Richard Hell.

Interesting group, though. Hate to vote against Miles and Can, and PFNO is my favorite Built to Spill.

One thing we can agree on.

Richard Hell. It's Robert Quine's premier tour de force!
Although I do love that Built to Spill album, too. I really probably should know the Miles record, but I've never heard it.

Once I voted, I was surprised to see that it is so far ahead of the rest -- in particular In a Silent Way (despite my above admission).

It's hard to pick your favorite album if you haven't heard them all.

In a Silent Way is really better than 99.9% of all the choices in all the groups.

1. I respect your taste, your opinions, as much or more than anyone on Obner.
2. This (not liking Miles) is, of course, absolute lunacy.
3. Doesn't surprise me.
