The band developed a following in Canada in the early 1990s with their cassette Barenaked Ladies (1991) and their debut album Gordon (1992). The band's popularity eventually spread to the United States following the release of versions of "Brian Wilson" and "The Old Apartment" from their 1996 live album, Rock Spectacle. In 1998, Barenaked Ladies released their fourth studio album, Stunt, which contains their highest-charting hit, "One Week", along with "It's All Been Done" and "Call and Answer".[2] Their fifth album, Maroon (and lead single "Pinch Me"), also charted well.
