Well I have watched this discussion go on too long without putting my $.02 -
I freely admit that I like both TfF albums with 'Songs' being my favorite -
I, however, do not subscribe to the notion that it was any 'marketing machine'
that made them hugely sucessful - it was one of those rare instances where 
the 'top 40 music machine' picked-up some really quality music - I am
convinced that if 'Songs' had not been such a big top 40 hit it would have
been a big college hit.  Sure most of us got really sick of a couple of
the tracks on the disc due to overexposure on the radio - but I can go back
now and enjoy the entire album and feel secure that the music is not 'simple
-lowest-common-denominator-pop'.  Sit down and give it a spin - you might like
it.

There is also a good live video called 'In my Minds Eye'.

ps -anyone want to trade a copy of the kate 'rare-tracks' tape for a copy 
    of the kate promo-cd with the remix of 'Cloudbursting' - the sound is
    awe-inspiring.
