I am and have been for a long time a big fan of They Might Be Giants. They were so important for the idea of indie music. They were the first unsigned artist to be played on MTV back in the eighties, and while their output has been subpar as the band aged and went on to soundtrack and kids releases, the first four albums that chronicle's their move from lower east side art rockers to odd pop songsmiths are absolutely great.

A lot of people on the net are with me, but none of my personal "real life" friends agree with me.
