Slint have the best album of the two but Low have more great albums and abso-fuckin-lutely blow Slint out of the water live. One of the only bands to raise the hair on my arms playing live. Has to be Low.

Low has brought me to tears, live and on record.

Slint has made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. When I was 24 they might have been my favorite band.

I can't listen to Slint for long any more. Both of their albums have tracks I will get up to pick up the needle and skip at this point in my life, especially Spiderland.
:shock:

Low had some really boring stuff in their career, but not around the time I saw them.

Low wins by a roach dick.

Every single Low vocal harmony uses the same interval. I can't make more than 3 or 4 Low tracks these days without the vocal harmonies driving me slightly mental.

Slint, easily.

And every single Slint song uses the same speak-yell vocal narrative. So what? If it is done well, it's done well.

Slint never recorded a song as beautiful as "The Plan."
God, I love this song.

Low.

Travelled from Norwich to Glasgow to see them in April last year, couldn't belive how easily the Drums and Guns songs translated live.

One of the best times I've had at a live gig, even when a fight broke out at the front of the crowd for some reason, I suppose there's a first time for everything?

Reckon that's because Drums and Guns is like a "remix/bsides/songs alan plays with other bands" record
