I agree. I have 1 higher, but probably not the one most do.But still not their best albumAh. the much better RH output froom the 21st century.

Another band I knew of but not sure I ever really listened to them. Peace dog is a cool song. This album feels like sort of a nexus between early 80s punk with more haunting vocals and melodies like the misfits and the glam references above and a bit of a precursor of the grunge and early alternative sound. Cool stuff.
I could have sworn that this dude was big among a bunch of people in college, but if it was really released in 2002, then I don’t know if that could be true, as I graduated just before that. Now it’s kind of driving me crazy trying to think of who I actually think of when I think of Damien rice. That late 90s/early 00s was really the heyday for this kind of singer/songwriter coffeehouse stuff that a lot of people were into. Cannonball is definitely a song that I know. Really nice album.
A few of their big hits were written by a Beatle.
The album of Kid A rejects?But still not their best albumAh. the much better RH output froom the 21st century.
I forget what their best album and songs are. I’m cursed. Must be Egyptian or something.
That is quite the mix
I'll do a more complete write-up eventually, but here's my rankings from my Alice in Chains M-AD Countdown:119 (tie). Jar of Flies – Alice in Chains (196 points)

I’d like to think the songs compiled on Amnesiac were similar in iciness, structure, and sound to Kid A but they didn’t fit into its admittedly difficult vision of societal discordance. Not that they’re sunny, but something glints off of the steel that is Amnesiac and it blinds Kid A like unvarnished truth.The album of Kid A rejects?But still not their best albumAh. the much better RH output froom the 21st century.

Yeah I have a hard time committing to a certain artist or genre
Paul McCartney wrote one song, which was the hit "Come and Get It." No other Beatle wrote a song for them, but George Harrison produced some of Straight Up, and played guitar on a song on the album. John Lennon helped come up with their name Badfinger. Badfinger played on Ringo's song "It Don't Come Easy." Pete Hamm of Badfinger wrote their hits "Day After Day", "No Matter What", and "Baby Blue". Pete Hamm and Tom Evans (also of Badfinger) wrote "Without You."
I am a bit the opposite. I listen to a bunch of different stuff, but not mixed in a playlist like that. Mostly albums and artists based on mood at the time or what sounds interesting.
In the pool enjoying that overcast day we’re having
It’s probably worth it, though for me, it is pretty hit or miss. The songs that I do like, I really like. I probably like the songs by The Smile more consistently than radiohead.
band name that is a homophone of a super popular classic British band?
The album features 2 or 3 of my favorite songs of theirs. Pyramid Song was the #2 on the 31 I put together, for example. Unfortunately it also features a couple of my least favorites that i skip most of the time. Its not an album i can play start to finish, so it finds itself at the bottom of my rankings.The album of Kid A rejects?But still not their best albumAh. the much better RH output froom the 21st century.

I just feel like I might be missing out on some good instrumental work though
Sorry, I thought George wrote one as well - guess I confused it with what you said.
All I need, ftw
I think his voice sounds great and the music is haunting on tracks like Codex too. That is a tune that can choke me up. So beautiful.
So glad this album made the cut. I disagree about the inconsistency.
I like Bad and the title track better live than studio.
That might be my same order, No Excuses vs I Stay Away probably depends on my mood, but otherwise that's it. Looks like Don't Follow it is!I'll do a more complete write-up eventually, but here's my rankings from my Alice in Chains M-AD Countdown:119 (tie). Jar of Flies – Alice in Chains (196 points)

#25 Rotten Apple
So I'd naturally lean towards "Don't Follow", but there isn't a bad choice. Yo Mama's said it's my call, but I can see if Mac (or landry) have thoughts.
My 2nd favorite album but Bad is my favorite song........
Bad live from WAIA is my favorite U2 song.I like Bad and the title track better live than studio.
David gray is who I’m thinking of, I think. Now everyone can rest easy.
Such a fantastic song. Great choice.That might be my same order, No Excuses vs I Stay Away probably depends on my mood, but otherwise that's it.

Hey, @AAABatteries , why aren't you in this thingy? From previous music drafts, I know I dig your taste in music - we could have helped each other get stuff on the main list!
Excellent choice. My favorite by him. I think my first introduction to Zevon was when he performed that in his farewell performance on Letterman.We'll pick Roland The Headless Thompson Gunner.123. Excitable Boy – Warren Zevon (192 points)

Darnit, I forgot Superunknown! This should so be on my list.
Hey, wait a minute! Maybe nobody will notice!!! Ahem -
Greetings! I totally voted for this album! My playlist recommendation since KP is down for the count is: Spoonman
Surely nobody noticed.
I don’t think I listened to it when it first came out or even really knew who he was when he died (but I think I was still in high school). Probably heard his “Hallelujah” at that point, but that was it. I think I really started listening to it after going through Nina Simone’s stuff and loving her “Lilac Wine,” which led me to Buckley’s version and Grace.
Spoonman = the #1 ranked Worlds Worst Superhero

It's also fitting. As I listened today i was thinking that Soundgarden is a rare band for me in that their hits don't get old for me. Other bands i seem to stray from the radio hits, but I was still cranking Spoonman and Black Hole Sun.Spoonman = the #1 ranked Worlds Worst Superhero

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.

1984 (stylized in Roman numerals as MCMLXXXIV) is the sixth studio album by American rock band Van Halen, released on January 9, 1984, by Warner Bros. Records. It was the next to last Van Halen studio album until A Different Kind of Truth (2012) to feature lead singer David Lee Roth, who left the band in 1985 following creative differences. This is the final full-length album to feature all four original members (the Van Halen brothers Eddie and Alex, Roth, and Michael Anthony). 1984 and Van Halen's self-titled debut album are the band's best-selling albums, each having sold more than 10 million copies in the United States
