They were my first concert when I was 15...definitely didn't listen to them as much throughout my later 20s, but I've just been seshing the whole pre-Steven Page leaving discography and loving it for the past few months. It's funny that I didn't really pick up as a kid that Steven mainly sings the emotional song and Ed is mostly the silly guy. Obviously only mostly, because they both do both.

Best elements of BNL:
  • Steven's singing. Operatic really. Huge range - very emotive. Very emotional and personal songwriter.
  • But also Ed's singing - more of an everyman's voice - much easier to sing, still very emotive. A lot of silly lyrics and wordplay from him.
  • the brief harmonies and featured songs from Jim (bass), Andy (keys/percussion til '95), and Kevin (keys post-'95)
  • Jim's killer melodic/harmonic basslines
  • Tyler's drumming is very straight, but extremely solid, dynamic, with great fills. It sounds simple, but there's a lot of hidden complexity.
  • Most songs tend to have a lot of structure, but aren't on the simplest side of pop, so besides verses and a chorus there's usually a bridge or even two. I like that this provides a tonal/mood shift in the songs.

Was just thinking about Tonight Is The Night I Fell Asleep At The Wheel the other day, actually. I didn't like the song when I first heard it years back, but it grew on me pretty fast. Shockingly underrated song.

Not much of one. They had some songs, maybe an album, back around 2000 that I liked but I havent heard their stuff since.

Also goddamn, I hadn't heard that one. That's dark af.
Oh yeah baby, Steven is a dark boi. Love Tonight Is The Night I Fell Asleep At The Wheel...love that whole album. I thought I read or heard recently that Ed wrote that song? Could be wrong though, the credits on wiki aren't clear enough. That album (Maroon) always felt like their most 'adult' to me. I mean, very white contemporary adult life, but yeah lol. The song Conventioneers is my favourite I think, but besides the hits (Too Little Too Late, Falling for the First Time and Pinch Me), Never Do Anything, Sell Sell Sell and Humour of the Situation are great too.

Yep, just as foursome though. I've only listened to the first album post-Steven, All in Good Time. There're actually some great tunes on there, but it took a while to gel with me. I can get why people would be disinterested though.

Barenaked Ladies was, I think, the first concert I ever went to way, way back in the day. I would have been maybe 13?

It was a good show.
