I stand by this conversation:


CMI (11:20:23 PM): no because the soft bulletin is probably the second best album of the best 15 years
CMI (11:20:35 PM): and MUCH better than yoshimi
UW (11:20:38 PM): wow
CMI (11:20:41 PM): wha?
CMI (11:20:49 PM): those 2 arent even close
UW (11:21:10 PM): I disagree
UW (11:21:29 PM): I love OIW and TSB but I love CTN and YBtPR more
CMI (11:21:39 PM): here is the thing
CMI (11:22:10 PM): im willing to accept CTN > OIW in your opinion
CMI (11:22:12 PM): i disagree
CMI (11:22:20 PM): but, im not willing to say you're wrong
CMI (11:22:21 PM): but
CMI (11:22:30 PM): saying TSB < TBtPR
CMI (11:22:31 PM): is wrong

there is no way we all will agree on whats #1, which is partly why I hate these threads. Bah.. Good lists overall though, a bunch of solid albums.

[miajag81]

Smash at #3? Great album, but no way would I rank it above Pinkerton, Elephant, or a few other ones on there.

YHFT is the most over-rated record of the last 10 years. I hate it. I don't get the obsession with it at all. Summerteeth is infinitely better. [end rant]

Here are some gems, in no particular order:

Uncle Tupelo-No Depression (and it's not close)
Marah-Let's Cut the Crap and Hook Up Later on Tonight
U2-Achtung Baby
BashNPop-Friday Night is Killing Me
BuffaloTom-Let Me Come Over
Radiohead-The Bends
The Weakerthans-Left and Leaving
16 Horsepower-Low Estate
Sebadoh-Bakesale

I really dislike this list. Mainly because 311 is on there THREE times. And Sea Change...

I was at the Ben Folds Live show where they did the album cover though. Sweet show. Avalon in the hizzouse!
