11. Yo La Tengo-
Popular Songs
Yo La Tengo (which is the outfielder's cry 'I Got It!! in Spanish) have been producing essentially the same shoegaze/dream pop with lots of 60's motif's and nods to Emerson, Lake and Palmer since 1984. I have never tired of their sound and am always amazed at how they manage to captivate me with their somber, soft-spoken lyrics. I saw them live in '07 and intend to do the same this year if at all possible. Popular Songs is different from their other albums in that all the 'Popular Songs' come first on the LP and the last three songs, which are much more long excursions into feedback guitars and a veritable jam session, of which this band is known for, fall together all at the end.
