Just a note, this list doesn't feature any compilations or soundtracks, and will undoubtedly be in a state of constant shifting.

Wezzo06/13/2008

This list in order? If so, I am mighty impressed (and pleased) Accelerate tops your list.

WriterWill3706/13/2008

:-D

Of all their albums, I've found it's the one I can listen to the most or just simply rock out to. Every song on it is kick-ass to the max.

CaptMal06/24/2008

Sweet list, man.

WriterWill3706/26/2008

Muchos gracias. :)

twoprinces2708/29/2008

I really like your list, you have good taste in music! I was really happy to see so many Beatles albums.

WriterWill3708/29/2008

Thanks! :-D

The Beatles rule.

Rushmore09/03/2008

anyone who has pablo honey in their top 20 is....AWESOME! its such an underrated album, i can't for the life of me understand the bad rap it gets. It's a hell of a record.

it seems we share a lot of the same tastes in music, white stripes, REM, radiohead, beatles, weezer, smiths ect.

WriterWill3709/04/2008

Oh, man, Pablo Honey is INSANELY underrated, isn't it? Definitely ranks with Radiohead's best, especially with songs like "Creep" and "Thinking About You."

Rushmore10/28/2008

Accelerate has been shifted down quite a few notches i see. I have that on my pc but still yet to give it a listen

WriterWill3710/28/2008

Yeah, as much as I do love it, I'm thinking I only put it at #1 because I was so excited about there being a new REM album. Still one of their best, though.

Wezzo11/12/2008

I guess Accelerate couldn't stay at #1 forever.. ah well. Have you heard any more Springsteen recently?

WriterWill3711/12/2008

I haven't, but I definitely want to. Should get on downloading some...

Wezzo02/02/2009

I know we've discussed it elsewhere, but I'm really glad you enjoyed "Working On A Dream".

WriterWill3702/02/2009

Totally rockin' album. :)
