From the 1990s come Neutral Milk Hotel which released two albums and then disappeared only to reform recently and start touring again. The force behind the band, based in Athens, Georgia (also home to REM, the B-52s and Southern Culture on the Skids) was guitarist, singer and songwriter Jeff Mangum.
Their second album, In The Aeroplane Over the Sea, released in 1998, received critical raves and some people actually purchased it (including THC Jr which is how THC first heard them). This is the title song, sonically weird, with offbeat semi-delirious lyrics, which combine to produce a beautiful and wonderful effect.
