This is one I really enjoy too but not a popular one with many others. Three great songs as far as I'm concerned.

If we're talking S/T, Parachutes/Unemployable/Big Wave is the strongest stretch of songs on the record for me.

You ruined it with Big Wave, buddy.

I think they have several truly classic albums. It's just that there aren't 3 5 star song runs on many of them.

Big Wave is underrated. But it did take me a long, long time to appreciate it for what it is.

It's OK. The music is certainly interesting. It's not part of any favourite 3-song punch of mine, though.

Spoiler: show

It's better than The Fixer.

Big Wave is FAR better than The Fixer.

this is incorrect, the thing that you just said.

outside of stip, who could write a book on it, im not sure this is debatable.

Come on, guys. The lyrics are horrible, but The Fixer is a pretty cool tune.

Not for You
Tremor Christ
Nothingman

Who You Are/In My Tree/Smile is my current favorite

Who You Are
In My Tree

Agreed. And I don't hate Fixer, I just don't like it.

Don't agree that there aren't great three song runs.

Black - Jeremy - Once

Go - Animal - Daughter

Not For You - Tremor Christ - Nothingman

In My Tree - Smile - Off He Goes

Faithful - No Way - Given to Fly

Grievance - Rival - Sleight of Hand

I Am Mine - Thumbing My Way - You Are

Severed Hand - Marker - Parachutes

Just Breathe - Amongst the Waves - Unthought Known

I'll play the best 3 song run on each album game!

Alive--Why Go--Black

Go-Animal-Daughter

Not For You - Tremor Christ - Nothingman

Hail Hail- Who You Are--In My Tree

No Way - Given to Fly-Wishlist (although I don't think Yield has a single 3 great song run. This is the best i can do)

Grievance - Rival - Sleight of Hand (why not--see Yield, though)

Can't Keep--Save you-- LBC (see Yield)

Life Wasted--WWS---Comatose

GSMF--Got Some--The Fixer

Sure, I'll do this.

Jeremy, Oceans, Porch
Go, Animal, Daughter
Spin the Black Circle, Not for You, Tremor Christ
In My Tree, Smile, Off He Goes
Brain of J., Faithfull, No Way
Thin Air, Insignificance, Of the Girl
Get Right, Green Disease, Help Help
Parachutes, Unemployable, Big Wave

Okay, I give up.

The Binaural and Riot Act choices are very unsatisfactory. I realised recently that I probably like S/T more than I do Riot Act, though that isn't to say I dislike Riot Act (it's high points are arguably higher.)

With every post you break my heart AND make me fall further in love with you, Spenno.
