I absolutely love their first album. The third one is great too.

I get how people can find "Closer to Fine" cheesy but are there really people who don't see it as a sterling instance of the kind of song it is?

Listening more to s/t, realized that the first songs have few/no drums in a way that keep it from sounding dated.

Which I found out recently is by Irish band Hothouse Flowers!
Old-Skool ILM very much living up to the "bag of dicks" stereotype on this thread.

Is this truly the closest thing to a general Indigo Girls thread on ILM(??)
I'm realizing, very belatedly, how great they are... but intimidated at the idea of getting a grasp on an act with 15 studio albums (not to mention solo / side projects). Beyond the S/T (which I revisited for the first time since, probably, high school – it made me laugh at how good it is, on a song-by-song basis), and the Best-Of / Essential playlists, any tips on how to "get into them"?

Goddamn, for decades now I assumed they were saying "The closer I am to find," which I always assumed was an awkward but deliberate grammatical mistake.
