This is tough cuz I do consider Tim one of the greatest achievements in rock history. And Rain Dogs is same level stuff. And the '85 singles are a bit better than the '69 singles. But I could do without that Foetus album, and I have never been a fan of the smiths. But Fall group is a cool group, so that's something.
As for those 69 albums, I was laughing because I was scrolling and I was saying after Let It Bleed "hard to top that", then that Neil Young record did top it, then I said the same thing internally and of course "In A Silent Way" topped it AGAIN! Stellar as it gets on the albums.
Okay, then I was definitely leaning '85. Then I saw you recycled "Running Up That Hill" one week after using Hounds of Love LP. That put me off. But still considering the albums on '85 are only just barely a notch below '69, and the singles feature Pogues and Metallica, so even disregarding that Kate Bush, I'm leaning '85 here.
Still, I wouldn't recommend recycling singles from already used albums. _________________ -Ryan
Both the best singles on that 1985 team are recycled from previously used albums, so even though I prefer 1985's albums (The Fall! The Smiths! The Replacements! Tom Waits!), I'm likely gonna vote 1969 here (stellar singles, uneven album selection). Shame. _________________ 2021 in full effect. Come drop me some recs. Y'all know what I like.
Is there a rule that I am not allowed to use singles from albums? I might have missed that.
It's a personal choice, I lobbied for it to be a rule right off the bat that one can't recycle and thought it was set but turned out not so, I donno I guess some (including myself) find it rather cheap to re-use singles from albums cause it's basically a way to double-dip your most popular albums/artists, but no there's no rule against and it's perfectly legal to do so. Just be warned it could cost you some votes if you do choose to recycle.
