Try with headphones and kinda loud. That's when it clicked for me, maybe because you can hear more of the subtleties of his music. I was walking around Seattle listening to For Emma, because some good Ag on AY recd it last year, and that's when I became a big fan. Give it a try.

I remembering listening to Skinny Love over and over and loving it. Every once in awhile I'd try to listen to the rest of the album and I just couldn't get into it at the time. Then one day, for some reason, I listened to Emma from beginning to end and was like whoa. I've been hooked ever since.

Maybe I'll try it on a weekend.

Skinny Love is the only song that doesn't make me want to drill my ears out with an auger.

Hugh, thanks for the recco on The Weeknd. The cover of DD and the first link you had there rocked my b@lls off. Just downloaded all 3 mixtapes.

Mrs. HA said it best...when you hear the Bon Iver stuff, you have to picture an indie movie where some guy is out walking after finding out his girlfriend is dying from cancer and/or has decided to move out of their loft to go live with another chick. Pick a song, and that's playing as the background music as he's strolling around looking for a place to jump into the water.

I havne't seen Megafaun listed yet. These guys are the remnants of Deyarmond Edison, which was Justin Vernon's first big band (Vernon is the singer of Bon Iver. All of his groups sound like they should be someone's name, for some reason). If you want to go back to see where Indie first got going, go listen to the ST Deyarmond Edison album from 2004 or so I think, specifically My Whole Life Long.

The falsetto is hard to get into.

Here is mine:

Zeppin - Stairway, it don't get better
Pink Floyd - Listen to Division Bell album hidden gem (Lost for Words)
Hendrex - Voodoo Child, maybe the best playing of all time, All along the watch tower
Ten Years After - I'd love the change the world
Ambrosia - Holding on to yesterday
Clapton - two Albums, August and Journeyman
Byrds - It won't be wrong, It will feel a whole lot better, etc.
Roy Orbison, Get the Black and White Night DVD, no one has a better voice
Tom Petty - any of it

I guess I've reached that age where I'm too old to get into NEW music. I just keep with the timeless classics.

The Who - like "most" by them although they did some songs that truly sucked..."Daddy's Got A Squeezebox" being one of them

Led Zeppelin - almost anything by them but "In The Evening" is probably my favorite Zeppelin tune.

Pink Floyd - again, almost anything by them. Legends.

Cheap Trick - Nothing they did was better than "Surrender"

The Cult - Had about 6 or 7 kickass songs...but they were truly kickass!

New Order - not classic rock but they were and always will be kickass to me.

Depeche Mode - (see New Order)

Go to this link and download that free mp3. Then download the entire album. It's not new, but I doubt you've heard it before. If so, cheers to you.
