I have been listening to Lungfish for the last three days on my ipod…. rainbows for atoms wow.
I will meditate on your selections further… thank you for sharing this list I know how hard it is.

Has anyone read Nick Hornbys High Fidelity? Great book and great read for some “Top Lists” such as this…and relationships I guess.
And I will be giving this Lungfish some listening time now.
Lepidogalaxias salamandroides, apparently.

Hemo: I am not sure but I think my favorite lungfish album is artificial horizons, but in reality their best album is probably love is love. But then again my bro thinks its rainbows for atoms…..
The guitarist is Asa Osborne who is now in another band called zumes (i think). I heard a story about how he saw the lead singer in that band get punched in the mouth and lose a tooth. He picked up the tooth up and has been using it as a guitar pick for the last three years.

When I was 20 which was more years ago than less, I shared two of your picks: Beatles White, and Ziggy. Those along with others like the Stones Exile on Main St. and the Who’s Quadrophenia were at the forefront of what I was certain would remain my musical “core” for life. As it turns out, these albums provided a wonderful foundation and I still appreciate them from time to time, but none remain in my “top 10″. And that’s a good thing because flux = rad.

Flux = Rad should have been the name of this site.

Nice call on the nine slot – saw Steely Dan in Montreal last year (Jazz Festival).

Ummm… I’m pretty sure that Canadians aren’t allowed on this site.

It’s ok- despite the fact that he would lead us to believe otherwise, “The Canadian” is actually a Columbian.

The Lonesome Crowded West… are you kidding me? That album kept me alive for two years. Sad, funny, fast, slow.. Leone Westerns mixed with David Lynch…radicand…

re: M Pailes, I think its more true that you never knew you were alive until you heard Lonesome Crowd. That is my truth anyway.
The juxtaposition of lonesome and crowded encapsulates almost the entirety of my present existence.

Of course Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain is phenomenal but my fav by Pav will always be Brighten The Corners. I think it was because I listened to it in summer ’98 while watching World Cup soccer games, training for NCAA soccer, lifeguarding swimmers, fighting with my girlfriend in our cabin in a huge clearing in the forest, and of course, eating mushrooms and counting seventy two trillion stars. The camp was across the street from where mass murders had occurred like seven years before. Malkmus interspersing “career” with “Korea” makes me want to simultaneously cry with joy and punch him in the mouth for being so damned clever… Good list, but you really can’t get enough of Hendrix? Really? Hmmm…

Not when there are 17 tracks of an album that are ALL equally great!!
