a matter of opinion

[nowFace]

in your opinion what is a band that really gets the atmosphere of a song...a band that paints a picture in your head with almost every song?
adding lsd doesnt count

[cubine]

The Decemberists. Also, Forgive Durden. Some of the best stories told via song.

Bob Dylan, too

[bNz719]

Immortal Technique is the first one that comes to mind.

[Indoor Living]

While it's not my favorite stuff, I always get a clear idea of what's going on when I listen to The Dear Hunter saga.

[AP_Punk]

i thought the thread title said "a matter of onions".

that would've been cool

[The Personist]

I second the matter of onions. That supersedes all musical discussion.

[abandonship]

onions are disgusting

[HangsLikeHeaven]

onions are so good

[AP_Punk]

onions rock

[HometownHero]

I fucking love onions.

[yellowhouse]

onions are delicious, red onions in particular.

[HangsLikeHeaven]

Sauteed onions can go on about everything. Love onions hard.

[AP_Punk]

so hard

[abandonship]

guess I'm in the minority lol

[mmmmmpoetry]

I prefer grilled onions. ANIMAL FRIES FTW!

[zion the lion]

I like raw onions...my favorite part is the smell, that's what I came into this thread to say.

[murrich]

We can't bust heads like we used to. But we have our ways. One trick is to tell stories that don't go anywhere. Like the time I caught the ferry to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for m'shoe. So I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt. Which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. Gimme five bees for a quarter, you'd say. Now where was I... oh yeah. The important thing was that I had an onion tied to my belt, which was the style at the time. You couldn't get white onions, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones...

[stuntmaniac]

Erm ... Manchester Orchestra paint a picture in my head, as do Brand New, State Radio and Kevin Devine!

[kearn1tm]

Onions are delicious? What the fuck is wrong with you people?!

[murrich]

I actually strongly dislike onions, too bad they're in most foods.

[Jaimehere]

usually either songs that are ambient or full of emotion that makes me imagine the song as it reveals itself in my mind, a good example is Thrice's "The Artist In The Ambulance" first time i heard that song i could really imagine a person/artist in ambulance and all this crazy shit happening

[bastard_of_ness]

Denison Witmer is my favorite storyteller type, all of his songs tell a story and present a great pciture of what he's singing about. Having lived in Philly helps in getting him, though.

[kearn1tm]

The first time an onion met my mouth, all I could think of is "this is a bad atmosphere!"

[stereokiller]

onion rings are the best.

and i agree on Forgive Durden.

Gatsby's Volcano colored me a thousand paintings. So much for paintings being worth a thousand words.

Hey kids, do you love strong, overpowering and bitter tasting veggies? Yeah? Now we'll dip them in artery-clogging, greasy and gross fried dough! Yeah! Eat it kids. Eat that up, future-fatties!

...

I support onion rings because I like artery-clogging, greasy and gross fried dough.

[oddwithoutend]

Anything Phil Elverum has ever created.

[bNz719]

holy hijack.
onions smell good but taste nasty.
i recommend you chop onions into powder and inhale.
definitely a great atmosphere.

[NateFoundGlory]

I can deal with onion rings, but besides that they disgust me. If one could turn onions into audio, I imagine it'd be atmospheric.

[SincerelyMe]

Bloomin' onions anyone?

[x1onexwo1fx]

the onion (http://www.theonion.com/content/index)?

[kearn1tm]

the onion (http://www.theonion.com/content/index)?

You can't eat a website, 'tard.

[BottleRocket]

Bloomin' onions anyone?
lol

yes over and over

[x1onexwo1fx]

You can't eat a website, 'tard.

but i think the onion is delicious!

[Baby for Pree]

The cafeteria served a bacon and onion pizza the other day. It was terrible.

[trevorshmevor]

Incubus!


Edit: Said this before I realized that the thread is now about onions. Every time I ask for onions on my sub at Subway, they put like three little shreds. This does not make me happy.

[CalRahhh]

Explosions In The Sky, and definitely Modest Mouse on their "Moon and Antarctica" album.
