The Lemonheads

From their roots as a snotty Boston punk band in the mid-1980s to their status as media darlings in the early-'90s, the Lemonheads always revolved around frontman Evan Dando. With his movie-star looks and much-publicized love of drugs and booze, Dando courted attention and controversy while developing into a surprisingly good pop songwriter by the group's 1990 major-label debut, LOVEY. Dando truly hit his peak on the two following albums, IT'S A SHAME ABOUT RAY and COME ON FEEL THE LEMONHEADS, but, unfortunately, so did his drug habit, leading to a substance-soaked bender that began in 1996 and lasted a number of years.
