Dramamine is about as great as song get

a run of songs of Bury Me with It, Dance Hall, and Bukowski. That stands up with any trip of songs on any of their albums.

If we are talking about favorite songs I'll nominate "Other people's lives"
The perfect union of punk and melody...
which is what this band is all about for me

False. It may depend on the night. I don't know. I saw them at HOB for the first time in 2007 and the sound was awful. I've seen them 5 or 6 times sense then and they sounded great.
I last saw them 2 years ago and it was a really good show. Played lots of classics.
I never get why people think they "sold out" with Good News. There is 1 song on that album that was a huge hit and put them on the map, but honestly, I'd consider Moon and Antarctica a much more accessible album than Good News. Yet many people consider that their "Masterpiece."

Yeah, pretty ridiculous to just label them a Pavement re-do.

And their sound isn't original, its a pavement rip off. I really enjoy modest mouse but its a pavement redo.
Not really.

And as far as albums, gimme some combination of Moon and Antarctica, This is a Long Drive for Someone With Nothing to Think About, Lonesome Crowded West and Building Nothing Out of Something (Compilation of older tracks [ Broke, Baby Blue Sedan, Whenever You Breathe Out, I Breathe In (Positive Negative)])

Modest mouse have always been a favorite band of mine. Moon and Antarctica is an classic.

You find much bigger Pavement fans than me, but I don't see them as a comp to Modest Mouse at all. I think Spoon is more of a Pavement redo than anyone. I mean, i don't really think of Modest Mouse as a lo fi band.

saw them live a few months back in Forest Hills, Queens. Great show, great sound, 9/10, would see again.

The World At Large might be my favorite song by them.
Awesome song.
Awesome song.

As others have said that Pavement rip-off comment was total bullshite. Pixies and Built to Spill are bigger influences anyway.
Maybe my favorite band ever. Top 5 for sure. Love all their work, but Moon and Antartica and Lonesome Crowded West are my favorties.

They released an ep in 2009.

I'd call them a more commercially successful Archers of Loaf. I'm always backing the wrong horse, it seems.

Oh i do, especially the first two albums. There newer stuff is much bigger sounding.
Hell, when I first put on this is a long drive with nothing to talk about my friends thought it was a new pavement album. Now this was before they were big but the guitars sounds very similar and the absurdity of the songs.

Well, I definitely hear the pixies in modest mouse, and certainly a little built to spill.
I am sticking with my pavement comparison. maybe total rip off was hyperbole. But they sound a lot a like.
And I know that I am not alone in this
Last.fm agrees. rating them highly similar although it says Animal collective is highly similar so maybe I am just high.
I do really love pavement, built to spill, spoon and modest mouse. Modest mouse is probably my least favorite of those 4, but I still have all of their albums and listen to them pretty regularly.
