Nah, I thought this was a Dead (or Phish?) thing.
As EnochRoot stated they did more back in the day, now if they do at all it's so Fishman (the drummer) to sing and Trey (the guitarist) (who was the drummer in the original formation of the band) switch. They don't do any of that cool stuff anymore.
The Dead only did it once that I know of, an April Fools thing that wasn't good.

I'd start with Keep It Like a Secret ('99), then probably go to There's Nothing Wrong With Love ('94), then The Normal Years ('96)(B-sides and outtakes album to get you ready for Perfect from Now On ('97), then Ancient Melodies of the Future ('01). If you're still around through all that, I'd go to the newer stuff which is all good, but can be hit or miss, depending on the song. You Were Right is fantastic (love the callback lyrics), but Else is amazing. It's such a Doug Martsch love song.

Let me know if one of those are taken. I didn't see them in a quick scroll on my phone.

Yeah, good one. I considered it, too. (And, Tuesday Weld looks luscious on the cover.)
According to Wikipedia, she was asked permission for the pic, and her approval was granted upon the condition they change the LP title from 'Nothing Lasts'.
It wound up being "Girlfriend"...Wasn't there an alt-take called "Goodfriend"?
I know Super Deformed played into Altered Beast. Holy crap what a fun rabbit hole.
Fucking aural assault from the stacks. Richard Lloyd (Television) Robert Quine (Lou Reed, Voidods) and Lloyd Cole.
I freakin loved this disc in college. His whole discography really up through Blue Sky, really. Dark horse to this one would've been Altered Beast.
Glad you approve. I like Altered Beast a lot, but Girlfriend is just one of those records that brings back memories for me that make me smile. Solid from the first track to the last.

Over the years I've probably spent a car payment on Matthew Sweet into the jukebox.
The track 'Girlfriend' is actually ripe to be covered. Dunno why but...Yeah. Call it..Divine inter (oh shut up)...(o;
I would be waiting until atleast the next round if not for the stupid "Companion" thread mentioning this dude for the first time here in 2 years. I almost never listen to this album alone without either following or shuffling it with Day I Forgot, but "Murray" is the best song on either and this is stronger overall ...
(I have no doubt I'm going to lose my projected pick here and throw a tantrum. Thanks Rass!)

I knew this one would bug you. My second pick might have bugged you too...curious to see.
This was the one I was debating on with my last pick and had a chance to make my pick a day earlier, I would've taken it since it was its birthday.
well this is gonna be someone's new signature - bronto
I don't know how many picks until I am up, but I gotta say I'm gonna be reaching from this point on. Trying to figure out which Warrant album I like best...
You know what you need? A lyrical sucker punch to the face.

Shouldn't have sat on Smith and/or Buckley such that they got picked within a few picks of each other and reminded me of that pre-song intro that I posted.

Shit. I honestly thought this was off the board. I'm trying to figure out why and I think I somehow conflated this with Sugar's Copper Blue album... I have a very weird brain.

Whoa.

Pretty much just favorite album picks from here on out.
I love this band. I love all their albums (maybe except Evermotion, that was a strange last gasp) but I've bounced around and listened to a lot of them and I think this is my favorite.
Guster - Keep It Together
(Lost and Gone Forever and Ganging Up on the Sun were right there...)

Hell of an album. Reminds me a lot of my wife and I first dating.
Until everything is less insane, I'm mixing weed with wine.
I've moved so far away from rap and hip-hop that sometimes I forget I grew up listening to the Electrifying Mojo on WAAM (later the much larger Detroit station), listening to Kraftwerk and a whole host of groups that shaped my early years.
This album is another in my cabin that was hugely influential, but flies under the radar for many folks. Powerful and also a bit tragic in terms of what happened to one of the leaders of the group after the album was released. NLFC is proud to add this album to its stable:
Boogie Down Productions - Criminal Minded
