    yes, to each is own. I guess it's cool if they play it live- as long as it's later on in the set (so I can sit down for a couple of minutes).

    cool thread..

    albums

    1. riot act
    2. binural
    3. backspacer
    4. avocodo

    best songs

    1. inside job
    2. grievance
    3. 1/2 full
    4. unthought known
    5. cropduster

    worst songs

    1. big wave
    2. supersonic
    3. gonna see my friend


    the songs were really tough, as far as the best are concerened. i don't really think i could choose a top 5, but those are definitely among them. funny, i think their best song of the decade is off the worst album. i was thinking about throwin severed hand in there too, but that would just be too much.

    Yea, choosing the top 5 songs is kind of like choosing from a litter of golden retriever puppies. But it has to be done.

    I love that James Taylor signature. I have a friend who got into a brawl with that guy and got his ass kicked. Ok, not really.

    Sweet Lew is, I believe, a Binaural leftover, and is eligible. Thus Severed Hand is spared its first negative vote.

    Update: I'm going to extend voting to Sunday, 12/6, at midnight. I'll tabulate the final votes Monday morning.

    Backspacer has just taken the lead on Binaural! They've seesawed for a w hile now.

    Best Song:
    Unthought Known continues to lead. Next up: NAIS, Sleight of Hand, Inside Job, Grievance.
    Also, someone finally voted for Love Reign O'er Me. About time - it's a great cover, and sounds amazing live.

    Least Favorite Song:
    Help Help has a small lead over Evacuation. Thin Air received a 3rd place vote, its vote of any kind. Inside Job recieved a 1st & 2nd place vote. My beloved Avocado continues to be pummeled.
