EELS Appreciation Thread
 

Sometimes i think The Eels don't get the attention they deserve, not that Mr. Everett is a complete unknown but sometimes I wish his name would be more of a household name than let's say Lady Gaga. But then again fame does sometimes kill everything :P Anyways here are 11 Eels tracks for those who don't know them and I would find it hard to believe if you can't find at least one song you enjoy.

Re: EELS Appreciation Thread
 

No "Last Stop: This Town" or "Mr. E's Beautiful Blues"? Those are probably two of the catchiest songs that would interest non-fans (or make non-fans say, "Oh yeah, I remember that!"). Edit: since I obviously don't know how to embed videos:

Last Stop: This Town

Mr. E's Beautiful Blues

"Goddamn right, it's a beautiful day"

Re: EELS Appreciation Thread
 

I really, really, like the Souljacker / Rotten World Blues album. On the other side, I didn't care for Tomorrow Morning much at all. Maybe it will sink in further down the road.

Re: EELS Appreciation Thread
 

Electro-Shock Blues is amazing...haven't caught up with too much of E's later stuff, though. His solo albums (A Man Called E, Broken Toy Box, etc.) are also worth looking into.

Saw a really cool documentary about Mark Everett (E)'s journey to discover his father's work as the physicist who developed the theory of a Parallel Universe. It was called Parallel Worlds, Parallel Lives (BBC4). Check it out if you have the chance.

Re: EELS Appreciation Thread
 

I only have "Daisies Of The Galaxy" and love it, I need to pick up some others...What is recommened if I like that album?

Re: EELS Appreciation Thread
 

^ I would start with their previous album Electro-Shock Blues. That was my introduction and its also considered to be one of his best works. But I also recommend "Hombre Lobo" which is fucking awesome!

Re: EELS Appreciation Thread
 

Yep, Electro-Shock and Daises are the masterpieces, IMO.

Re: EELS Appreciation Thread
 

Yup, Electro-Shock and Daisy's are awesome.
