June 13, 201115 yr For me it's Andrew Bird. WTF @ all his lyrics, they're all beautiful and poetic and evocative and stuff but I try to make sense of them when I listen and it's just impossible. None of them are understandable to me. it makes me sad sometimes. But he's still awesome omg~~
June 13, 201115 yr well it was a free show, but the line was so long that I just stood outside the gated area (it was an outdoor show. I couldn't really see him that well since he was so far away, but he put on a great show. setlist... http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/andrew-bird/2011/prospect-park-brooklyn-ny-53d327f1.html 2nd time seeing him live :smug: on the topic of the thread, maybe Sigur Ros or Yes. I think they're great bands and I love their music, but sometimes there's so much going on it's hard to absorb it all.
June 13, 201115 yr Author I would kill so bad to see him live, the videos I've seen of him performing live suggest that he and his band are one of those awesome bands that always switches stuff up and does a great job and etc :sad: I'm just really sad I don't live in Famousland where everyone tours :sad:
June 13, 201115 yr Radiohead... no wait, I'm joking. But really, some electronic musicians where the vocals are all distorted or they lyrics don't make sense are really wonderful to listen to but I have no idea what is going on in the song. Animal Collective spring to mind, along with Panda Bear, but also Caribou, Owen Pallett, Crystal Castles etc. I'm usually aren't too worried about even finding lyrics for most though, I just enjoy the music, and if they don't add anything to the song apart from the actual sound, I don't think you are missing out on too much.
June 13, 201115 yr Animal Collective. I just don't hear anything interesting at all. Really cold, cold music to my ears.
June 13, 201115 yr Radiohead...& no, i'm not joking. i don't hate them or anything, i know a number of their songs. but the only Radiohead song i like & understand is Creep.
June 13, 201115 yr Radiohead, yeah they're OMG SO AWESOME, etc. But they just make me want to sleep :blank:

June 13, 201115 yr Author Nope. I strongly enforce a sigging limit of one quote per signature. Nothing doing.
June 14, 201115 yr i've been trying to get into Bob Dyaln. just isn't happening :S Try Blood on the Tracks... my favorite Dylan album
June 14, 201115 yr Try Blood on the Tracks... my favorite Dylan album ok i will try that. but Highway 61 Revisited left a lot to be desired. is it cos i never pay attention to lyrics when i listen to music?
June 14, 201115 yr I have similar feelings towards Owen Pallett. He and Bird aren't completely incomprehensible, but you definitely need to slowly go some of their songs with a dictionary to get the jist of it. ^I saw him live a few days ago. :awesome:
