I agree with many of the choices (PB&J, Phoenix), but still can’t get behind Animal Collective. I know a lot of people enjoy them, but they just don’t “do it” for me.
st. vincent should be on this list.
I really loved It’s Blitz! and Merriweather Post Pavilion. Which surprised me alot because i could only handle a few of the previous Animal Collective songs i had heard. Also, Fever Ray’s self titled should be added to the list.
