Where the hell is the Miseducation of Lauryn Hill?

[Kneel B4 Zod]

I owned 0 of these albums 7 months ago, and now have probably 25 (plus many other releases by the same artists) b/c of OOT recommendations.

What is so good about this Wilco album anyhow? Everybody puts it on their 10 best list or whatever. I just cant get into it.

You all are missing the top 5 albums of all time. Simple oversight by everyone I'm sure.

5. Live from Texas - Linkin Park
4. Collision Course - Linkin Park
3. Reanimation - Linkin Park
2. Meteora - Linkin Park
1. Hybrid Theory - Linkin Park

I think Antics > Turn on the Bright Lights. Can't really go wrong with either IMO. Nice to see The Avalanches make one of the lists... sick album.

Great lists and thanks for posting.

Reasonable Doubt is slightly better then The Blueprint, IMO. Both very good albums, though.

It's funny, the other day I was listening to Turn on the Bright Lights and was wondering if I was the only one who liked Antics more than Turn on the Bright Lights. Don't get me wrong, TOTBL is great, but sometimes it can get a little too dark for my tastes. And some of the tracks don't match up with the truly great songs like Stella and The New.

Antics has some really great songs. The last five tracks I think are all standout including the closer A Time To Be So Small. I think I like this album more because it retains the catchiness, but is just slightly more upbeat than Turn On the Bright Lights.

Mark - that's a good summary of what I think also, but yeah, both are great albums.

2nded - no Flaming Lips?

Perhaps not deserving a Top 25 best of the past 10 years, but Aimee Mann's Bachelor No. 2 is a great album.

Fantastic Planet is a good album but it goes on... . and on.... and on. I would take either of the first two Hum albums ahead of it, and I'm not sure those will even make my list.

It's going to be hard for me to make this list because I'm old before my time, but I'll get one together.
