Andrew Bird is BARELY old enough to be put in the Oldies but Goodies category, but he is certainly no newbie, and I hope that there is no one reading this that has not already heard him. If there is, you don't know what you have been missing! I first heard him through Pandora, a little later in his career than I would like to admit to, but there was an automatic attraction.
My favorite songs are Imitosis, A Nervous Tic Motion of the Head to the Left, Oh No, Fiery Crash, Heretics, and Anonanimal, though it is quite difficult to choose because I find all of his albums very enjoyable. If you like Andrew Bird, check out his earlier project Andrew Bird's Bowl of Fire. This group sounds slightly like his solo work but in a more old timey way. Besides a few modern touches, it sounds far more like something from the 30s than the late 90s. I included a link below to this group as well.
I like Andrew Bird because his songs rarely touch into the meaningful but slightly dull place where some similar artists go into quite often. He can be meaningful, but he is also interesting. He seems to like to explore human drama, as evidence in Nervous Tic Motion of the Head to the Left and Imotosis. If you haven't already heard Andrew Bird, be sure to check him out!
