Pretty good list. These were in my top 20, if I am remembering correctly.

I got Lucero late last year, but even with more listens, it prob wouldn't get into my top 20. Decent album though. It's my first exposure to the band.

My skills as a lover have nothing to do with my musical taste. Oh well.

Great list Guap. We share several from your Top Tier as well as your honorable mentions. BTW - I completely forgot about 'Fort Recovery' which has a few standout tracks. I've only been listening to the Hold Steady record for a month or so and it keeps getting better and better. I have a feeling it would've charted much higher.

It really grew on me a lot over time, enough so that it still gets nearly a daily play, and always twice on Fridays.
