you know... I hate their new albums but now that I've dug up all my old CDs of theirs and finally bought Lincoln, they rock but sometimes I think they're either brilliant or stupid.

a cross between my dad + steve buscemi = john linnell.

my sister saw them on playhouse disney yesterday, playing one of their songs off of here comes the 123's, and she said it was pretty bad compared to here comes the abc's.

i just saw them in october, it was the happiest gig i've ever been to.

I saw them live with Fountains of Wayne. They were really good.

my thoughts are that they make TOO MUCH MUSIC

X:If you could be a superhero, which one would you be?
TB: Jesus...
X: Jesus wasn't a superhero.
TB: He wasn't?
X: No.
TB: Ok then....uh....Teen Wolf
X: nevermind

Flood is superb. I love just about every second of it.

I tried to be completist with them but it would have set me back like $500.

also, Ana Ng is a good track to get into them with

TB: Jesus...
X: Jesus wasn't a superhero.
TB: He wasn't?

I've liked them since I was 7 actually.

now you have that 'birdhouse in your soul' song in my head.

Which is a good thing. Could've been that MITM song.

Ana Ng is a super song, but I don't have Lincoln and it makes me sad that whenever I go into the music store they don't have it either.

Sad sad sad.

But TMBG is super, as far as I'm concerned, old and new.

This is my signature.

I really enjoyed NO! but I haven't picked up anything of theirs since. Mop is a HILARIOUS song

i'm pretty sure they're brilliant.
the fact that they can vary from songs like like put your head inside the puppet head (which actually rocks) to a song like the bells are ringing or new york city (even though it wasn't their original song) just reassures that they're awesome.

i don't know .. i've been listening to them since like age 5
also just saw them two months ago and it was a great gig

They were one of my favorite bands in college. Now I hear they're doing kiddie music. Any reccomendations for a kiddie CD by them?

I still remember my college roomate and good friend singing "There's a crane! There's a crane!" in the back seat of my car.

Another band who I think could easily move in the the lucrative children's market is Kraftwerk. "fun fun fun on the autobahn"

Emaline, NO! is a good place to start imo if you want the kids to listen. Also, Flood translates really well across the ages (expect maybe racist friend)

X: Jesus wasn't a superhero.
TB: He wasn't?

The first TMBG album I heard was Apollo 18, but I'm not sure that's good for kids.

Actually I'd let kids listen to it anyway.

Thanks for the tips. I found that my hubby put Ana Ng on one of his mix CD's (that he puts in his car to listen during his commute because I normally don't like "that crap you listen to") and it made my heart sing.

We are meant to be together! Thank you TMBG!

I don't see why they couldn't listen to any Giants album, there's a lot of music that's not 'kids music' that people I know or relatives play to their kids that has a lot of the same qualities without being as crap as most of the music designed for kids. (mostly punk, hip hop or pop-y stuff. eg. Ramones, Pavement, De La Soul, Beastie Boys, etc)
