TMBG is my number 1 most listened to artist on Spotify and I've been listening to them since 2000 so I'm more than a casual fan. And I've never been like "oh that's a John F. song."

I didn't even realize it was a thing people thought about until this album when people were saying things like "oh that's a great John L. song."

I know they both have different unique voices and if I actually think about it I could easily say which is which but to me it just... all sounds like TMBG. I literally do not care which one of them is singing, I love them both.

Anyone else feel the same way or are you all like super aware of which song is which John's?

By the way, loving the new album, regardless of who is singing.

So when I first heard the new album, I was mixed on my feelings. I gave it a chance and now it seems to be the only thing I’m listening to lately. I absolutely love it. Gotta say my favorite song on the album I think is in the dead mall.

Assuming you’d have the time, talent, etc. to back it up, what lyrical word or phrase would you use to name your fantasy TMBG tribute band? For example, “My band ‘Discarded Folderol’ has a gig this weekend in Constantinople.”

I think he was incredible across the board on Flood. also love Narrow Your Eyes, Sleeping in the Flowers, On the Drag, Old Pine Box, and I Like Fun. lately enjoying Hit the Ground from the new album.

Does anybody know what album will be featured on what night for the Philly shows? Hoping to hear can’t keep Johnny down.

If we were just foing personal favorites with no attempt at representing their full discography i'd go

1. Metal Detector
2. Ana Ng
3. The Statue Got Me High
4. Snowball in Hell
5. I Palindrome I
6. Thunderbird
7. They'll Need a Crane
8. Spiraling Shape
9. Birdhouse in Your Soul
10. Your Probably Get That a Lot
11. Erase
12. We Want a Rock
13. Unpronouncable
14. Hey Mr. DJ I Thought You Said We Had a Deal
15. I Love You for Psychological Reasons
16. Lucky Ball and Chain
17. I've Got a Match
18. Answer
19. Careful What You Pack
20. Don't Let's Start

Not the most comprehensive listing and mostly showcases their earlier stuff and while I really like a lot of their newer stuff and find those more recent albums to be much more consistent I like how in those early albums for every couple of bizzare novelty songs they dropped pure genius.

Taking public transit to one of the Brooklyn shows and would like to have a good idea of how early I need to leave. Thanks, all!

I grew up on Flood, and could sing every lyric to every song in record order. But for some reason... thats where I stopped. I want to jump in and add some new material, but I also know that when a band has been around this long, there are some albums that are harder to get into. I don't want to pick the wrong thing, and end up disappointed. So, if I were to get an album, without listening to it online beforehand, as a big fan of Flood... which one is next?
