It’s hard to pick a favorite - that’s the point. Every one of them is good.

That said, the first one that popped into my head was Leave the Biker, and Survival Car, Joe Rey, Radiation Vibe, Sick Day and Sink to the Bottom come to mind quickly and easily.

Pretty much. I wouldn’t presume to say "masterpieces " but easily the most important quality of my favorite albums is that they’re strong from start to finish.

A few that come to me right off:

Lloyd Cole and the Commotions - Rattlesnakes

Fountains of Wayne - Fountains of Wayne

The Presidents of the United States of America - The Presidents of the United States of America

XTC - Black Sea

They Might Be Giants - Flood

The Rainmakers - Flirting with the Universe

Was (Not Was) - What Up Dog?

Morphine - Cure for Pain

All part of the very deliberate and organized effort on the part of the oligarchs to build their new feudalism.

It’s to be just like the old feudalism, except that in addition to being landed gentry they’ll be… let’s call them “teched” gentry.

Just as the original feudal lords did, they’ll own all of the real property, and the rest of us will be reduced to serfs paying rent for access to a hovel. But they’ll also own all of the technology, including the internet, and we’ll be forced to rent access to that too.
