I first heard Elbow's music whilst making the long commute home from work late one evening in 2006. I believe it was playing on a college station here on the east coast of the U.S.A.
I've always been a huge Peter Gabriel fan, so Guy's voice had an immediate appeal and his lyric writing style has such a poetic sensibility that I was immediately hooked.
I played the music for my son, who was ten at the time, and he picked it up as a favorite too.
Most of my friends are musicians, who also took to it. It's so difficult to find music that is enjoyable to listen to, makes you think and seems enduring these days. I look forward to each new offering!
