Bring Me Your Loves
Good choice! Digital Witness is the song that turned me onto St Vincent and remains my favorite to this day. Yet another reason that makes me think her latest is her best
Yeah, for me it was her performance of Bring Me Your Loves on Letterman. That's what hooked me and made me a fan. And that's why it's still my favorite.

I've enjoyed the couple of songs they did with Annie Clark. I just can't get into that's guy's voice or his delivery. *shrugs*

I'm with you Durds. His voice is a major turnoff for me; I feel sort of gypped of one of the great bands of the aughts.
I just listened to them for the first time. I guess I can see the appeal, but they do nothing for me personally.

The National has made some great music. I like his voice a lot.

I was going to say the same thing. But the National are so good that you could claim that almost any of their albums is their best. :heartbeat:

And I don't hate The National. I appreciate some of the stuff I've heard. They aren't a bad band or anything. Just can't get into the vocals. So I never think about listening to them.

I like Boxer. They didn't really do a lot for me until I watched the documentary Mistaken for Strangers, which was a good showcase for their music aside from being a touching story in its own right.
