I think you should take one for the team and buy one.

I did this by the way so you're all welcome :) 

Surprised this hasn't been bumped at least once following the Taylor release though I know her thread has rarely left hot status.

Something to discuss while avoiding work though, what are your favourite songs/albums National members have been involved in? Obvs not including National albums. I'd be interested as I'm sure there are loads I don't know about.

I’ve listened to Taylor’s new one and all I could think was...

This would be so much better with Matt singing over it. 

The production from Dessner is exquisite.

 

I wouldn't be at all surprised to hear a cover or two over the coming months.

Don't really agree with this. While Dessner obviously has an impact, I feel it has definitely been refined by/for Swift to suit a pop sound and it'd be an awkward fit for The National.

I like the way nileppez thinks. 

Talking of new National I saw this on my news field earlier - https://www.nme.com/news/music/the-nationals-bryan-devendorf-wants-bands-new-album-to-be-stripped-back-and-minimalist-like-idles-2742638?amp

 

They've alluded to the stripped back rock album for years now, wonder if it'll ever happen. 

Also there's this out Friday only, and has Matt doing a cover of Inbetween Days https://goodmusic2020.bandcamp.com/

Firstly, any list where Pink Rabbits isn’t top doesn’t count.

Secondly:

Pink Rabbits

Terrible Love

Mistaken For Strangers

Green Gloves

Lit Up

System Only Dreams...

Anyone’s Ghost

Mr November

#9 - Turtleneck (the Pablo Honey of National lists)

I Need My Girl 

Apartment Story

There are two types of The National fan...

Those who believe Pink Rabbits is their best song and those who are correct.

About Today
Terrible Love
England
Bloodbuzz Ohio
Graceless 
Rylan
All The Wine
Light Years
Daughters Of The Soho Riots
Nobody Else Will Be There
 

Incredibly tough this. 

I’ve got no songs from Boxer, which is one of my favourite albums. 

On another day I could have half that album in my top 10.

There in lies the beauty of this band. 

In fact the only post Cherry Tree song of theirs I actively dislike is Turtle Neck.
