They Might Be Excellent

The Number One Consistently Sweet Band Of All Time, in my opinion, is the always refreshing They Might Be Giants. TMBG has been regularly cranking out albums since 1986 at the rate of about one every two years (on average). In addition to this, the have a ridiculously obscene amount of unreleased tracks, many of which can be found free on their website: http://www.tmbg.com.

If you'd like to know more about them, try the extremely well-made and maintained fan wiki at: http://www.tmbw.net/wiki/Main_Page.

And, why the hell not: Flood.

(Sometimes your browser will ask if it's OK to use this link. It worked for me, but I'm not responsible for any broken internetz.)

This is Flood, their third LP. It was released in 1990, but it's a great introduction to the band and was one of only two of their records to go gold. It also has two of their most well-known tracks, "Birdhouse In Your Soul" and "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)."

They Might Be Giants: Call them Alternative, call them Intellectual Rock, just don't call them zany.
