    How can you not love They Might be Giants? The thick glasses, imperfect teeth, the dress sense (or lack thereof), even the accordion. Every nerd in the world should look at these guys and think, 'It doesn't matter if I'm not magazine perfect, I could be something amazing'...

    What specifically is "eccentric" about this performance? Rolling Stone has pigeon-holed TMBG since the 80's, because you couldn't figure out why they are beloved. Did you mean to call it "eclectic"? If Mumford & Sons played in your studios on washboards and steam-punk penny whistles, you'd just call it "an acoustic set". Get over yourselves RS. TMBG sounds great, can't wait to see them in Dallas this weekend!

    • @Law-of-EnTropy
      @Law-of-EnTropy Před 6 lety +21

      Eccentric also means unusual, and their "Guitar and Accordion" duo can be indeed considered as unusual ever since their start together as They Might Be Giants. And that's not really a bad thing, it's actually one of the many reasons why their fans love them. And also, correction, the performance is not the "eccentric" part, it's their set, which I had already discussed above. And yes, they are one, if not, the best rock band I have ever listened to.
