This might be peak White Stripes here. I prefer other albums but probably the peak of their popularity
Seven Nation Army has to be one of the best songs of the last 25 years
Ball and Biscuit and Hardest Button to Button are both great high energy songs…jack’s just spitting fire here
I had opinions that didn't matter
I had a brain that felt like pancake batter
I got a backyard with nothing in it
Except a stick, a dog, and a box with something in it
The slower stuff is great too. Cover of Burt Bacharach I Just Don’t Know What To Do With Myself although they kinda amp it up at the end
You’ve Got Her In Your Pocket is absolutely beautiful
The Air Near My Fingers is underrated, especially when he breaks into that chorus
Do-do do-do-do-do do-do do-do-do-do-do
Do-do do-do-do-do do-do do-do-do-do-do
hell even the song with Meg on vocals is great (in the cold cold night)
After looking at the track list again i might have underrated this one

I really have a distaste for poorly done psychedelia. If you didn't stick with me long enough, you might think that I don't like psychedelia at all. It's almost like KP and covers. But man, I really like this album, especially "Time Of The Season" and "This Will Be Our Year," which is my favorite because of the amount of times I've heard "Time. . .".
Saying I love this album alone wouldn't mean anything about psychedelia and me because I love The Zombies and Colin Blunstone's voice no matter what, but I also love some of the Byrds' stuff, and I really dig certain songs by the star-crossed Moby Grape. So it's not over for you and I yet, psychedelia! I might be coming when everybody's left the party, but we can listen to Panda Bear and grab a balloon for the get down!

Needed a coked-out wikkid as their A&R man. This is probably the worst choice to introduce an album I can remember. It's . . . well I don't dislike the song necessarily, but this is a poor choice. He chose poorly. How could you . . . ? How could you hear the album and go, "Yes! That's the one! Got us a winner!"
Sheesh.

The last three have been added. The first three were already there.
On the mobile app, if the playlist is set to “anyone can add songs” (which this one is), there should be an icon that says “Add +” when you click on the playlist. Hit that and type in the name of the song, then hit the plus sign next to the correct one.
There is no way to do this on the web interface. I don’t know what the deal is with the desktop app because I don’t have it.

This was my highest ranked u2 record (I had an album likely still to come here five spots lower). To make a direct comparison, while their monster 80s album has crazy high highs and a beastly Side 1, Side 2 is merely very good. Achtung Baby is super consistent, with no major rises or dips in quality. If I had to pick my favorite songs, they would be tracks 3, 4, 7, 10 and 12, which shows how all over the place favorites are from it.
I defy anyone to find a better bass guitar performance and sound than that by Chris Squire on this record. The whole band is on fire, but Squire is just absurd levels of awesome here.129 (tie). Fragile – Yes (181 points)

Fragile is the fourth studio album by the English progressive rock band Yes, released in the UK on 12 November 1971 and in the US on 4 January 1972 by Atlantic Records. It was the band's first album to feature keyboardist Rick Wakeman, who replaced Tony Kaye after the group had finished touring their breakthrough record, The Yes Album (1971).
The band entered rehearsals in London in August 1971, but Kaye's reluctance to play electronic keyboards led to his departure from the group. He was quickly replaced by Wakeman, whose virtuosity, compositional skills, and experience with the electric piano, organ, Mellotron, and Moog synthesiser expanded the band's sound. Due to budget and time constraints, four tracks on the album are group arrangements; the remaining five are short solo pieces by each band member. The opening track, "Roundabout", became a popular song. The artwork for the album was the band's first to be designed by Roger Dean, who would design many of their future covers.
While I agree with the bolded, the ones that don't (the Wakeman, Anderson and Bruford pieces) take up about four minutes of the entire record. The other 36 minutes is pure awesomeness. I do think Close to the Edge is a bit better and ranked it as such,

Kid A is the fourth studio album by the English rock band Radiohead, released on 2 October 2000 by Parlophone. It was recorded with their producer, Nigel Godrich, in Paris, Copenhagen, Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire. Departing from their earlier sound, Radiohead incorporated influences from electronic music, krautrock, jazz and 20th-century classical music, with a wider range of instruments and effects. The singer, Thom Yorke, wrote impersonal and abstract lyrics, cutting up phrases and assembling them at random.

