I take it back rockin who is he where's he from oops forgot bout wikiped see ya happy new year everbody i like sayin everbody when i'm baked hey! anybody listenin
geez, what a lame crowd. were they even aware that they were at a concert? i saw them in NYC in may and the crowd, even all the way in the back, never stopped moving. it was one of the best shows i've ever been to
Craig Finn's lyrics are what separates this band from all the other wannbe rockers out there! Dylanesque genius... and I'm a massive Dylan fan, so thats not easy to say about anyone... and the addition of the keyboard player after the 1st album - masterstroke!
I loved these guys live but I kind of understand why people don't dig the half-spoken aspect. He didn't overdo it when I saw them live and his voice was less scratchy so that definitely helped. Either way it was one of the best shows I've ever seen and there's melody and groove and great lyrics in every song. That's what people dig. It's authentic

this band is retarded. It's just such a shame that opinions are so polarized. Damn, we need good music so bad that "arhythmic speak-singing" is captivating listeners. Remember when you could tell if music was good by if it sounded good and not who listened to it and how cool they think themselves?
I think your missing the point riiiicola (I'm guessing your name's from that commercial, well ain't that cute) you are one of the morons who forgets that music is SUBJECTIVE, "we need good music"? you need a brain. Whether or not you like the speak-singing maybe you should consider the WORDS while he's "speak-singing" and not just look for another catchy pop-hook, you ignorant bastard. You are now dismissed.
So it sounds like Custard Pie by Led Zeppelin... They're both great songs so who gives a fuck?

Separation sunday is the best album ever made. It makes me mad that all the good shows, especially the hold steady, are always 21+.

I'd call him more of like a post-punk Springsteen than Dylan. But, I agree with ben030103 that he's sort of his own beast.
