I mean her singing sounds very strange but she hits the notes pretty well in my opinion and it still sounds very melodic.

I use to dislike her singing alot and sometimes love it in parts. Now I find it hypnotic as hell and can listen to Ys over and over.

Naturally , I hate 2 female singers so obviously I must hate all of them.
Just like I obviously hate all hip hop because I don`t like 50 Cent or Eminem and I probably hate all guitar music because I hate Muse & Coldplay.

Townes Van Zandt - Live at the Old Quarter

This double CD live album is generally considered to be his best work as it features great performance of most of his best compositions up to that point. Contains great songs like "Pancho & Lefty" and "White Freight Liner Blues."

Ziggy Stardust - David Bowie (It's not that I don't like Ziggy Stardust, I do, considering it's one of the 3 songs I know how to play on a guitar. I think of it as more good glam rock than anything else. I find Low much more innovative and unique, mainly because this was the first album that Brian Eno's worked with Bowie. Low had more musical substance than Ziggy Stardust ever had.
Grace - Jeff Buckley (I don't really listen to him, so i'm not going to judge)
Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd (I find Animals and The Wall better than Dark Side of the Moon. I initially liked the slowness of it, but I often find myself getting a bit bored by the end of Dark Side of the Moon. Animals is just a classic and the lyrics and guitar in The Wall just is superior than those in Dark Side of the Moon)

Rain Dogs - Tom Waits
Murder Ballads - Nick Cave
Little Creatures - Talking Heads

You're missing my point. But oh well.

Why is it better to clearly sound like your influences than it is to start moving away from them? I prefer Crooked Rain myself because of the playful experimentation involved and although CR, CR has their most sucessful song ("Cut Your Hair") Slanted and Enchanted is the disc always touted by critics and mentioned when indie rock is the subject or a top albums list is being created. And I think since their commercial success was so limited, we might easily consider S & E their most successful album because of the mountains of acclaim it has recieved.

Why do some music fans talk about commercial success as if its VD?

Usually high commercial success signifies that the album has lost a certain uniqueness or individuality, preferring a catchier, more musically that the band had. I actually only mentioned that albums commercial success, because he had the overwhelming tendency to pick the albums that were the most famous, instead of the album that was more musically more complex and innovative.

I never referred to it as VD either, I have no qualms with the majority of commercial music, in fact 2 of my most played songs on lastfm account are from Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain. I just don't think that it is their most intovative or musically superior album, like most commercial albums.


by the way, you might it enjoy reading the main article in Magnet this month, it's on Chan Marshall, I assume from your sn that you like her.
