Red Mosquito

My top five would be something like:

Hail, Hail
Animal
Faithfull
Last Exit
Brain of J.

Checking my last list I have no idea where Hail Hail went. It's in my top 25 for sure but not that list. What a fool.

J is top 10 and Animal has always been up there.

Alive
Corduroy
Porch
Last exit

Are my definite top 4. After that it's hard to say. Some combo of

Elderly woman
Immortality
Do the evolution
Yellow Ledbetter
Life wasted
World Wide suicide
Comatose

Probably

Would you say this is your Mt. Rushmore of PJ songs then?

I suppose I would

1. Go
Animal
Tremor Christ
Hail, Hail
Brain of J.

Only #1 is ranked.

Corduroy?

Interesting. Is AtB a sentimental pick?

It's a brilliant, beautiful, elite, classy pick is what it is.

I have no idea. I just goddamn love that tune.

Your top songs take a drastic dive after those top 4.

I do wonder if I would have had the same attatchment to those S/T songs had that record followed vitalogy

Haven't thought about a top 5 in a while,

Insignificance
Do The Evolution
Sleight of Hand
Last Exit
Go

Top 5?

Can't do it. Changes all the time.

Fucking goddamnit! I also left of Hail, Hail and No Way. Fuck me. Yeah, this is too goddamn difficult, team.

Elderly Woman
Corduroy
Last Exit
Light Years
Tremor Christ

Off the top of my head. I kinda want to put Red Mosquito in there...

I'm glad you put Light Years in there. It's on my top 10 for sure.

Sleight of Hand
Release
Immortality
I Got Shit
Do The Evolution

On topic - the worst album by quite a way, for me, is Avocado.

Life wasted - sounds like it's been recorded through a tin-can. And Eddie's "growl" is so forced and fake and grating...
WWS - this is passable - but too many lyrics and a bit plodding
Comatose - good live - embarrassing on record
Severed hand - the way he goes "i said - yyyyyeeeeeah" - like your dad singing at a wedding
Marker in the sand - fine
Parachutes - pretty enough b-side
Unemployable - fine
Big wave - fine - and when i say fine, i don't mean good. I mean - fine.
Gone - meandering wank
Wasted reprise - when this is the first actually interesting sounding track you know you're in trouble
Army reserve - at times, I like this one
Come back - Haters gonna hate, but i bloody love this song. Simple and beautiful. The only song on this album that would make it anywhere near a PJ compilation tape I'd make for someone, or a live setlist I'd want to hear...
Inside Job - an average song dressed up like it's stairway to heaven. it's fine I guess.

All other PJ records I would consider at the very least "good" - but this is a stinker.

And to add to the top 5 lists:

1. Hard to imagine
2. Corduroy
3. Chloe dancer/crown of thorns (can I count this?!?)
4. Black
5. Indifference

(6. Nothingman if I can't count crown of thorns...)
