999. While no one can truly remember if the world mourned their loss or not, it wouldn't matter two years later when the Spin Doctor's reformed in 2001 with a fully recovered Chris Barron. Fast forward to 2013, when they released If The River Was Whisky, their sixth album. Good news for some and for others it was a collective realisation that apparently there had been two other Spin Doctors albums in between that nobody cared about either.
