He's not the only one - I also have New Miserable Experience in my list, as do a number of others.

Nice to see another vote for the album I consider the best all time, Chrome.

A mostly strong list. I can't believe anyone would include "New Miserable Experience" on their list of best or favorites (and this coming from a person who loves to play "Hey Jealousy" on his guitar) but hey, it's your right.
