Modest Mouse

Every once in a while the universe decides to give man kind a precious gift, a gift that makes you forget about all the crappy things that are happening in the world or in your life. A gift so tremendous that like, no one knows about it! This gift is Modest Mouse

Modest Mouse is by far one of my top three favorite bands ever. I have been a huge fan ever since i was like 15. They are by far the most innovative, beautifully crafted band that has ever picked up instruments. I love love love this band, with every album they get better and more diverse. I actually pretty much base my opinion on peoples music tastes by seeing if they can appreciate this wonderful band. If not, i feed them to my lions.

Modest Mouse was formed in 1993 by Isaac Brock, Eric Judy and Jeremiah Green in the small mountainous town of Issaquah Washington. They have since produced five studio albums (not including b-sides, EPs and countless rarities).
I could sit here and tell you all about why this band rocks, but i will just tell you that this is one of America's  greatest and most important bands and if you do not think so, let me know on the comments, but be prepared to be thrown into a den of lions...
Instead, listen to these selected tracks, see if you can handle the brillance.
