Actually the last Johnny Cash wasn't that great. There were a couple really good songs on it, but overall it was pretty uneven. *runs for cover* **loads gun** C'mon, "Danny Boy?" "In My Life?" Good songs, sure, but he just didn't pull it off. |

Three bodies, separated by thousands of miles, sharing one brain. Yep, that explains a lot.  And I get to live in Coventry, surrounded by people like this:  Fucking great. |

Right. Watch 3 minutes of Cov Blaze and you'd probably have that face that I get when I watch MLS. I bet even half-gay Canucks like you and CWA could improve their squad tenfold.

OK, I'll never be happy with this, but here goes ...
1. The Rising, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band.
2. Hail to the Thief, Radiohead (just listened to this again today, and damn this is a fine record. I LIKE it a lot more than OK Computer).
3. Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, Wilco.
4. Love and Theft, Bob Dylan.
5. All That You Can't Leave Behind, U2 (Drum can bitch about this record all he wants, Stuck in a Moment ranks with the best songs they've ever recorded, and the rest is damn near as good).
6. Reveal, R.E.M. (gorgeous sounds, lyrics that make sense - but aren't an embarresment. A great, mature album from America's longest lived great band).
7. Streetcore, Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros.
8. The Wind, Warren Zevon.
9. Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not, Arctic Monkeys. (Better than Is This It, which means it makes the list).
10. As Is Now, Paul Weller. (Weller's best solo record since Wild Wood, and it might actually be BETTER than that classic!).
11. By the Way, Red Hot Chili Peppers. (can you say "career peak" ? I knew you could).
12. O Brother Where Art Thou, Original Soundtrack. (I'm not quite as taken with this now as five years ago, but it's still a great compilition).
13. When I Was Cruel, Elvis Costello and the Imposters. (Striking return to form, his best (and least forced) record since Spike ... no, make that since King of America. Better than the critically lauded (but personally disapointing) Delivery Man).
14. Reality, David Bowie. (This could just as easily be Heathen, but both halves of this set are striking and powerful works from one of rock's greatest. Today I'm going with Reality b/c it sounds more relaxed and confident).
15. Binaural, Pearl Jam. (This is a great record, just behind No Code and Vitalogy in the PJ standings, IMHO).
I didn't mention How To Dismantle an Atomic Bomb or Global A Go-Go b/c of the one per artist limit I imposed on myself. Similarly, Kicking Television and Springsteen's Live in NYC were kept out b/c of a self-imposed prohibition on live albums (b/c if I opened the door to live recordings, I'd have to somehow reconcile Dylan's Live: 1975, etc. with release dates in this century). There were a lot of albums that I've heard and liked, but which didn't make this list. To my surprise, I could probably flesh this out to a full twenty studio albums that I've really liked from this decade. I bitch quite a bit about how music hasn't been as good in the nuthin's as in the past, but these are records that I'm awfully fond of. And I love the fact that Paul Weller (for example), who made such perfect music for me when he (and I) were 25 years younger, can still speak to me today.

I think Bow is planning on posting something like a top nineteen ...
I was going to close the voting on this tonight, but I'll keep it open at least through the weekend. How does Monday night sound? If your list isn't up here by 7:00 p.m. mountain time on Monday, April 10, 2006, then it won't be counted. Got that? Not at 7:00 p.m. Pacific time, or 7:00 in the morning in Oz ... 7:00 p.m. in the Rocky Mountain states here in the U.S.
So I'll tell Melon, I mean Mr. T., to start tallying this baby up and to make sure that he includes anyone who votes in the next 73 hours.
