who likes? i have had some songs for a while now and only just started listening. No children is a beast of a song

[Robert Crumb]

John Darnielle is better than 95% of today's lyricists. Sunset Tree was a nice album, much better than We Shall all Be Healed.

Not like, but love.


No children is a great song.

[Tangy zizzle]

They're quite entertaining live, very campfire-ish, but I can give/take listening to an album.

I've had Tallahassee for a while and I still haven't given it a really good listen. The guy reminds me so much of Colin Meloy's singing style.

Someone was telling me about this band yesterday i think...I wasnt listening properly though. What album should i check out?

[Little Man being Erased]

I heard the single off their new album and liked it.

This is very true. I cannot encourage people enough to download the song "Going to Georgia," on their ~1994 album Zopilote Machine, because it ranks up there as one of the best single songs ever written.

The Sunset Tree is a very awesome and terribly underrated album as well.

I enjoy Tallahassee very much. I think it's magnificent both lyrically and sonically.

I'm quite into the Mountain Goats, although I don't actually have any of their albums. I'll have to get some though, I like all the songs songs I've downlaoded so far.

I have Tallahassee, All Hail West Texas and The Sunset Tree. Every one of them is great. I can honestly say I'm yet to hear a song I don't like by them.
