The Decemberists

Really great band. Anyone else like them? My favorite song is Clementine.

If there's a person in this forum that actually dislikes the Decemberists, I'd like to know.

Because I'm pretty sure there isn't

I don't think I could ever dislike them, they are too good.

Decemberists are cool. I really liked their first two albums. Picaresque was a bit weak, in my opinion. And "The Sporting Life" is annoying. But Colin Meloy is cool. I met him once.

I've only heard like 4 or so songs by the guys but they're good. If I see one of their albums in the shop sometime I'll buy it.

Ah, finally some haters.

I personally am a fan, but it's good to know they exist.

I'm not always in the mood for them, but when I am it usually lasts a while. "The Bachelor and the Bride", "Odalisque" and "We Both Go Down Together" are my favorite Decemberists songs.
