r/Interpol

Hey guys! As the title says, I discovered Interpol a few months ago and fell in love with them. Genuinely haven’t stopped listening to them.

I’m making this post to just inquire from some of the older fans on this subreddit about their introduction to the band and what they loved so much about it when they were around my age or when they got introduced to this band.

Btw going to my first Interpol concert this august!

I was just wondering what people’s favourite Interpol songs are? Mine are:

My Blue Supreme, It Probably Matters, Obstacle 2, Untitled, Say Hello to the Angels, NYC, Barricade, Evil, Big Shot City, Mr. Credit, and This Mirror Ways a Ton.

I know that a handful of them are singles, but Interpol have some really good singles, haha.

All the barricade live versions are from 2010-2011, I can't find anything after that, does anyone knows why they stopped playing it? IMO is one of their best bangers.

Also in those old lives Paul doesn't sing the chorus (at least not all of it) Brandon does it instead, I've read a comment saying that Paul can't sing that high anymore due to smoking but he didn't sing the chorus in 2010 either and I don't think he couldn't sing it just a few months after the recording.

I prefer fingerstyle over pick and when I covered obstacle 1 I found that the natural tone of a finger can fit well, but even then I tried slapping on the octave parts and they didn't do well on dropped d.

Songs like evil aren't changed but something like The New felt flat

I work in retail. And to my pleasant surprise, TMWAT started playing. It’s a shame they are going to overplay it though lol. Just thought I’d share.

So, we can all agree that Sam’s groove is fundamental for Interpol unique sound, but what is his best Song, the one that really couldn’t be it without the drums?

I enjoyed listening to this, hopefully you do too. As an Irish person, always nice to hear others discussing the band.

Such a cool song. Would’ve made a great opener or closer.
