2004 Brian Wilson "Smile". By the way, it's high on my list of the best rock albums ever.

How so?

I forgot Audit In Progress by The Hot Snakes.

Blonde Redhead's Misery is a Butterfly keeps getting better with every listen, so I pick that one.

Brian Wilson's 'Smile'

the one i've gotten most into is the arcade fire - funeral... but i haven't been listening to it for long so i don't know if it's gonna stay the favourite

hot snakes- audit in progress (my number one of the year)
comets on fire- blue cathedral
decahedron- disconnection imminent
pj harvey- uh huh her

you know, i was thinking that they were both dead spots in their eras, but that's not really fair

there were probably close to a dozen all-time great albums in 1969, and many many fewer than that in 1982. then again, there were more great albums in 1968 than in 1981, as well. but the discrepancy between 1969 and the years that surrounded it was not as great as the same discrepancy regarding 1982.

This will all come full circle again in 19882. Seriously.

back on topic,

The Arcade Fire's Funeral is a very good record, but their live show..oh lord, it's a great record. Hot cha!
