Crash Test Dummies – The Ghosts That Haunt Me

The Ghosts that Haunt Me is the debut album from Winnipeg's Crash Test Dummies, a band most distinguished by the deep voice of Brad Roberts.

The Ghosts that Haunt Me topped The Record album charts and peaked at #2 on the RPM album charts, was nominated for Best Album and earned the Crash Test Dummies the Group of the Year title at the 1992 Juno Awards, garnered 3.5 stars out of 5 from AllMusic, and spawned three Canadian hit singles: "Superman's Song" (#4), "The Ghosts that Haunt Me" (#24) and "Androgynous" (#73), a The Replacements' cover.

This album came out while we were living in Fort Frances; however, we didn't get a chance to see the Crash Test Dummies live during our two years living there, even though we considered Winnipeg our metropolis of choice.
