Eels
 

Kind of surprised to not find a thread on the Eels already.

I've really only heard there first two album, Electro-Shock Blues and Beautiful Freak, Thought they were amazing. I've heard a few songs from there later albums and wasn't overwhelmed, so I haven't really went on from Electro-Shock.

You're thoughts?

I dig Electro-Shock Blues so much. Brilliant album showing his mental struggles

Poor "E' indeed

His latest release only got a cursory listen from me. Sounded kinda ordinary. Beautiful Freak is fantastic though.

Electro-Shock Blues is brilliant.

Love Blinking Lights & Other Revelations too.

electro shock blues and beautiful freak are both amazing. beautiful freak was one of the first albums to really get me into music. ive only started listening to electro shock blues recently but im impressed.

Daisies of the Galaxy stands out as my favorite eels album.

It's interesting how E can make the most non-mainstream songs and at the same time pump out pop hits that end up in kids movies. Great band with many excellent songs.

His earlier stuff was fantastic. Hombre Lobo, this year's release, was very boring and I haven't heard Blinking Lights. Beautiful Freak is my personal favorite. Wasn't one of their songs in Shrek or something like that?

Yep. My beloved monster.

"Blinking Lights and Revelations" was amazing, or at least the second disc is. The last track, I believe it's called "Things Your Grandchildren Should Know," is gorgeous and depressing.

Haha, I thought something was. They played a few of the songs in Charlie Bartlett, I think it was Fresh Feeling and Hey Man (Now You're Really Living) but I don't remember for sure. It's been a long time since I saw either of those movies. Great band, but I still have to listen to Blinking Lights and Other Revelations.

i agree about the latest album - not very extraordinary

i've been enjoying his non-eels stuff lately, including his two early releases as 'E' and his album released under the name MC Honkey. slightly different sound, lots of fun to listen to :)

I've never listened to much of their stuff but heard this song (That Look You Give That Guy - won't embed) on the radio and it took a couple of listens but I think it's just beautiful.

Found out about this band a few weeks ago when I did my "indie only" weekend and was recommended their 1998 album Electro-Shock Blues which I really enjoyed listening to.

don't miss Beautiful Freak. it's a tremendous album.

Really like Daisies Of The Galaxy,yet to get around to listening to the rest of his work.
