No spoken words said:I heard the Hold Steady at Lollapalooza, after being forced to listen to one of their records a few days before. Least inspiring live performance I'd seen in ages.

Sorry, I know this is a Decemberists thread, but I have to take issue with this. Saw The Hold Steady twice last year and they awed me both times (and being the crabby old guy that I am, I'm not easily awed). They ROCK!!! And seeing them live is a lot of fun. I think Craig Finn is a superb frontman and I don't believe there's a band that does the classic rock thing better these days. Please give them another chance.

Yes, they are the best band in the world by a disgusting margin.

The Decemberists? I like some of their stuff, but that's about it. Can take it or leave it. Did enjoy The Crane Wife, though.

Just heard THS is already in the mixing stage for their next album.

I'll give it another chance. Comparing the two bands is apples to oranges, though, or so I think.
But, sure, I'll check them out one more time....would not be the first time I ended up liking a band I at first was not impressed with.
I'm a crabby old man too, but, that's probably obvious from the tone of my posts.
There aren't enough weird attempts at prog these days, and far too much indie pop.
Quick, Scumby. Name your favorite Decemberists record.
