Dear barkon & Bohemiengeek42,You are completely right about my list being opinion based.  Somebody had played the band for me years ago and I was supremely unimpressed.  A lady I know just told me to give them another shot.  I did.  I spent a few hours listening to THE CRANES WIFE?  MY OPINION is that the personalities behind the music and lyrics are not complex enough to keep me entertained.  It's like a movie whose end you know from the beginning. Why keep watching it?
