Genesis Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 (edited) Firstly, unless I'm mistaken and it's a different band, there's no 'The.'Yeah, Eels rule all. Remarkable song writer, I have to been in a mood to listen to them. Can't wait to get the live album soon.Plus the MC Honky project was fantastic.

T Patten Posted March 14, 2006 Author Share Posted March 14, 2006 (edited) Yep, it is just "eels" like i put at the start of my post, mark has said that on many occasions, but i thought i better put the eels otherwise people might've thought i was talking about fish Edited March 14, 2006 by Keith Moon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Niveen Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 (edited) I've got their first album "Beautiful Freaks" (1996). Great record.The singer (E) had recorded two solo albums in 1992 and 1993, but they weren't as good as "Beautiful Freaks".

T Patten Posted March 16, 2006 Author Share Posted March 16, 2006 only heard that single where their floating in the video, quite liked it and i may check them out soon, whats the best album?Their latest studio release blinking lights & other revelations is my favourite at the moment, but beautiful freak is very good also and contains my favourite eels song in your lucky day in hell, but all their albums are good, including electro shock blues but i wouldn't recommend this as your first buy of eels stuff as it's not as easily accessible as it's all about death etc......So for me, get beautiful freak.
