we have such a bizarre staff. some of the artist's choices are good.

Tie: Thelonious Monk Quartet With John Coltrane, "At Carnegie Hall" (Blue Note/Thelonious Records) and Queens Of The Stone Age, "Lullabies To Paralyze" (Interscope)

ha.

Yeah, that tie rules.

i know, right? wtf. we just don't have enough people working here to make a coherent, tie-less top 10. our voting method is kinda silly, imo.

3. Scott Stapp, "The Great Divide" (Wind-Up). A voice and music that captures the essence of rock'n'roll.

Jesus. Fucking. Tits.

I know it's just a legal person, not a critic, but still.

hey, it's the ESSENCE of rock'n'roll. don't fuh with it!

Why does Scott Stapp continue to exist?

Hmph. Y'all have the same #1 as me.

Also, I enjoy the reviews in your personal list, Katie. Concise.

So which Katie are you? One looks more like they belong on obner, the other doesn't...

i say the same about mariah carey.

There are 14 discs on it. Shouldn't there only be 10?

Common - Be and Spoon are the only good discs on it.

Shock value.

In reality, the only albums that couldnt possibly have a spot on this list are the Mariah and John Legend albums. The rest all have valid places (even the Jack Johnson could reasonably be in someone's top ten)

I was surprised that the list was as decent as it was, honestly.

i'm the katie that spells her name katie and not katy.

yeh, i don't know why people listed stapp. at least he didn't make the big list.

we should have limited it to only 10 discs. we're cheating it ain't right.

i love digging through peoples' individual lists. i don't know if mine's gonna change by '06, its very possible because i'm starting to feel bad about common, andrew bird, black mountain, etc.

i think that "veneer" is a few years old.

I'm surprised how much I like some of Carrie Brownstein's selections given I'm not a fan at all of Sleater Kinney. She's a fan of Bill Fay and Judee Sill. Who'd have thunk it?

I think you should ban her Haq

KATIE HASTY DOESN'T CARE ABOUT BLACK PEOPLE

Reading some of the comments from the staff is painful. Katie excluded of course.

it saw its u.s. release this year. but you're right, it was available by import for two or three year now.

AND WHINEY YOU COULDN'T BE MORE RIGHT. see you in p&j, home slice.

I like how Katy lists Nine Inch Nails twice on her list and throws some singles on it instead of albums.

Beck has some cool choices, and I definitely understand how he would enjoy Jamie Lidell enough to make Multiply #2 on his list. They'd make good touring partners.

we don't ban, we excommunicate.

and done.

bastids

Nice list. Tom Vek sits at the same place on my list.

Yo, Esh..... check #10.

Ah, online romance, once bloomed, has withered from lack of sunlight.

Make-up sex in 101...100...99...98...
