I did forget turning mist. I've only ever heard it a few times. I probably would have thrown Santa Cruz on there too.

Now you're talking like a person.

Yeah, good call.

Yeah, I wouldn't include anything not from a proper studio LP. I mean, what's the point of shitting on Sweet Lew? The band knew it wasn't good enough for a real record, they buried it at the end of an oddities collection. That's fine, but it seems churlish to put it in a top 10 worst.

Anyway, my "worst 6" from studio albums only, no order:

Evacuation
Gods Dice
Soon Forget
Get Right
Unemployable
Just Breathe

What's the point of NOT shitting on Sweet Lew?

i'd stick 4/20/02 on my list as well.

mray is probably right though. Just studio tracks should count.

In which case (in no order)

evacuation
god's dice
soon forget
bushleaguer
love boat captain
green disease
unemployable
gone
big wave
inside job

and
1. Supersonic


that's 11, but I just can't decide.

And again, every one of these songs still has something redeemable in it. Except maybe soon forget.

How can unemployable be on a worst list?

I hate the sheen on his voice and the oh oh ohs. The music is pretty good

And again, I want to vomit on you.

Oh that's what I like about it....

Yeah, I love everything about that song. The double-tracked vocals are perfect.

Yay for lists. This isn't a strong era for me, so I'll try to be really conservative. Studio albums only, no order:

Evacuation
Cropduster
Green Disease
Bushleaguer
Big Wave
Gone
Speed of Sound
Supersonic
Get Right
Ghost
