I'll have to check them out. The mid-90s were a great period for music, even though as usual the best stuff got little airplay. Though I sort of think the "All This Useless Beauty" album is about the last time Costello was really interesting, for me at least. Ow. It's actually physically painful for me to say that.

Neutral Milk Hotel's "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea" is probably a top 10 album of the entire decade for me, and I find its an album that I come back to and appreciate more and more as the years go by. As to what it sounds like, I'll leave that to someone else. Either of the two main Olivia Tremor Control are worth hearing, if you are into experimental, orchestral pop, and have a high tolerance for albums that go off on short experimental tangents.

I suggest you check out his 2008 release "Momofuku".

I will check that out, but I do find a lot of his more recent stuff to be pretty tough going (no matter how funny he was on the Colbert Xmas special). Neutral Milk Hotel and Olivia Tremor Control ... Well, it's that time of month for me (on eMusic), so I'm downloading "Aeroplane" now, thanks! >>Neutral Milk Hotel's "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea" is probably a top 10 album of the entire decade for me, and I find its an album that I come back to and appreciate more and more as the years go by.
