bacon really needs to log on and do these polls. These conversations NEED the Bacon's Boring Band Barn thoughts.
Also not on this list, but I took my parents, aunt, and uncle to Ray LaMontagne in Charlotte a few years ago and there was a point where all 4 of them were asleep around me.
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.

I'm just not really into high school musicals written by theater kids who overheard their older siblings talking about PLUR after an epic trip to electric forest.
i am truly baffled that this is how you perceive sufjan. high school musical? have you uhh, internalized any of his lyrics, ever?

Thanks guys. I'm now on a tear of The National tunes, and I have listened to Slipped 3 times in a row and I just want to stop working so that I can cry, lament my life and drink wine. Music for the sads.
I'm having trouble inside my skin I try to keep my skeletons in I'll be a friend and a fuck-up And everything But I'll never be Anything you ever want me to be
I keep coming back here where everything slipped But I will not spill my guts out I keep coming back here where everything slipped But I will not spill my guts out
I don't need any help to be breakable, believe me I know nobody else who can laugh along to any kind of joke I won't need any help to be lonely when you leave me
It'll be easy to cover Gather my skeletons far inside It'll be summer in Dallas Before I realize
I don't want you to grieve But I want you to sympathize (alright) I can't blame you for losing Your mind for a little while (so did I) I don't want you to change But I want you to recognize
We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.

My vote is currently on The National but I could be persuaded if somebody can tell me a single Wilco song that goes harder than Mr November. No live recordings.

Literally couldn't argue here. The exception that proves the rest-of-the-sleepy rule.

Mr. November does go harder than any Wilco song (probably Bloodbuzz Ohio too) but those are the exception to the rule. Wilco's music overall is more upbeat than The National.
Wilco has my vote because a.) they're more entertaining than the national have ever been and b.) BJ Barham got the American Aquarium band name from a Wilco song and y'all know how much i love American Aquarium so that's another point on Wilco's board

I love The National, but "Wilco is sleepier than The National because when I saw The National, the encore woke me up" is not a compelling argument.
I think Sufjan will be one of the last I vote for. His sleepier stuff is the stuff I like most, so I really only associate him with sleepy.
ily but is it really kosher to disregard more than half of an artist's discography just bc you happen to like the more down tempo stuff better? the upbeat suf still exists!
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.

hasn't the encore recently been Vandalay industries or whatever, suuuuuuper sleepy maybe the worst closing song I've ever seen
at least Mumford does the a capella bit before the encore

I love both Wilco and The National with every fiber of my sad dad being, so it's a really tough choice. I ultimately voted The National this round because Wilco lost me so badly taking a hard left turn toward Sleepytown and putting the pedal to the metal starting with Sky Blue Sky.
Plus, while both Brian Devendorf and Glenn Kotche are outstanding, creative drummers, I feel like the former never, ever plays the expected thing even if the song around him is straightforward, which makes the National's stuff constantly compelling to listen to as someone who drums and writes for drums.

Funny you say that because before I was into them in 2018 they closed with an acapella version of Vanderlyle at Shaky Knees and I thought it was really moving. Better than anything I've ever seen Mumford do live actually.

"it was really moving" is just Orwellian "it was sleepy"

? I've never seen either band and I'm not really sure where you're getting that argument from

that was hyperbolic but for real, i think they a very overrated band and seeing them at ACL was honestly pretty painful, especially with them going 15 minutes past their set time just so Matt could crowdsurf
15 might be exaggerating but it was enough time for khalid to finish and for me to get all the way across the park and pretty deep into the crowd and they still kept playing for like, 3 more minutes.

Only show I ever fell asleep at was the Killers at roo '18. I'll attribute that to it being Sunday night, but they opened with Mr. Brightside and then all I had to look forward to was my nap
