Ratings key:
10 - One of your very favorite artists of all time.
9 - Killer fucking band. Or artist.
8 - Great sound, great songs, great albums.
7 - Very good, but not quite great.
6 - Pretty good. More than a few songs you like. You'd entertain the thought of seeing them live if they were in the area. Or still alive.
5 - They're okay, but maybe not something you'll go out of your way to listen to.
4 - Meh. There may be a song or two, or an album that you dig, but you'd rather listen to other stuff.
3 - Not very good. You will more likely than not turn the station if they come on the radio.
2 - Not your cup of tea at all. Some people like this, but you are not one of them.
1 - Horrible in every way.
0 - In the running for worst artist/musician of all time. You would rather take a cheese grater to your face than listen to this.

A guy I know used to run a bar that their practice space sat above before they became huge. He'd often call them to work the door, and they were so broke that they'd fight over who got to do the job.

No. I didn't know him when he ran that bar, and it was in Brooklyn.

You hit 2. I'll give them an extra point at the end.

I'm surprised that I know many of these songs. Damn alternative radio. Did not know them by name though.

Anyway, I'd put them at 5. Weird and fairly different, not awful to hear.

I give them a 6. The first two songs (Electric Feel and Kids) are pretty much the songs I know and like.

Same here. Never heard the band name but recognized about half the songs instantly.

Thanks Brock!

7/10 Pretty Good. Not my favorite, but I like most of their songs. Some are overplayed at this point , but good nonetheless. Havent listened to anything recently but had that album with kids on it and liked it quite a bit.

Surprised you didnt post this popular one. Its my favorite of theirs.

Some pretty solid albums. Little Dark Age was a nice surprise last year and their first few hits have made it on to most of my playlists since they came out

It took me a number of years to actually turn around and like them, but I love their music now. One of the very few music artists of today that I like a lot - 9/10.

I'd give em a 6 overall. 5 plus an extra 1 for being the inspiration and sample for Chiddy Bang's Opposite of Adults. Better than the original. Checkit Skinny! More rap for your earhole!

2.

From the way others were talking I figured maybe I had heard one of these songs in passing and just didn't realize it was them. Nope.
