The main question has been discussed all along. The best American band currently is The National. And now Metacrtitic seems to be backing up this notion I had all along.

But it's fine that your choice is LP. So discuss why with more than zero details.

toxic weren't you talking about the best american band, as in the best one with a real US spirit or grasp of the nationality or something?

just to clarify a bit

I dunno if they really capture it, but my fave right now is At the drive-in

This is true, but people either arn't reading the thread entirely or they don't care.

Currently I think they are. I've already described in detail why throughout the thread. So my argument can definitely hold water. I've also seen "best American band" describing them as of late in a few publications and blogs in recent past. It's obvious that they'll most likely get the most votes on the end of year lists and probably alot of #1 spots if Metacritic is any indication. Not too many American bands currently can rival their songwriting except:

Animal Collective

Grizzly Bear

Okkervil River

These bands I do prefer more. But until their new ones leak this year, I can't put 'em at the top spot.

Remember what Fri was re-clarifying earlier: The best one with a real US spirit or grasp of the nationality or something.

Thats the furthest away from what toxic considers to be best american band

right now I guess Animal Collective for me, it's changed and once again they fail to falter.
