THEIR BEST ALBUM OR EP........

[whateverrrr]

I have to refute some things:

Weakerthans: Reconstruction Site

Pixies: Surfer Rosa

Xiu Xiu : Fabulous Muscles

Sonic Youth: Sister

Avail: Over the James

Beatles: Revolver.

Also,

Saves the Day: Stay What You Are

The Breeders: Pod

The Stooges: Fun House

Beck: Sea Change

Elliott Smith: Either/Or

Screeching Weasel: My Brain Hurts

Bob Dylan: Hwy 61 Revisited

You're totally right with Surfer Rosa, but I do have agree with Left & Leaving as far as the weakerthans are concerned.

Also, maybe it's nostalgia, but I'm such a sucker for Through With Being Cool. Since I was a little girl. I think I just like Saves the Day so much, I can't pick which one is best.

my own;

Les Savy Fav; Let's Stay Friends

Yes; Fragile

yeah yeah yeahs; fever to tell

the cure; head on the door

pixies; surfer rosa (i felt they deserved to be mentioned twice in this post)

aloha; sugar

grateful dead; american beauty

maritime; We, the Vehicles

radiohead; kid a

superchunk; superchunk/here's where the strings come in (i can't decide which I like best)

dude, Hot Water Music sure has better albums than the Leatherface split. Leatherface murders HWM on that album.

a few more:

Lucero "eight paces to jackson soundtrack" (for real. the S/T and Attic Tapes are good, but that's it.)

Off Minor "the heat death of the universe"

PlanesMistakenForStars "knife in the marathon"

Wolves "simulation.transparency.alienation."

Boy's Life "s/t"

Giants Chair "purity and control" (either the LP or 7")

Christie Front Drive/Sineater split (just cuz the CFD song is so strong)

Animal Collective "sung tongs"

Ampere "demo" or Wolves split

[scooterist136]

dude, Hot Water Music sure has better albums than the Leatherface split. Leatherface murders HWM on that album.

I really like the HWM side of the Leatherface Split. For me, it's some of the heaviest songs that HWM wrote. That split is all around good. The Ampere demo is amazing too but I just like 10" more.
