Belle and Sebastian are just about the greatest ever. And they received our prestigious Lifetime Acheivement Award earlier this year, so that says it all. _________________ -Ryan
I don't really see a point in ranking both Lazy Line Painter and Push Barman, since one essentially contains the other with additional tracks. In fact, not sure why people would place Lazy Line Painter over Push Barman. Push Barman gives you a bunch of solid additional tracks on top of everything contained in the other.
I made a top 5 on this site about them, among others.
It goes like this, studio albums only:
1. If you're feeling sinister
2. The boy with the Arab strap
3. The life pursuit
4. Fold your hands...
5. Storytelling
Then,
6. Tiger milk
7. ... write about love
8. Dear catastrophe waitress
1. Tigermilk
2. If You're Feeling Sinister
3. Push Barman to Open Old Wounds
4.The Boy With the Arab Strap
5. Dear Catastrophe Waitress
6. The Life Pursuit
7. Fold Your Hands Child, You Walk Like a Peasant
8. Write About Love
9. The Third Eye Centre
10. Storytelling
It's impossible to choose my favourite songs but I should try...
1. If You're Feeling Sinister
2. The State I Am In
3. Expectation
4. The Loneliness of a Middle Distance Runner
5. Sleep the Clock Around _________________ If you're feeling sinister, Go off and Listen to Indie Pop

I understand what you're saying, but don't you prefer albums which are full of songs you adore to albums which contain a few tracks you really don't like very much? By your logic, everybody with any of the first four Pavement albums on their chart should replace them with the two-disc reissues, since they give you a bunch of solid additional tracks on top of everything contained in the original albums.
Not to mention the fact that Lazy Line Painter Jane plays like an actual album, with those 1997 EPs all having an extremely similar sound, similar themes, and even recurring characters (the same Sebastian who "wrote in his diary that he would never be young again", in the song 'Belle & Sebastian', finally has "a story worth talking about" on album closer 'Put the Book Back on the Shelf'). That cohesion and unity is torn apart by the inclusion of the singles released in 2000-2001, which have a completely different vibe to them and feel totally out of place.
But yes, I'm not sure why anybody would place Lazy Line Painter Jane over Push Barman either.
Anyway, my ranking:
1. Lazy Line Painter Jane
2. If You're Feeling Sinister
3. Tigermilk
4. Dear Catastrophe Waitress
-----> Push Barman
5. Fold Your Hands Child, You Walk Like a Peasant
6. The Boy with the Arab Strap
7. The Life Pursuit
8. The Third Eye Centre
9. Write About Love
10. Storytelling
