Duh. Galaxie 500. It's one of the nicest box sets ever made. Of course, NOBODY EVER FOLLOWS MY MUSICAL ADVICE, so I won't be offended if you get the Felt one. Even though it is surely not as good. Happy birthday to you!

This is a tough one. I have the G500 box set, and love it. It is definative, containing nearly everything they did, all releases, and some neat live/demo stuff. Galaxie 500 really affected my musical taste and style. I remember listenening to Today about 9 years ago, thinking that it was okay to make music full of beauty, and not to be angry all the time. But recently, I have discovered Felt via reccommendations of this list. I like what I hear, and see Felt as a closer musical cousin (Or bastard step-child, more likes), to B&S. I think the band woul dreccommend Felt. Also, the G500 is re-mixed from the original studio albums. I have some of it on the original Rough Trade releases, and when re-mixing for the box set, Mr. Kramer toned down some of the ethereal delays, much to my chagrin. I hop ehtis completely confused the issue for you. Chrispy ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .
