Title: Yo La Tengo Post by: Bob's Orange on Friday, May 22, 2009, 09:19:40 A mate was talking about this band the other day - I have never heard of them but they have 15 albums.
Any cop? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yo_La_Tengo Title: Re: Yo La Tengo Post by: suttonred on Friday, May 22, 2009, 10:35:57 An aquired taste is probably the honest answer, i like a lot of their stuff, but find some of it a little amateurish and very basic, but def worth a listen.
Title: Re: Yo La Tengo Post by: Arch Stanton on Friday, May 22, 2009, 12:00:08 I've got quite a few of their albums, there's a real mish mash of material. I suppose out of all their albums 'I can hear the heart beating as one' is their best.
Their 'best of' album called 'Prisoners of Love' is a great collection and nearly all the tracks are very good, so I'd advise anyone perhaps looking to get into YLT to get that. The only tracks I feel should've been included and werent was the excellent 'Everyday' taken from 'And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out' and perhaps 'Evanescent Psychic Pez Drop' from 'Genius + Love'. On the whole they're pretty good most of the time, its just when they're not, they're really really bad... (And they once did the closing theme music on an episode of The Simpsons) Title: Re: Yo La Tengo Post by: adje on Friday, May 22, 2009, 12:15:51 One of their tracks is called "Lets save Tony 0rlando's house"-bit weird
