Hey, Mars Volta love! In a Gram Parsons thread! What are the chances? The MV album is stunning by the way.
As for Gram Parsons, I've never really got all the love for him. Sure, he's good, but no more so than many other artists. Maybe it's because I have other artists I'll go to when I'm in that state of mind. Mainly Sigur Ros, Jeff Buckly and Pulp, though they are wildly different.
Then again, I've got a lot of friends who swear by him. Any complete and utter stand-out tracks that might help me 'get him'?
