Nice thread DayStar, you should fit in nicely around here. You have taken over my spot since I quit (not really). We share similar taste in music as you can see by my list.

The Boo Radleys are the only band deserving of two spots. With Find Your Way Out the Anthology collection coming out on May 23, I would exchange that with Giant Steps. That way I still get the majority of that but get a whole lot of other goodies and an extra CD to boot. I still would bring Kingsize because it would be(e) under represented on FYWO and is a perfect album anyways.

1. The Boo Radleys – Giant Steps
2. The Boo Radleys – Kingsize
3. The Cure – Disintegration
4. The Beatles – Abbey Road
5. The Rolling Stones – Beggars Banquet
6. The Velvet Underground & Nico – The VU & Nico
7. The Byrds – Younger Than Yesterday
8. The Stone Roses – The Stone Roses
9. The Delgados – The Great Eastern
10. The White Stripes – White Blood Cells
11. Pulp – Greatest Hits (even if I don’t own it)
12. Super Furry Animals – Songbook, Vol. 1: The Singles (even if I don’t own it)
13. Verve – A Northern Soul (I will never add The to their name, screw Verve the label)
14. Wilco – Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
15. Spiritualized – Ladies and Gentleman We Are Floating In Space
16. Sparklehorse – Good Morning Spider
17. Radiohead – OK Computer
18. Bright Eyes – LIFTED or The Story Is…
19. Pavement – Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain
20. Built To Spill – Perfect From Now On

If I looked thru my record collection it would be a bit different.

np: Sparklehorse – Vivad…

I would probably have to find a place for Sun Kil Moon in there somewhere, to update this list accordingly. I think #13 sounds about right, so let's move the rest down a spot. Sorry about that, Stewart Copeland!
