I could just make a list of ten songs (If you're feeling sinister, Dirty Dream #2, Expectations, Lazy line painter Jane, The State I am in, The Rollercoaster Ride, The Boy with the Arab Strap, Electronic Renaissance, Me and the Major, If she wants me) but i won't do that.
I'll make up proper reasons.
1. They are both pretentious and unpretentious in equal amounts.
2. They are the most grounded band ever to have won a Brit Award.
3. They made the Brit Awards cool to me.
4. They made Pete Waterman and Steps cry.
5. Beans is the name of one of the bandmembers.
6. Band members who have left, Isobel Campbell and Stuart David have become successful off their own backs (Mercury prize nomination and £500,000 deal respectively) but also did not dent the creative output of their former band.
7. 2 films i love. Storytelling and High Fidelity feature Belle and Sebastian.
8. They can make funny songs and sad songs and they can sound the same.
9. My friends don't like them.
10. They sing a song about Aidan Moffat, and subsequently let this song be used for Teachers, the channel 4 comedy about Teachers (not sure if it was obvious what Teachers was about so explained it to you)
You'll be hearing a lot more Belle & Sebastian praise in the future.
