Bright Eyes hasn't even made any quality recordings, let alone any sort of sub-category.
Conor Oberst has proven himself to be a highly gifted musician. His songwriting is beyond disrespect...anyone who knows how challenging it can be to craft a song would agree. Conor writes intricate, multi-instrumental, and memorable songs. You might not like his music but its retarded to disrespect his talents.
Its like if I didnt like Dr. Dre and then said hes a worthless producer...all opinion aside, his talent is undeniable.
