So someone in the favorite song thread mentioned "Slow Show" by the National.

I'm a 50+ bluegrass, classic country, southern rock etc guy and would have never found this. I have to say thanks, that was a good tip.

Been listening to them for a couple weeks now. Lyrically great songs, and their style is surprisingly appealing to me. I figured out Slow Show on the D-18 including the beautiful coda.

They are fantastic. Boxer is a all-time top ten album for me.

The National is very good. I find them to be an acquired taste. When you first listen to them, it seems low key and boring. The more you listen, the more you discover their layers and exceptional skills. They are far from boring once you "get" their sound.

I’m astounded by the love they receive on this site. I just can’t get into it. To each his own I guess.

They have a lot of good stuff but I’m gonna say Lit Up. It was the first song I’ve heard from them and it’s just always stuck as on of my favorites.
