| − | This is a rough list I made after a fairly thorough listen to my They Might Be Giants collection. I might have missed an Accordion if it was really buried in the mix. This is pretty much in album order, with the EPs thrown in between albums where I think they fit chronologically. -[[Pugly]]

| | | | |
| − | The accordion should be used more than it is in Their songs. but... that's just my opinion. it's nice to tell people that my favorite band includes an accordion and see their slightly disgusted yet intruiged reactions. i just wish there was more of it.
| + | Read the debate on [[Talk:Boat Of Car]]. |
| | | | |
| − | I think it would be a good idea to seperate the songs into ones that rely heavily on the accordion (like "Piece of Dirt" or "Subliminal") and ones that only feature it briefly or buried in the mix (like "Sapphire Bullets").

| − | ::I'm learning piano, and I talked to my music teacher and he said that once you learn some piano basics you can probably play the accordion. I noticed at the Weird Al concert I went to that when Al brought out the keyboard, he was playing with one hand. Maybe because he started playing accordion before piano, I dunno, I just found that quirky. I would think Linnell would have been playing piano first however. --[[User:Lemita|Lemita]] 01:12, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

| − | Heyo ye accordionists! Ya still here? I just started this instrument, tried learning a few polkas, didn't really get into 'em. But. I think I'd find it easier learning to play while learning a song that I know and enjoy. If people are still here... Think you could drop me a line? Email? I'm sure if you just, er, send the letters of the notes on the keyboard, I can pick up the rhythm somewhat. And I think I can work out the bass notes. I'd really appreciate this. Any song will do. Any They Might Be Giants song is a good song. Rock. -Sara (Or Henry. You decide.) (Oh, and email is thehennnry@yahoo.com. I'd really appreciate the help of fellow accordion enthusiasts. Or piano players! I'm sure it's easy to work that out too. And if any one needs 'em, I have the notes to "Ana Ng", "Experimental Film", and...a small bit of "Boss of Me". Luff-joo. <3)
