Dookie -- Tremendous fun, and still their best IMO. Longview continues to be a worm in my ear to this day.
Sublime -- The merits of the music aside, I associate them with fratboy douches, and thus never gave them much consideration beyond their hits. Too much other stuff out there.
Kraftwerk -- Not the kind of stuff I listen to regularly, but cool as shit.
Uprising -- Bob being Bob. Could You Be Loved is probably my favorite song of his.
Urban Hymns -- As with OK Computer, I find this record totally brilliant but extremely dense, something that takes an effort to appreciate. So, I haven't listened to it in a long time.
The Chronic -- See Kraftwerk.
Ritual -- There was nothing quite like Jane's back in the day. I find Ritual a little uneven, but if we had a '90s song draft, "Three Days" might be third on my list after Smells Like Teen Spirit and Jesus Christ Pose.Originally posted by Kevin SeitzerWe pinch ran for Altuve specifically to screw over Mith's fantasy team.

There isn't a consensus about Costello albums -- different stripes of fanboy have different preferences. There are 4 or 5 of his that make a legit case for being the first of his to be picked. So, depth = no urgency.Originally posted by Kevin SeitzerWe pinch ran for Altuve specifically to screw over Mith's fantasy team.

Originally posted by eldiablo505It's actually not the "best" Jane's album, imo, but it's easily the most meaningful for me. I prefer another album to that one but I came across Ritual first and it was life changing. I then went back to all the others after discovering Ritual.Originally posted by Kevin SeitzerWe pinch ran for Altuve specifically to screw over Mith's fantasy team.

I go to dinner and come back to some great picks and commentary. Every pick was on my list. Ritual and Chronic were pretty high up. I took Chronic in the soul/funk/r&b draft. Tell your wives this is our book club.If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

I think El Diablo is starting to work from my list...Ritual was a painful loss.
But in truth I kind of feigned pain at Surfer Rosa and Doolittle being taken. It sucked, but not really, because Trompe le Monde was still available...which is my favorite.
And now it's not. Crap on a cracker. Pick up once I figure out what the hell to take.Considering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?
