Which would you recommend to listen to after [I]Bee Thousand[/I][?

EDIT: 8000 posts oh shi

[QUOTE]I've only heard Bee Thousand & Half Smiles Of The Decomposed. Bee Thousand was my favourite by far. Any recommendations for other GBV albums worth getting? [/QUOTE]

Alien Lanes is usually a safe bet. I'm fond of Propeller

My favorite GBV EP is Sunfish Holy Breakfast of the ones I've heard

If you want to stay the lo-fi path then Vampire on Titus, if not Alien Lanes.

Interstate 02-17-2008 03:14 PM

Thanks guys. I keep reading reviews of Alien Lanes being good so I think I'll get that one next.

Motor Away is a v. good song but its the only one from Alien Lanes that I've heard.

on Bee Thousand, i've discovered that most of the songs arent as bad as I first thought, but there are still a few really stupid ones. and it seems so EASY for Pollard and friends to whip up a song, why cant they just make more good ones?

Anxious 02-17-2008 03:31 PM

Part of the appeal is that there are bits of home made genius just popping up out of nowhere like you're listening to the bleeding of sound out of some ageing rocker's band practice in his garage.

pixiesfanyo 02-17-2008 03:39 PM

i thought part of the appeal was that they wrote good songs.

Anxious 02-17-2008 03:41 PM

I disregarded the fact that YDload thought there were bad songs on that album because there aren't.

Finally got my hard drive back on Wednesday so I can actually listen to music on my computer again.

pixiesfanyo 02-17-2008 03:48 PM

the one that sounds like Steve Miller meets the Who is pretty bad.

YDload 02-17-2008 03:52 PM

[QUOTE=pixiesfanyo;15995285]the one that sounds like Steve Miller meets the Who is pretty bad.[/QUOTE]

Kicker of Elves? cause i agree

imo the best song is Smothered in Hugs, followed closely by Robot Boy. i dont really think I Am A Scientist is all that great, even though a lot of ppl do (probably). i think its better when the lyrics arent even close to being about something.

Time 02-17-2008 03:55 PM

I think either Gold Star for Robot Boy or Echos Myron is my favorite. I can never really get tired of the album.

Anxious 02-17-2008 04:02 PM

I love Smothered in Hugs. My favorite GBV song is probably Queen of Seconded Guessing off of [I]Get Out My Stations[/I].

pixiesfanyo 02-17-2008 04:12 PM

Kicker of Elves rules. its the one that has that weird airplane effect on his voice in the beginning.

Anxious 02-17-2008 04:14 PM

Here's the best GBV song since you;ll never find get out my stations unless you search slsk for 10 hours.

Serj Tankian - [I]Elect The Dead[/I] - Was a bit disappointed by this.
Phil Collins - [I]But Seriously[/I] - Phil Collins gets way too much criticism.
