Good to know. I need an LP to rock out and another geared ‘for the fun of it’...

This draft at least has to go as long for someone to say "Fuck it, I'll take Coldplay".

I started to write up a different, older and much more popular group but couldn't pull the trigger. This adds more of a different sound and (to my knowledge) none of the members are massive, insufferable dickheads ...

I know nobody is going to take this album, but I don't want to leave it out of the cabin. Also, my youngest LOVES this record and sings along to every song with me. If you are a fan of Wilco/Uncle Tup/Drive By Truckers etc. I think you would enjoy this album also.

I love that album. Easily my favorite by them. I've seen the Bottle Rockets a couple times and they are a fun show. Did you know that Brian Henneman (leader of the Bottle Rockets) got his start as the guitar tech roadie for Uncle Tupelo? He also played all the lead guitar on the first Wilco album, "A.M."

Thanks. I did know that. I found out about them shortly after I found Uncle Tupelo.

I know they're Ivy, and prep, and Graceland derivative. I don't care. I love them. Pretty sure I love all their albums equally, but I'll take this one.

I saw Green Day, The Offspring, and Oasis go off this round, so I take it we’re at the spot where we take 90s albums that are popular and we just like. So here the album I probably had sex to the most during that era, the pinnacle of 90s girl groups:

I’d argue that’s absolutely the best VW album. The first two were like 70% good and 30% annoying and that one cleaned up the ratio.

I forgot my phone at home so I'm not able to see what's off the board so can you just let me know if these are off and if I have to re-pick? I'll go one at a time...

Yeah. And "Time in a Bottle" would be especially poignant if you somehow manage to swipe one of PDX's picks.

My friend dropped that cassette tape on the bus one day and another kid picked it up and yelled out, "Hey, someone lost a Jim Crotch tape" and I've pretty much been laughing about that continuously ever since.

No opinion on the music.

Mastodon, Leviathan. Moby Dick-themed concept album from the torchbearers of post-Tool progressive metal. (And inspiration for my largest visible tattoo.)

Underworld, Dubnobasswithmyheadman. This draft be sorely lacking in electronic.

I'm pretty heavy on Soul, but this guy's too good to stay unselected. While more people might like I'm Still in Love With You, I'm going to go with his first of his two albums he released in 1972.

IMO, you really don't want to be stuck with an album forever when repeated listens proves your attraction was merely infatuation and not love.

It has to stand the test of time.
