Neutral Milk Hotel "In The Aeroplane Over The Sea"

Many people debate the merits of this record... You will either love it or hate it. That said I must confess I think it may be the pinacle of "alternative" music. I was first told of Neutral Milk Hotel by a coworker named Amy. I thought she was yanking my chain with some made up band name like "raisin on a stick" until she dropped a beat up taped copy from a friend of a friend in my lap. I was amazed. Since then I have purchased 2 copies on CD and finaly found a copy on vinyl. And yes I feel it is worth every bit of searching. Musical saw. Horn section. Voice about to crack while being pushed to its limits. Really makes me smile.
