The most excellent historical/literary indie rock/pop band that ever hit the
airwaves. Led by frontman
Colin Meloy, they constantly deliver songs that take us to worlds long gone to the sound of witty lyrics and perhaps a bit of
polka or metal to back it up.
Example:
Ignorant Non-Creative Guy: What're you listening to?
Me: The
Tain, by The Decemberists
Ignorant Non-Creative Guy:
What the hell's that? All I know is that no one around me listens to it, so I shouldn't either. Everyone knows that musical taste isn't what you think sounds good, it's what other people tell me SHOULD sound good.
Me: **slaps forehead** Well then I'm telling you that
it sound good and you should listen to it. In fact you WILL listen to it, or I WILL shove your #$@!ing damned Green Day®™© CD up your little ultra-conformist ass.
