one of these days I'll make a compilation called "great songs by bands I don't like", and this one will be on it.
They have one other excellent tune, Did You See The World, which puts them one up on the Smiths.
Although I can listen to the Smiths if pressed...outside the two noted tunes, Animal Collective gives me a headache.
/edit
synchronicity strikes- searching for the 'other' good Animal Collective song also turned up this tune by Califone, a group I find eminently listenable. They're always described as 'experimental', but seem as accessible as most indie rock to me.
Shawn is crazy for that My Girls tune!
ReplyDeleteYou are losing count in your old age the Smiths have TWO great songs - oscillate wildly and how soon is now.
ReplyDeleteif Morrisey doesn't sing, it's more of a Johnny Marr song than a Smiths song. =P
ReplyDeletethe smith's "cemetary gates" is one of the greatest songs ever. baxie, as a fan of the collective, i have to say my girls is probably their best song. they seem to keep getting closer to a form of experimental pop that is more poppier. and, i doubt it will happen, but if they ever play slo you need to go see them.
ReplyDeleteAC is one of those groups I'd like to like, but they just won't let me.
ReplyDeleteI've come to the conclusion my musical tastes are depressingly mainstream. If popular music didn't suck so much ass, I'd be a top 40 junkie.
