Tell me, do you like Neutral Milk Hotel?

...Their early tapes were a little experimental for my taste, but when Avery Island came out in ‘96, I think they really came into their own, both commercially and artistically. The whole album has a fuzzy, trumpety sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalsim that really gives the songs a big boost. He’s been compared to Four Volts, but I think that Jeff has far more crazed, over-the-top vocals.

In ‘98 Jeff released this, In The Aeroplane Over The Sea, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is “Holland, 1945”, a song so catchy, most people probably don’t listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it’s not just about Jeff Mangum’s obsessions with Anne Frank, it’s also a personal statement about abuse and incest brought about by his dad!

Hey Paul!

If this is the first murder, then what would we substitute for Whitney Houston and Genesis?

I'd say Alanis Morrissette and Coldplay, respectively, would be pretty good substitutes. 

Sredni Vashtar

Hmm... you might need a band with a larger discography than Coldplay to properly drive home the joke—The Mars Volta, perhaps?—but Morissette could work.

Section42L

Actually, I'm thinking either U2 or R.E.M. could also work as Genesis substitutes.

I like Neutral Milk Hotel.

but I don't roguelike them

Sredni Vashtar

So do I, although I am one of the few people that actually prefers On Avery Island (or at least considers the two apples and oranges).

But do you roguelike them?

Sredni Vashtar

Maybe. I'm not familiar enough with RPGs to know where that joke is going, so I could not say...

Centie I am beginning to think you have something against bands that are different every time.
