I listen to this band pretty much religiously, so I have a hard time picking a favorite, so ill name my top three, anybody else share my tastes?

A lack of color
Transatlanticism
Summer Skin

I listen to alot of music, and I have yet to find a song that matches Transatlanticism for sheer epic-ness (is that a word?) the way it starts out slow and builds to the chorus, pure genius.

City of Caterpillar - A Little Change Could Go A Long Way
Slint - Spiderland
Indian Summer - Angry Son

That should get you started. You have much to learn.

Had all their albums at one point... tried really hard to get into them, as I love The Postal Service, but I could not. I just find that the music is not very creative and the lyrics are not nearly as good as Ben Gibbard's work on the PS. After about a year I deleted all the albums... That is my opinion anyway.

Yeah, that song is rather far from being epic.

Ben Gibbard's cover of Avril (<3) Lavigne's complicated.

Crooked Teeth is the best song.
