Do I??? Nickel Creek is one of my all-time favorite bands! We already have a topic semi-dedicated to them here:

My friend got my dad and I hooked on Nickel Creek about 2 years ago. I finally saw them live a few months ago, and it was incredible! They're very fun in concert, and play a few suprise covers which are absolutely hilarious. If you like Nickel Creek, you should also check out Chris Thile, who's their mandolin player. He has several solo albums-- but the best is Not All Who Wander Are Lost. Truely one of the best CDs I have. Unfortunately, the band is going their separate directions for awhile (hopefully they'll get back together eventually) but they're all doing solo projects, which is good. I'm excited to see what comes of that!
It's next to impossible for me to pick my favorite songs.... but here's a few:
Reasons Why
Beauty and the Mess
Doubting Thomas
Stumptown
Scotch and Chocolate
Smoothie Song
Speak
When In Rome
Ode to a Butterfly
L-R: Chris Thile (mandolin), Sara Watkins (fiddle/violin), Sean Watkins (acoustic guitar)
Of course, those are their primary instruments, I'm pretty sure they all play multiple.
Genius, I tell you.
