Some of y'all may remember MTV's Alternative Nation or 120 Minutes, awesome programs & incredible ways to discover #music back in the 80s & 90s...

The Golden Rule: Music taste is subjective so don't be a gatekeeping asshole. There's no "bad music", only music you like or don't like.

We Are A Community: So no racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or spam.

I tried to listen to the whole album, but kept going back to this song... to this day that's the only song I know of them. It's really beautiful.

The album 'pride' is originally what got me into him. It's really good and has a weirdness to it I love. But I agree - song for zula is one of the greatest. The rest of this album didn't do it for me either.

However, seeing them live is fucking fantastic. You don't need to like their songs to have a good fucking time. Their passion is contagious.

You’re allowed to say: “one hit wonder”.

I think the whole forced hipster faux-Americana country folk indie fad did about as well as could be expected.

No one can name a song by Edward Sharpe and the magnetic zeros other than Home either.
