5.0 classic
Arcade Fire Funeral
Our older brother, bit by a vampire, for a year we caught his tears in a cup
Father John Misty I Love You, Honeybear
Modest Mouse The Moon & Antarctica
It takes a long time but god dies too, but not before he'll stick it to you
Neutral Milk Hotel In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
And one day we will die and our ashes will fly from the aeroplane over the sea. But for now we are young, let us lay in the sun and count every beautiful thing we can see.
Radiohead OK Computer
There's really nothing to say about OK Computer that hasn't already been said. It introduced the world (and me) to a completely new type of music, establishing Radiohead as the greatest band of the past two decades.
Radiohead Hail to the Thief
Just because you feel it, doesn't mean it's there.
The National Alligator
I must be me, I'm in my head, blackbirds are circling my bed. I must be me, I must be me, black feathers are falling on my feet.
The National Boxer
Out of my league I have birds in my sleeves and I wanna rush in with the fools.
The National High Violet
The Tallest Man on Earth The Wild Hunt
Evil's in my pocket and your strength is in my hand
Titus Andronicus The Monitor
You'll always be a loser, you'll always be a loser, you'll always be a loser, you'll always be a loser, you'll always be a loser, and that's ok.
