I think I saw a topic about this some time ago, but I got nothing from search so.
I personally feel that Conor Oberst is one of the most talanted singer/songwriter of our time. His songs are great, his live performances is amazing and it's not often you come across someone that can make music with that amount of feeling to it.
I was introduced to his music by a friend about 4-5 years ago and is one of the few artists who has never once disappeared from my playlist during this time.
Road to Joy (You gotta love the fact that they smashes a trumpet!)
True Blue (Personal favorite)
An Attempt to Tip the Scales
Soo... Anyone else listen to Bright Eyes, or Conor Oberst?
