which means I probably didn’t learn any lessons from slogging through all those Kansas albums. I don’t actually like much Styx music, I’m just sort of curious about their stabs at “prog.” And hey, you know about my habits with Dream Theater and Weezer, two acts that I loved when I was younger but which kept putting out crappy, disappointing albums that I could only be bothered to listen to once or twice, and I’m NOT finishing those guys’ discographies. (In the case of Weezer I stopped in 2009.)

I wonder if doing the entire Roine Stolt discography would be worse than doing the entire Robert Pollard discography.

Some of the more modern stuff I’ve considered is stuff like Tame Impala and Grizzly Bear’s Veckitamest and some of the others that I’ve listened to as background music maybe once or twice.

There was also a part of me that wanted to hear all that cutesy Pitchfork stuff that you guys used to talk about all the time in 2003-2010, all that stuff like Fiery Furnaces and whatnot. I’ve heard a lot of Elephant 6 but not all of it. But it does seem like the world has moved on from cutesy albums like that, and I never heard any Sufjan Stevens albums besides the two he did about states, one of which became a huge favorite of mine.
