3. I say the one-two punch of side two of the Murmur album i.e. Catapult and Sitting Still ...

Is the most epic sustained patch of (apparently) nonsense mumbling of Mike's illustrious early career. I used to entertain my friends attempting to sing along to those two songs, purposefully making up nonsense words ...

The IRS era was f***ing magical though, man. I don't care what anyone says, that was a creative burst every bit the equal of what the Beatles did in their first 5 albums, or Creedence, or U2, or The Smiths ... over the same opening-career span. All 5 are friggin' legendary, and the Chronic Town EP/Dead Letter Office disc is also very worthy ... their outtakes and b-sides were better than 95% of other bands stuff.
