Yet Another Dumb Way to Pass Time - PDX (1991) vs Ryan (1992)
CURRENT MATCHUP: PDX (1991) vs Ryan (1992)
Alright, I was curious about something but rather than look it up I want to turn it into a question.
Part 1: Pick you favorite STUDIO album of all-time or the one that's most important to you. Don't do historically significant or "without Pet Sounds we wouldn't have ..." or any of those other considerations, just a singular favorite album you would hate to live without. Whenever I feel like there are enough answers to proceed, I will.

I'd say it was Achtung Baby! I was 17 when it came out, and I'm guessing age is important because that is the first album I was obsessive about, leading me to follow a band obsessively for almost 30 years (shit). And I still love the album and have probably listened to One more than any other song (that, that could be another topic -- most listened to song in your lifetime)

I..............I think Automatic for the People gets the nod for me.

I've said this at least a couple times before, most recently when I drafted it in the all-time album draft:
My avatar corresponds on my place in the Swamp posting list with the all-time Home Run list. Number 45 is Paul Konerko with 439.

I'm assuming anthologies/best of's are off limits.

Trying hard to come up with something different, but haven't really had enough time to scour my listening habits.

Correct. Would fuck up Part 2. Live albums will too, I guess, so maybe don't do that. I wish I'd said studio album in the original.

Or @bestalbum95 on twitter.
The standings are a bit behind. The Chronic beat Check Your Head, and is now taking on S&E (currently leading). REM beat out Tori Amos and is waiting for the winner in the championship.

If the Soundtrack to Once More With Feeling (Buffy) is off limits, then I'll go with Flood by They Might Be Giants.
And his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death.

Duff, Giff, and Steve all named albums that were massive for me at one point in my life. Thriller was in the running too, but I've gotta go with this as well, Mr. D.

Really sucks that the Flood live tour is postponed.

Summer Babe is a criminally underrated song. Because it should be the national anthem.

Please don't yell at me, but i started listening to this for the first time 20 minutes ago.
It's been a very good 20 minutes.

BFJ is the town wizard who runs a magic shop. He also has a golem that he has trained to attack anti-Semites.
Re: Yet Another Dumb Way to Pass Time (Music Related Again)
Bfj, that’s a good, albeit surprising, choice.

Re: Yet Another Dumb Way to Pass Time (Music Related Again)
Thanks. Surprising in general or surprising because it’s me? I was thinking of a classic rock album at first, but this record is one of those that still does it for me every single time it pops up on my iTunes. It is one of those records that I can remember exactly where I was the first time I heard it.

TLC's debut album. The songs on it are still so fresh in my head. I bet if one of you mentioned one I could hum it.
