Phantom Planet — Raise The Dead

Phantom Planet will unfortunately always be known for two things. The first is that annoying (yet strangely catchy) song of theirs which became the theme to that even more annoying train wreck of a show about pampered, rich white kids from coastal California.

Which is not to say that this, their debut album, has no musical merit...
