yeah i know.. but still one of the best bands in the thread so far!

Agreed, but I think they're one of the best bands around at the moment, so it's not that surprising :smile:

They are great.. but so far removed from what i ususally listen too that i cant place them on the same scale!
I dont like Strawberry Jam as much as Sung Tongs, Feels or even Spirit.. but it also depends entirely on my mood.

And I will stres Evangelicals. If you like Animal Collective, you will most definitely like them too.

Anyone heard the new AC songs they're playing live? There are a bunch of them, all ****ing brilliant. The next album's going to be a masterpeice

What does success and being well known have to do with how good a band is?

In conventional terms, success means a band is good as many people like them, hence being well known.

I gain no enjoyment from the Libertines, however.

Technically, success does not always mean a band is brilliant, as you are trying to suggest. I dislike the Libs, so they can't be 'all that good'; meanwhile, groups like The Shaggs are totally atonal and aren't ''good'' in the conventional sense, yet I still gain enjoyment there.

"Good", is subjective. So, while you might think the Libertines are good, I may not.

I bloody love Ozric Tentacles!

Blood Money, the Tom Waits album is one of the best records I've ever heard too :biggrin:

If you like that kinda stuff, check out Circulus, they're fantastic - completely mad but a wonderful band.
