PopTodd Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 I know that these guys are supposed to be pretty amazing, and influential, but the only album of theirs that I've heard: I didn't really care for.Didn't bother digging any further, but for some reason I was thinking about them today. (Did one of you mention them recently?)Where should I go for a good representation of their good stuff. Or, if I didn't like The Herd, will I just not like 'em?

tinnitus photography Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 that's not the place to start...that would be like wondering about the Velvet Underground and listening to _Squeeze_. well, maybe not *that* extreme, but you really can't go wrong w/ stuff from the debut up through at least _Land of the Lost_, and one can make a pretty strong argument that good songs exist on _Follow Blind_ and _The Circle_ (not to mention Sage's two solo records, _Straight Ahead_ and _Sacrifice (For Love)_. the 1st three are the most hallowed, however.

Katie3 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I've been told Youth of America is their best, but I still have to check them out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 personally i think YoA is a bit overrated; great title track, epic. but the 1st and 3rd are overall stronger records. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
