lcd soundsystem, new pornographers and flaming lips are your list's second tier

i'm trying to shake radiohead as my favorite band not because i feel like they're an invalid favorite band like retti argues but mostly because i feel embarrassed to talk about them to people now

i was told they're like "OK this band rocks but they have really bad early albums" but i'm the type of guy who dives off the high board immediately after eating
also this list remidns me that i should listen to more beyonce since her first album was really really good
i will eventually i just explore music at my own leisure and the national's aesthetic of tired white boy grunting about a woman seems to already wear me out. and grizzly bear is probably fine too i just have a weird avoidance thing about both of them
that and front bottoms and some other britpop band that keeps getting recommended to me. *wipes sweat with radiohead towel* god i hate britpop

i agree unless you want to find a reason to like alt-j, in which case i'd recommend aaw first. i maintain that tiay is a pretty OK album and suffered internet backlash so most people gave it terrible reviews, but it's really a snazzy 6-7. it just has no single power since left hand free blows
