    Hmm, it's really hard with them.
    Right now: Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star.
    NYC Ghosts and Flowers always ranks high with me.
    Using the word "methinks" in your message board posts doesn't make you look smart.

    I guess not one of you has heard Washing machine.:D
    If I had to pick a different one than that I would have to go with Sister.

    Washing Machine.....without a doubt!
    Sister and Daydream Nation in a tie for 2nd.

    When they headlined Lollapalooza in the mid-90's they played a bunch of that album and often closed sets with an amazing version of Diamond Sea.

    NYC has to be one of the worst albums ever made...according to me anyways...you're the first person i've ever heard of liking nyc.

    My favs:

    washing machine and jet set.
