John Linnell is basically a perfect hybrid of Russell and Ron Mael. [2] Although I like to think of TMBG as Sparks' heirs (even though Sparks is still making incredible music)

I think you will find few fans opposing your view, but I really like Mono Puff AND Linnell's solo work!! I think maybe Flansburgh's TMBG stuff would be a little more interesting if he could do more things Linnell is less comfortable doing.

i'm not trying to start a debate here, but hearing mono puff versus linnell's solo work makes me realize that linnell really is the driving force of the band for me. flansburh is good and has some cool songs, but linnell is a lyrical and compositional master in my opinion. he really puts forth the bizzare, surreal, and yet still pop sound that i adore from tmbg. i also like his voice more. but yeah, the group of linnell and flanny is still a really great duo and the team work probably helps him write. also, we would never have heard of linnell without flans.

Well I mean, CLEARLY AN EP ABOUT NYC MAYORS HAS NO CHANCE OF NOT BEING THE BEST THING EVER. I love so much that he even came up with the idea of that. JOHN LINNELL'S EPIC NERDINESS FTW. <3333333333
