Crap. BumCum on Tap was on my short list, Crimen y Castigo

[JeremyEritrea]

Please don't ever hot link images from Rock and Roll Confidential. The results are not very nice.

[bojendyk]

Seriously, Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain was a fine choice, especially this late in the game. As fantastic as Slanted and Enchanted was, I think I prefer Crooked Rain, at least as measured by the number of times I played each.

Pavement released an (undrafted) EP between these two records that I love most of all.

Wilco - Summerteeth

http://www.freewilliamsburg.com/archives/summerteeth.jpg

The album where Wilco really made people stand up and take notice. This is, for my money, their 2nd best album after Yankee Hotel Foxtrot and was a major step forward in terms of their sound and Tweedy's song writing skills. There are still many traces of the alt-country sounds of Being There, but when viewed with hindsight, you can see Wilco is making steps towards their YHF/A Ghost is Born sound.

A great record.

Man oh man, I was just paging through this thread looking for that record, thinking "Surely, Summerteeth must be gone already...."

So very, very great.

I am listening to that right now, trying to figure out if it was gonna be my next pick. In fact, I'm 1 minute 22 seconds into Can't Stand It as I'm typing this.

Well, I'm gonna listen to the rest of it anyway.

:D

Post your picks, I am sure the person before you just forgot.

[JeremyEritrea]

we're still in reverse order right now, correct?

[SirManchester]

OK then, I'll just make my next pick.

Stone Temple Pilots
Purple
1994

Interstate Love Song
8BDQ6mQzOKQ

Vasoline
Zq5FeHzKtqw

Big Empty (Live)
dK2524yhunE

Unglued (Live)
EBNN48NYCMo

These are the only videos I could find but tracks like Still Remains, Pretty Penny, Loungefly, and Silvergun Superman are better.

[Quango]

we're still in reverse order right now, correct?

No, I think we're heading forward on Round 7 now.

OK then, I'll just make my next pick.

Stone Temple Pilots
Purple
1994


I hate Interstate Love Song, but the rest of the album is sweet. The Johnny Mathis tribute at the end is hilarious.

For me, ranking Wilco albums is liking asking a parent to say which child they like better.....but regardless, great pick. I agree that it's a transition album in that there's still the alt-country influence but Tweedy and Jay are definitely starting to experiment more.

[Quango]

I believe Toon3's clock ran out.

Badmotorfinger ~ Soundgarden

This album absolutely rocks. It is slightly more mature than ripping on Kevin's Mom but still raw unlike the overproduced-sounding Black Hole Sun.

So awesome, Johnny Cash covered it! And it was awesome again.
