I really like For Your Pleasure, and parts of that Springsteen album. Beyond that... meh.

Anothony Fantano praises you for your selection of Yellow House.

'06 for me too.

Off topic, but I've been trying to figure out what town on Cape Cod the "Yellow House" is in where they recorded that record and most of Shields. I go to the Cape every summer so it's just made me curious.

Now I can already predict 2006's team against 1979

I need to listen to that Grizzly Bear album some more and see if I can finally get what the hype is about. Have never really liked the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, I don't think I can acquire any ecstacy in Korea, which, along with hearing it at a rave or house party somewhere is probably what it would take for me to enjoy the Knife. Not familiar with the other ones. On the '73 side, that's one of Springsteen's best, most overlooked albums and of course, Band on the Run remains one of Macca's best. I need to check out early Roxy Music. I've never really explored their catalog. Angie is a great Rolling Stones ballad, but I'm not a Queen fan, sorry. Most likely '73 will get my vote.
