Both bands I like pretty well, but not for either of these albums. I gotta think about it I guess.

OK, thought about it. One Hold Steady album would kill this Sonic Youth album. But, about 5 Sonic Youth albums would destroy this Hold Steady album. Thus, on the basis on completely unrelated recordings, Sonic Youth breaks the tie with their other much better records.

I think SY and Fugazi are about the only two horses I have left in this race.

Great Hold Steady record which I still listen to on a regular basis versus the last good record SY put out, but I haven't listened to in at least a year...

HOLD STEADY

Murray Street is the best album in this whole competition. I would have voted HOLG STEAGY over most everything else though.
