A great band at their peak, when their sound was still so raw and unfiltered.

Just like Funeral, there are a range of emotions that come through and are so powerful.

Every song so different from the next, with all four band members taking turns on lead vocals. A great album.

Heavy on alternative and indie bands of the last 2 decades, but having said that, it is a very good list if one limits oneself as you have. Wintersleep really is a great band and underrated outside Canada... I will have to go and listen to them again now and maybe re-assess where I have them in my charts...

Never heard of Ween, but great list. Funeral is a true masterpiece

You lean very heavily on the last two decades, obviously, but you choose some really good music. So I better check out this band Ween then. If the rest of your taste in music is any indication, they are likely quite good.
