'In the Aeroplane over the Sea' the other day. Good album. :cool:

    Definitely, one of my faves. You cannoot get tired of that album, not a chance. On Avery Island is nice too. You can really see how the band's greatness developed from the first to their second album.
    Well, do you need a lot of what you've got to survive?

    Yup, it's a very good album, one of the better from that decade.

    I was more thinking along the lines of "one of the defining albums of the decade", but hey, to each his own ;)

    Good Mark? GOOD???!?!?!

    just wait til it finally hits you.

    The last line of the album is the best ending ever.
    "I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"

    I'd put it in the top 25 easily, I'd have to put some more thought into it as for it being top 15-10-5 or anything. Still, top 25 of the decade is pretty good. Also, it's hard for it to "define" the decade for me since I never heard the album until a few years after the decade was over
