Neon Bible. The latter having clear supremecy in my mind with the exception of "No Cars Go." I love that song, but it didn't seem to fit well on this album.<br />This band is such a great talent -- and influence on the modern music landscape -- I feel both albums are worthy of high rankings. I'm not so sure that the relegation of Neon is due strictly to its young age ...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7905994214521075140.post-60804043376270568412009-12-22T07:49:31.808-08:002009-12-22T07:49:31.808-08:00I'm glad to see that the two songs you linked ...I'm glad to see that the two songs you linked to for Neon Bible are No Cars Go and Intervention -- the two best songs on the album. Unlike Funeral, I don't like this album in its entirety. In fact, I think it'd make one of the greatest EPs in history: Keep the Car Running, Neon Bible, Intervention, No Cars Go and (Antichrist Television Blues).<br /><br />American Idiot shows range and rage that works.WMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14735722504435839639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7905994214521075140.post-10878744827927660022009-12-21T16:45:01.835-08:002009-12-21T16:45:01.835-08:00Chris - By now you probably know where American Id...Chris - By now you probably know where <i>American Idiot</i> ranks on my list. But I'm just one of seven, and the consensus picks don't always fall the way individual raters would like (<i>Hail to the Chief</i>, e.g.).<br /><br />Thanks for following along.<br /><br />P.S. - Which do you consider the "hipster" albums. I'd say <i>Fleet Foxes</i> and possibly <i>Oracular Spectacular</i>. Others?Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03359624900128501794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7905994214521075140.post-20257180518107451232009-12-21T07:15:20.078-08:002009-12-21T07:15:20.078-08:00You people and your hipster music.

Good...You people and your hipster music. Pffft. <br /><br />Good job putting Stankonia ahead of the double album, though, and I'd put Green Day higher, but we'll see where the Top Ten go first.cdorsohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11621985996091259380noreply@blogger.com
