Progressive Boink

[Casey]

holdin' out till December 'cause I am trying as hard as I can to like Rilo Kiley

[Alan]

(their new one is their weakest release yet in my opinion but I still love it)

Soda would you like me to send you my favorite songs of theirs, maybe I can convince you how awesome they are?

[Casey]

no no, I mean I like the band but not the new album, it is like Wilco's new one but worse in its MOR blanditude

[Alan]

oh I understand now, my mistake

my first listen I hated it, but it's definitely grown on me.

[Casey]

it's not even the overall sound, I can deal with that, it's bullshit lyrics that are a waste of everyone's time and effort

and i was your silver lining
as the story goes
i was your silver lining but now im gold
hooray hooray im your silver lining
hooray hooray but now im gold.

I don't really like Breakin' Up but otherwise that is a really good list.

[Randy Jones]

dreamworld is objectively their best song

[Alan]

Breakin' Up was my favorite on the new cd, the rest are subpar by their standards in my opinion

[Folby]

it makes me angry when people make lists like that and don't explain what direction they're going in. my natural assumption is worst -> best, but then you're going from 1 to 10. what the hell, man. just do it letterman style and no one gets confused.

[Alan]

Well I'm of the assumption that most people know that #1=best
