    I know Love Vigilantes is a New Order cover but his version is just so good

    One of my favorites that I never hear mentioned is "On Your Wings"

    You've inspired me to make one of these. But I'll keep mine to CD length.

    Yeah that's one I considered putting on there. The subtle instrumentation is incredible.

    Also, "Free Until They Cut Me Down" just missed too

    Our Endless Numbered Days is typically considered the other classic in his catalog. I'd start there, but make a point to listen to "The Trapeze Swinger" too.

    I think you'd really appreciate Kiss Each Other Clean. It's the most he's ever extended his sound and its my favorite of his because of that. I'll always be a bit bummed that he didn't continue down that path.

  16. Kiss Each Other Clean is my personal favorite.

    Kiss Each Other Clean is hit or miss for me. Some really great stuff on there, though.

    "Fever Dream" and "The Trapeze Swinger" are probably both in my all-time top 25.

    Interesting thread. My high school crush likes this group. Or said so on her facebook at one time. They seem like they’re on the soft rock side.

    no one uses metaphor better than Sam Beam. just an amazing writer.

    Spent the day listening to Iron & Wine -- including some records I haven't revisited in ages. Beam really made some of the most beautiful music ever written as his peak, didn't he?
