[epilogue]

Man, Stip, you really don't like Hitchhiker.

[epilogue]

First, Ruddo is going to be pissed. Second, what the hell do you have against Gods' Dice, Joey?

I've just never liked it. The whole thing rubs me the wrong way. Don't like the feel of it. Don't like the lyrics. Don't like the way Ed sings it. Don't like the melody.

How are you feeling about your over all list after most of the day? You thinking you will tweak it at all? i feel like when Im done with mine ill want to move a bit around here and there

Right now I'm feeling pretty good. I want to see what a good night's sleep does. Tomorrow I'll reevalute and see if anything's changed.

I don't think i can get done with this tonight, so ill think on what I've finished, but still won't know about any changes till Im done with it all.

Thanks for the idea for this, its been fun, I've never tried to do anymore then to make a top 10

[stip]

I may take a look and move some things around. These were spur of the moment calls that may not sit right in the morning.

It may also depend on how i want to balance long term loyalty to a song vs. current enjoyment, or how 'good' I think a song is vs. how much I like it (I think Sleight of Hand is better than my ranking, for instance)

[epilogue]

'good' I think a song is vs. how much I like it (I think Sleight of Hand is better than my ranking, for instance)

This is one of the big things I keep struggling with.

[Birds in Hell]

Okay, bearing in mind my reservations about how representative this will be of what I enjoy about the band, I admit I'm curious in seeing how different (or similar) my list ends up being to Joey's, stip's, Doc's, etc.

So, fine, I'm in.

Why did I start doing this? This was a terrible idea. It's hard for me to see the Matt Cameron years of the band on the same continuum as the earlier records, I think I'd find it easier to rank them separately. But oh well.
