Been a fan for years. Saw TMBG live here in Atlanta a few yrs ago. VERY entertaining.

I saw them live this summer in D.C. for $7. It was a special event thing, on Pennsylvania street in front of the Capitol. Terrific show!

So, in the interest of actually starting a discussion: What is everyone's favorite TMBG songs?

Here's my list of favorites:

Don't Let's Start
She's an Angel
Ana Ng
Where your Eyes Don't go
Hearing Aid
Hall of Heads
Snail Shell
Mink Car
Wearing a Raincoat
Museum of Idiots

There are a lot more that I really love, but I went with what I consider TOP favorites. These are the songs I can listen to over and over and always love. These are the songs I'm delighted to show up next on shuffle on my iPod playlist.

Anyone else care to share?

lOVE THEM! Loved the documentary. Was one of my son's favorite groups -- he was especially fond of "Particle Man." :-)

My daughter's favorite is, I think, Birdhouse in Your Soul (or something like that) plus she frequently quotes others, like "The Sun is a Mass of Incandescent Gas" and something about a squirrel.

Didn't they redo "Constantinople" also?
We liked that, too.

They make me proud to be geeky.

But I don't know any of the ones you listed, AnotherFireFly [edit]-- we only stumble on stray songs from friends. Do they have a greatest hit album out there?

I *knew* I liked you guys!

There actually is a greatest hits, called "Dial-a-song" a two disc set. Of course, not all of my favorites are on there, but that's greatest hit albums for ya

I strongly recommend picking up "Then: the earlier years". It contains the entire first two albums, PLUS Miscellaneous T (an album of older B-sides), PLUS several bonus fun snippets - all for a considerable low price. Both the albums alone are terrific, and Lincoln, the 2nd one (included), is one of my favorites. :)

I'm a pretty recent fan, actually. This summer I just kept buying more and more of their albums and stuff. They're lots of fun in concert, too! And yes, I own the documentary too. Oh, I also recommend the DVD "Direct from Brooklyn", which contains music videos for Doctor Worm, Snail Shell, The Guitar, The Statue Got Me High, Istanbul (Not Constantinople), Birdhouse in Your Soul, They'll Need a Crane, Purple Toupee, Ana Ng, (She Was a) Hotel Detective, Don't Let's Start, and Put Your Hand Inside the Puppet Head. (The only song I don't like on there is Hotel Detective, all the others are fantastic. This was also my first TMBG purchase, and I never looked back.)

We *knew* we liked you too! Thanks for all the SHINY information. Also thanx for reminding me that I want to catch those guys in concert. Gotta do that! Gotta check their calendar. Perhaps all the NE region Firefly TMBG Fans can meetup at one of their shows. Ooh, what a brilliant notion.

I'll make sure Sami sees your recommendations about CDs (since she's the lucky holder of all the holiday gift certificates for buying stuff online).

Are you between semesters like I am?
Is that why we're online a lot lately, or are we just lazy mouse-potatos? You are not required to respond to that; it's semi-rhetorical

Would you believe that I listen to them EVERY day. It's not that hard. They do the theme song for "Higglytown Heros". It's a show on Playhouse Disney that my 3 year old watches. They even have "cameos" from time to time with the songs "video".

A kind word turneth away wrath, but not as well as superior firepower
