Nothing As It Seems is not ranked anywhere near high enough.

Shit, I forgot Undone. I fucking love that song.

i cant rank but 10 songs:

Parachutes
sleight of hand
nothing as it seems
grievance
insignificance
all or none
cropduster
sad
fatal
of the girl

My top 10 would include these songs but I don't want to rank:
Light Years, Man Of The Hour, Sleight Of Hand, Cropduster, Help Help, Sad, Undone, Fatal, Grievance, Rival

Yellow Moon might make it. I don't know.

10. Light Years
9. Unemployable
8. Insignificance
7. Otherside
6. Life Wasted
5. Parting Ways
4. Sleight of Hand
3. All or None
2. Grievance
1. Marker In The Sand

I think it's totally appropriate to do a "after-2000" list. It's impossible to compete with a time period when people first fall in love with a band and are going through a certain honeymoon phase and when they are going through their own coming of age (high school and college). Like comparing year 4 with a girlfriend after that "hot and heavy" period when you first met.

Yeah I've always wanted to see people's top ten lists for just S/T, Backspacer, and now LB. But you'll never catch me creating a ranking thread so...

Most, if not all, of Binaural was written and recorded in the 1990s. It makes a difference to me.

In no order:

Sad
Insignificance
Sleight of hand
Fatal
Of the girl
Nothing as it seems
Parting ways
Can't keep
Strangest tribe
Last soldier


Runners up include greivance, Otherwise, man of the hour, help help, cold confession, cropduster.....this was too hard.

10. Help,Help
9. World Wide Suicide
8. The End
7. Parting Ways
6. Cold Confession
5. I Am Mine
4. Sad
3. Of The Girl

All of these are at least 18,000 Dicks on the 20,000 Bags of Dicks scale.
