Would love it if they get in. I just don't think they have the commercial success needed. I think that's underrated because their success came at the same time (and same demographic, notably young folks) where illegally downloaded music was at its peak!

They weren't really a band (James Mercer vehicle) with tons of lineup changes. Took forever to release albums and had fair degree of wasted potential. Chutes Too Narrow is essential.
