Actually no, bright eyes isn't one person. Mike Mogis is the other "full-time" member. Fevers and mirrors is good but Lifted is the best.

Yeah, cause Conor plays all the instruments on the album right? Anyway, Bright Eyes is probaly my favorite ever, too many songs I like best to list, Letting Off Happiness is my favorite album.

Was that sarcasm? Oberst has a band (not sure how many people, but I know there's at least on other person in Bright Eyes) that he never acknowledges.

Hey/they suck[s], anyway.

Yes I was being sarcastic, I don't see the problem with referring to bright eyes as him or them. But, referring to bright eyes as him is nicer seeing as his band gets 0 credit.

Yes, but there's more than one person almost all the time.
So "them" works.
It's wrong, but it works.

Avril Lavigne has a band, but we don't refer to her as 'them' now do we?

^theres a difference. Bright Eyes didn't debut as the name of their frontman, Avril Lavigne and her band did that.

Anyway.. I don't have all that much by Briight Eyes on my computer but what I do have I'm not all that impressed by. I will give Conor Oberst credit though, he did manage to capture a lot of fans with music that, to me, doesn't sound like much more than a guy who decided to pick up a guitar one random day and struck gold with a record company.

Bright Eyes is the stage name of Conor Oberst.
It is a single person, with a backing band.

He didn't have to strike gold.
It is his record company.
