It’s funny, I’ve never really gotten into MBV. By all accounts, I should really enjoy their music. I love YoLa Tengo, Sonic Youth, Luna, PJ Harvey, The Sugarcubes, KNOWER (similar insofar as the vocals get kinda buried back in the mix and are breathy and high), Unwound…my bloody valentine should definitely be in my wheelhouse. But…no matter how many times I’ve listened to them I just haven’t been grabbed by any of it.
There have been plenty of bands that this had happened with, and I finally listened at the right time and fell in love—who knows, that might still be possible. But after many years MBV just never did anything for me.
Can anyone recommend one song that they just feel is their go-to to recommend? It’s weird, I feel like when I listen that I could enjoy it, but…it just bores me? I don’t know why, that’s not usually a feeling I feel often with music that isn’t just standard pop fare. Still feel that way, though.
