Neutral Milk Hotel is a VERY unapreciated band.Course "Aeroplane" is a landmark in rock music catalogue but worlwide critics and listmakers will only note that in 20 or 30 years late.The same will happen with another "new" classics like Beta Band's "The Three EPs" and Wilco's "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot"
Well, I'd hardly call YANKEE HOTEL FOXTROT underappreciated -- it's currently at #195, which I suppose is too low if you love it but not what I'd call an injustice (now, SEA CHANGE languishing at #449, _that's_ unfair). I wholeheartedly agree about IN THE AEROPLANE OVER THE SEA, however. To me, at the least -- at the very least -- it should be in the top 500; that it's as low as #915 (which is still higher than it has been at times) is positively mind-boggling. It's brilliant in every way, even if it was apparently so painful for Jeff Mangum to make that he hasn't done anything since.
