I cannot believe it has taken me this long to get into My Morning Jacket.  One of my friends (a smart one) decided it was a good time to play me their music.  They are simply amazing.  A breath of fresh air.  

Hello everyone!

I still have to listen to their other CD's, however, he just played them for me probably around 2 weeks ago.  On first listen, I knew they were going to be a band that I will love.  Suggest which album I should check out next, please!

:D

Also, you guys are really nice!  I've been to other BB's where they aren't so welcoming.  Take care and have a great day.

trust me, my intentions are to explore their entire catalog!  i usually ease myself into it though, one album at a time.  i like fully immersing myself in them!

haha, i'm so excited about them.  it's like the beginning of a new relationship.

....ok, i'm done gushing now.  thank you for all of your suggestions AND your warm welcomes.  i look forward to talking to you all.

These are my favorite threads.  

You are about to embark on a wonderful journey.  Just in time for spring!

Suggestion:

At Dawn  March-April-May

Then on the first of June, go purchase It Still Moves and call it the Soundtrack of Your Life (Volume Summer '07)

You are so in for a treat. You'll need them all so it doesn't matter what you hear next. If I had to pick one for you I'd probably say It Still Moves.

Welcome aboard  :)

Honestly, sometimes i get stuck in a musical rut and i decided that i don't want to do that anymore.  there are so many wonderful bands out there and i can't wait to get my hands on them.  i'm just kicking myself in the head now for not going to lollapalooza last year, i live by chicago!

springtime, ah, yes, that has been what has motivated me to keep opening up and welcome newer sounds into my life.

Welcome to the forum. I was at Taste Festival last year. My first MMJ show.

If you like Z, check out Okonokos. That album deserves to be played in your stereo on full blast until you either blow out your speakers or eardrums.

Just wait until you find god at one of their shows...

Welcome to the board :D I would go with Okonokos cause it would introduce you to songs from all the albums. The live versions of certain songs will give you a greater appreciation for them than studio versions. Make sure you view the Okonokos DVD too as soon as possible-mind blowing!

Hell ya.  I'm new to the forum, but my first show was in 2004.  I wasn't prepared for how much I would love them live.  SEE THEM LIVE.  Write that down.    ;)  Welcome!
