Conor Oberst solo vs Desaparecidos vs Bright Eyes Vs Commander Venus

desaparecidos hands down

read music speak spanish is the best record he's been involved with

OTM. Do you think they will ever make another album?

Listening to RM/SS now. Still love it.

A second one, Payola, was planned right after the first, but it sounded like Oberst and Denver Dalley decided to follow their own muses instead. Though wikipedia says they did a reunion show in Omaha in 2010!

Desaparecidos is obviously the best thing he's ever done, I just wish there was more of it.

I'd rank 'em:
Desaparecidos
Bright Eyes
Conor Oberst
Commander Venus

(If he had released a few more albums with the Mystic Valley Band, I think that may have climbed up into second place.)

I know there are plenty of hollery politicalish bands out there right now, but they all seem to err on the Springsteen-bravado side of things compared to desaparecidos, which feels more like pinkerton+politics to me

Though it would be unsurprising if Conor got more "tramps like us, baby we're born to die" if Desaparecidos made more albums

ilxor says Desaparecidos. But when he was an emo kid he loved Commander Venus.

i need to know which one is Markers favourite

Markers?

blow johnny fevers mind and vote!

haven't really listened to the first or the third . . . have only listened to the s/t oberst solo record . . . so bright eyes

My vote would still go to Bright Eyes, but where's Park Ave?

Or, I guess, Monsters of Folk?

xpost in new york

agree with a bunch of people in this thread. Desaparecidos is the best thing he has done.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

BUMP^

Been listening to this album again recently. Remains great. The anger generated by suited cunts smarmy deals

I am only 44 yrs old. And have been a reluctant suited cunt for half of them years.

Can any of you kids recommend me anything similar please?

My lineage is Du, Rites of Spring and so on. I have heard At the Drive In, Thursday , Knapsack and loads more of that E stuff. But this baby rules.

I thought "Lua" was a lovely song but.

Sorry, to be clear, I mean Read Music/Speak English

Monsters of Folk

fwiw, my favourite Bright Eyes will always be Fevers & Mirrors

Oh Fuck.
I'm 67 now.

I'll get to the crunch and exaggerate to make a point.

Desaparecidos album is up there with the best in that genre. Bright Eyes don't do it for me as much

I was seeking some recommendations .

Have a great Easter

two new desaparecidos trax:

Fuck yes, been waiting a long time for new Desaparecidos (NB, I'm not able to stream those tracks at work, so I haven't head them yet and hearing them may temper than excitement).

listened to both songs, sounds like they signed to vagrant in 2004

Trying to decide if that is an insult or a compliment, I liked some of what Vagrant was doing back then.

well i don't know if it "sucks" or "rocks" yet, only heard it once

but yeah def a little cleaned-up, little less tightly wound

no i just meant that for some "2004 Vagrant" would def be a slam, i was just trying to figure out where you came from on that v important stance

shit i didn't vote but cosign this:
