Comments
I agree. It's like choosing The Bartlebees over Pavement. I'm sorry I clicked here.
I'm also trouble to see The Trucks as high as #7, considering the album has two listenable, decent tracks ("Zombie," "Titties") and too many other really, really terrible ones that sound like Taylor Dayne after a few quarters at Evergreen.
Zow! Thanks for posting a link -- we're honored (I was just here admiring your new website and was pleasantly surprised).
And h0ratiosanzserif -- "...sound like Taylor Dayne after a few quarters at Evergreen" just made me spew hot tea all over my monitor with laughter. Even tho I heart the Trucks.
Not to be a Mass Line wagon-hopper, but Common Market at 42?! Have you even listened to it?
Yeah, I think the Common Market cd is lame. It's completely watered down / over produced, and nothing at all like their live show. RA raps the same on EVERY song. But they're great live.

Boat? #1?
