OK, so I owe ASP a significant portion of my music collection. I am a music proselytizer with the best of them.
madelen, you know that I love to share!
Two bands whom I'm obsessed with that I owe the initial shock of love to GG:
The Shins ("Know Your Onion!" was played in "Like Mother, Like Daughter" in S2)
Pernice Brothers ("Clear Spot" in S2 and "Weakest Shade of Blue" in S4 - two of my favorites - very nice picks there)
I also adore that Joey Ramone version of "What A Wonderful World"
But yeah, as you can tell, The Shins alone (my favorite "find" of this decade thus far) made me one happy obsessive. Thanks to ASP and Helen Pai.
Sam Phillips is nice, but not standout to me. I think she does a fabulous job supplying the la-la's on GG, and her songs are good, but not quite in that obsessive echelon. Maybe in the "solid" category. I only own 1 of her albums, but I would like to get her newest. Not superhigh on my priority list at the moment though.
