    but wait... i was told Backspacer is a total masterpiece!!!
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    That list aint to my taste really. A couple would probably make my top 20. Seems like more a fad list but each to his own. A few that should make a top 20:

    QOTSA: Songs for The Deaf
    Radiohead: Hail to the Thief
    Pearl Jam: Riot Act
    Coldplay: Parachutes
    The Cure: The Cure
    Death Cab For Cutie: Plans
    Idiot Pilot: Wolves
    The Mars Volta: De=Loused in the Comatorium
    Nine inch Nails: Year Zero

    It's gotta be top ten. Amazing album. Feels like the culmination of a decade's thought.
    we're all going to the same place...

    Hard to believe "Parachutes" came out in the 2000s but, you're right, it did. You've jogged my memory such that I can add two other contenders to the Radiohead and Wilco albums I mentioned yesterday: Coldplay's "X & Y" (yes, I realize I'm the only person who considers this his favorite Coldplay album) and U2's "All That You Can't Leave Behind."
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    Hrm. And here, I thought "X & Y" was just the 5th Anniversary reissue of Parachutes. You know, since they named their 2nd anniversary reissue "A Rush of Blood to the Head". ;)

    I don't get that at all. Coldplay's third and fourth albums don't sound much like their first or second albums.
