Q. I was lucky enough to see Elbow in Charlotte, NC when they opened for Coldplay and I thought they were amazing and quite the crowd pleasers. I would love to get all of their albums but money is a bit tight right now and I can only afford to get one. In your opinion, which one should I get??


The Oracle replies:

It's a tricky one because Elbow have some amazing songs on their fantastic catalogue of albums. My favourite overall album of theirs is The Seldom Seen Kid.
As that is their latest chances are most of the songs you heard and liked in Charlotte were from that very CD.
