[ohsojayadeva]

just about a year later and i still feel pretty good about my list.

[futuresailors]

Maybe something along these lines...
Alison's Halo: Eyedazzler
Belle and Sebastian: If You're Feeling Sinister
Slowdive: Souvlaki
Velocity Girl: Copaceptic
Rocketship: A Certain Smile A Certain Sadness

Rocketship was # 6 on my list....

wow.

i think we're on the same page. those are all fantastic.

Hey Hey Girl would be #1 but it's not exactly an album...

[SirBlend12]

Alright, stop cheating everyone. I would've put 20 albums up there if I could. It was hard cutting it down to 5, but them's the rul3z!!!!

Haha. Fair enough, fair enough. I did overdo that a bit, didn't I?

In that case, I'll say my current (and often unchanging) Top 5:

The Beatles - Abbey Road
Say Anything - ...Is A Real Boy
Modest Mouse - Good News For People Who Love Bad News
Minus The Bear - Planet of Ice
The Killers - Hot Fuss

Pretty much in that order, as well.

Still Remains - Of Love And Lunacy

Ha, yes! I used to be in a band with the guitarist after he quit Stilly. And no it was a metalcore band. Far from it.

I love "List" threads! Especially ones resurfaced from the bowels of I<3Fuzz.

Deep breath...

Smashing Pumpkins - Melon Collie and the Infinite Sadness
Nine Inch Nails - With Teeth
Radiohead - OK Computer
Muse - Black Holes and Revolation
Coldplay - A Rush of Blood to the Head (I might pay for this one, but it's a guilty pleasure)

This made me think of an idea for another "List" thread. It'll be a little more specific.
