How do I love thee, Super Furry Animals?
Let me count the ways:
1. They're Welsh!
2. Stylistic variation between songs! Examples:
3. Artistic growth over many albums!

4. Obscure origins!
Early years as Welsh-only band
5. Side projects!

Acid Casuals 'Bowl Me Over', featuring SFA keyboardist Cian Ciaran.
6. Furry costumes!
7. Intriguing singer with lots of personality and smooth voice!

8. Silliness!
9. Non-English-language double albums!
Mwng review
10. Most importantly, great tunes!
