When American Dream as a whole is just better? hehe.

But yes, Dance Yrself Clean is easily one of their top songs.

Agree to disagree. It’s close though haha 😉 .

hehe.

1. Sound of Silver
2. This Is Happening
3. American Dream
4. LCD Soundsystem
The first two are pretty close to each other, I'd even said not so long ago This Is Happening was my favorite record of theirs but one or two songs of Sound of Silver really grew on me recently.

I don’t know how people can humanly rank This Is Happening less than second when it opens with Dance Yrself Clean and it ends with Home.

Whining aside, who’s checked out the Electric Lady Session yet? I’m still in the process and it’s fucking great.

It's a LCD Soundsystem reference. First album I think.

1. Sound of Silver
2. This is Happening
3. LCD Soundsystem
4. American Dream

It's kind of arbitrary to rank these albums because they're all great.

I did a ranking not too long after American Dream came out and I feel like it hasn’t changed. Still no less hard to choose a favourite but I’ll omit the live albums.

4. 45:33 (Not traditionally considered a record but still incredibly valuable to their overall output)
3. LCD Soundsystem
2. American Dream
1. Sound of Silver/This Is Happening

My favourite LCD Soundsystem track isn’t by LCD Soundsystem. No-one rips off The Fall better than MES:

This is Happening was my go to LCD record for years. There's no better album to sum up my college years than that one. That being said, I think I'd put american dream ahead of it (hot take, I know).

1. american dream
2. This Is Happening
3. Sound of Silver
4. 45:33
5. Self Titled
6. London Sessions
7. Introns

Hell Yes.

Interestingly enough the first time I gave American Dream an 84 and now I love it at a 91.5.

Sound of Silver easily was my gateway drug.

Sound Of Silver LCD Soundsystem 2007 2 92.2
American Dream LCD Soundsystem 2017 91.5
This Is Happening LCD Soundsystem 2010 7 85
American Dream LCD Soundsystem 2017 84
LCD Soundsystem LCD Soundsystem 2005 8 81.2

I go back and forth on this all the time because as much as I like their last three albums they're all pretty flawed. All have some absolute monster songs and some pretty terrible songs. If I had to rank them, I'd go:

1. Sound of Silver
2. This is Happening
3. American Dream
4. LCD Soundsystem

The S/T is the only one I don't really care for. I'd say start with Sound of Silver; All My Friends is the greatest song ever written.

So I have only actively listened to the first half of the self-titled and Sound of Silver. The latter half of S/T, This Is Happening and American Dream have been played in the background with a few tracks actively listened to:

1. Sound of Silver
2. This is Happening
3. American Dream
4. S/T (Ironically, two of my top 5 favorite LCD songs — Daft Punk is Playing at My House and Losing My Edge — are on here)
