Defending the indefensible - 6: Elbow

Elbow

(Your name here.)

The old saying, "I grew a beard during that last guitar solo" (first coined during a particularly dire Paul Weller festival set in the mid-90s) is rarely more applicable.

Once again, I leave it to you - dear gentle reader, possessed of immaculate taste and a fine line in Peanuts plastic figurines - to supply the reasons.

  1. Elbow mange to make Travis look adventurous.

    Even worst Grant McLennan solo song had more ideas in it than any Elbow song.

  2. Liked their first LP. Hated everything else.

  3. OK. I'm going to take this down shortly if no one feels like venting. (I can hardly blame you: Elbow's music is so safe, so average and blameless as to not attract passion on either side of the divide.)
