They are a great band I must say, I consider them to be highly influential but not the best band ever.
I think its weird that I like a lot of the same bands everyone else likes on here but I get real into some of them that no one else does. I guess it depends on your daily life
They actually have a boxset coming out sometime soon. Its got all the albums and some art work and a bunch of cool shit in it. Pricey though.
Yes, they're great... and there have definitely been times when I would have said that they were my favorite band. But they seem pretty boring as people (with the exception of Kim Deal). Have you seen 'LOUDquietLOUD'???
