Interpol, I'm not much of a Hold Steady guy.

Two different records that meant two different things to me at two different times of my life. Tough one, and I'm gonna wait to choose.

As much as I like that Interpol, beer and riff rock usually wins out with me in the end.

Very difficult pairing, but I love that Interpol, while I just like that Hold Steady very much.

Ouch. I'd go Hold Steady over almost any other album left besides that first Interpol album.

Yeah, this poll tears any pretense at musical taste around here. I wish you would all eat shit and die.

They gave us oranges and cigarettes. Not their best but I like that tune. Dave Pirner as the scumbag who makes out with the girl? Nice touch IMO.

Plus, I love these lyrics:

She looked just like a baby bird, all new and wet and trying to light a Parliament
He quoted her some poetry, he's Tennyson in denim and sheepskin
He looked a lot like Izzy Stradlin
They started kissing when the nurses took off their IVs
It was kinda sexy, but it was kinda creepy
Their mouths were fizzy with the cherry cola
They had the privacy of bedsheets
And all the other kids were mostly in comas
