The Hold Steady appreciation thread v. Am I the only fan on DTF?

[lateralus88]

I've been listening to these guys for a good while now, and am a pretty moderate fan. Separation Sunday is easily one of my top 10 favourite albums and Heaven is Whenever is just an overall refreshing album.

For those who don't know anything about the group, they are an alternative rock group with a lot of classic rock influence thrown in and out of the music. I think, for me at least, the best part of the band is how lyrically clever Craig Finn is. The man is a born story teller.


So, anyone else know these guys?

Oh man remember when this thread got all those replies? Good times.


Your little hoodrat friend has been callin' me again
and I can't stand all the things that she sticks into her skin
like ball point pens and steel guitar strings
she says "It hurts but it's worth"
