I liked a lot, actually--best since Joshua tree. Vertigo is by far the worst song on the album though, so people get the wrong impression.

In the quick list I whipped up to draw from, Edan was the only "E" in the list. I could have moved Extraordinary Machine by Fiona Apple there, but I liked Edan better (although I've only listened to each two or three times). It's a good album.

EP - Fiery Furnaces.

How do you not like them?

[/ QUOTE ]

Meh. I liked Edan better than this too. And I liked Fatlip's album better for the F category too. I dunno, maybe giving EP and Blueberry Boat another few chances wouldn't hurt, they're pretty dense stuff.

Get to work on a list, I want to see yours.

Neutral Milk Hotel and the Arcade Fire are conspicuously absent.


how about doing this list again with some bands that people have actually heard of?

[/ QUOTE ]

Neither released an album this year, although NMH's In the Aeroplane Over the Sea was re-released I think.

Instead of getting into an indie vs. mainstream girlfight, why don't you (or someone else, whoever) submit a more mainstream A-Z list?

I've seen your hate for indie stuff so I know you're just f***in' around, but Neutral Milk Hotel hasn't released a new album in years.

Definitely. Oddly enough, blueberry boat is one of the few modern albums I really love and also liked the first time through. (ITAOTS, Kid A, OKC, Funeral, YHF, and many others I disliked/hated my first time)

Obviously, (though it will be tomorrow morning)


Finally, thoughts on this (not just to will):

Really dont like Slanted and Enchanted / CRCR, but I just picked up American Water and REALLY like it. Anyone else?

it's not hate, homeboy. I'm just jopking.


and why hasn't NMH released an album recently? is that the hip indie thing for bands to do? just rest on their laurels and wallow in obscurity?

Of course. If you release another album after the perfection that is ItAOtS, then the hip indie critics will have to do their hip indie backlash thing saying that your follow-up isn't as good as the last album. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

So, better to leave 'em wanting.

He has basically fallen off the earth.

A mental breakdown resulted in ITAOTS, their last album in 1998. He put out this really weird bulgarian music CD sometime later. Then, there was a while there where people couldnt even confirm that he was alive. He appeared with OTC earlier this year for a 1 show thing. But, then went back into hiding.