I also heavily considered Morrison Hotel (which I mentioned because it’s already shown up), but this was the only album from The Doors that I ranked. I like a lot of their songs, but simply put, this is their album that feels the most complete to me.
I can’t find what was chosen (somewhere ~10 pages ago), but there are a lot of great choices. The classic “Riders on the Storm”, the equally well-known “Love Her Madly”, the smooth & catchy title track. Plus deeper cuts like “The Changeling”, “Crawling King Snake”, and “Been Down So Long”, the latter of which was the unofficial theme of watching the Detroit Lions for most of my life.

I voted for a different Radiohead album with my entry. It's a really highly ranked album on my list, and I don't think I'll get to write about it nor pick a song from it. I should have gone with Kid A after all.*
The song you all want is indeed "Everything In Its Right Place," by the way. "Idioteque" and then the "The National Anthem" round out the gold, silver, and bronze. Those are the three right off the bat in my head. "The National Anthem" has that live performance (I think it's on SNL) with the ondes Martenot that is seriously freaking sublime beyond words.
eta* I wouldn't change the album, actually. The one I voted for is just my favorite and there's nothing that has happened in twenty-two or so years to change that opinion.

#1 Record is the debut studio album by the American rock band Big Star. It was released on April 24, 1972, by Memphis-based Ardent Records.
Many critics praised the album's vocal harmonies and songcraft but #1 Record suffered from poor distribution and sold fewer than 10,000 copies upon its initial release. However, #1 Record gained wider attention in the late 1970s in the UK when EMI reissued it with Radio City as a double LP package due to increasing demand. The same combination was used when the album was released on CD in 1992. It is now widely-regarded as a seminal work in pop rock and power pop. In 2020 it was ranked number 474 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. Rolling Stone also ranked the song "Thirteen" as number 406 on its 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. It was voted number 188 in the third edition of Colin Larkin's All Time Top 1000 Albums (2000).

I am more on the side that it is a great album, especially songs like the one chosen, but because the songs got into my head via the live versions, I still rarely reach for it. I voted for 3 others, and depending on the day Kid A and Moon Shaped Pool battle it out for the 4th and 5th spot as to which is #4.

#1 Record is the debut studio album by the American rock band Big Star. It was released on April 24, 1972, by Memphis-based Ardent Records.
Many critics praised the album's vocal harmonies and songcraft but #1 Record suffered from poor distribution and sold fewer than 10,000 copies upon its initial release. However, #1 Record gained wider attention in the late 1970s in the UK when EMI reissued it with Radio City as a double LP package due to increasing demand. The same combination was used when the album was released on CD in 1992. It is now widely-regarded as a seminal work in pop rock and power pop. In 2020 it was ranked number 474 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. Rolling Stone also ranked the song "Thirteen" as number 406 on its 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. It was voted number 188 in the third edition of Colin Larkin's All Time Top 1000 Albums (2000).
Hey, I get to choose one! I wonder what I might choose...
I had a near-miss on Grace. I hope @ConstruxBoy chooses wisely.
My favorites are Last Goodbye and Lover, You Should've Come Over.

Wow, I thought for sure I’d be the top ranker on this one. Glad to see it in such high regard by others here. This album (EP) meant a lot to me during a pretty tough phase of my life.119 (tie). Jar of Flies – Alice in Chains (196 points)

Jar of Flies is the third studio EP by American rock band Alice in Chains. It was released on January 25, 1994, by Columbia Records. The band's second acoustic EP, after 1992's Sap, it was the first acoustic EP in music history to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, with the first week sales exceeding 141,000 copies in the United States. The self-produced record was written and recorded over the course of just one week at the London Bridge Studio in Seattle. The tracks "No Excuses", "I Stay Away" and "Don't Follow" were released as singles to promote the EP. Jar of Flies was nominated for two Grammy Awards in 1995: Best Recording Package and Best Hard Rock Performance for "I Stay Away".
Can’t go wrong with any song here, so I’m good with whatever Mt Man chooses.
