Lick by The Lemonheads
Lick is an album by The Lemonheads, released in 1989. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 14 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Luka”, on 14 lists with a best position of #1267.
Lick, the Lemonheads' third album, came out on the indie label Taang! in 1989 (though a misprint on the record itself says 1988), and it closes a chapter. It was the last with co-founder Ben Deily, who had started the band with Evan Dando and Jesse Peretz, and the last before Atlantic came calling.
It's a scrappy, restless record, snapping between pop-punk thrash and folky melody, with Dando's warm voice already hinting at where the band was headed. "Luka" is the track the countdowns still turn up. Like the first two albums, it was reissued on CD in 1992 with two bonus tracks, and Lovey followed.
