        Typical response. -- nm - ty97 Oct 15, 10:00 1
        
        We shared an oaky chardonnay over table service at a Norah Jones concert at the amphitheater. -- nm - colin 👻💦🍆 Oct 15, 10:02

        YOU DON’T LIKE CHRIS CORNELL??? -- nm - David Oct 15, 10:04
        
        you should go on a Hunger Strike -- nm - Booooker Oct 15, 09:59 2
        
        That’s not Soundgarden. -- nm - David Oct 15, 10:01 1
        
        that was the joke :0 -- nm - Booooker Oct 15, 10:02
        
        right? -- nm - colin 👻💦🍆 Oct 15, 09:59
    - Tied for #13 -- nm - ty97 Oct 15, 09:56

    - 3-way tie for #17 -- nm - ty97 Oct 15, 09:58 2
      - I can't even do my Canadian bias thing due to #1...bastards :) -- nm - Booooker Oct 15, 09:58 1
        
        i'm totally okay with blaming canadians for this outcome. -- nm - colin 👻💦🍆 Oct 15, 10:03
- One more stat note. There was a huge gap between #3 and #4. The top 3 are in their own echelon vote wise. - ty97 Oct 15, 09:54 1

  - Well, that's the wrong order. -- nm - 👽 Scully 👽 Oct 15, 09:52 1
    - Wrong album too. -- nm - spamlet Oct 15, 10:04
- and I have to get on a conference call. - ty97 Oct 15, 09:46
- And now it gets interesting, as we get to the Top 3. - ty97 Oct 15, 09:44
- #4 - ty97 Oct 15, 09:43
- #5 - ty97 Oct 15, 09:41 5
  - My #6 -- nm - zunkskunk scared stupid ♻ Oct 15, 10:01
  - So far, 10, 9, and 6 are the only ones that don't suck. -- nm* - New, Better David Oct 15, 09:42 3
    - I can't wait until ty does this again, but for 80s movies. -- nm - Roger More Oct 15, 09:48 2
      - I think I just had a seizure -- nm - ty97 Oct 15, 09:48 1
        
        you are just upset Howard the Duck is going to place top 3 at least. -- nm - colin 👻💦🍆 Oct 15, 09:55

  - this list brought to you by every alt-rock Cumulus run 90s radio station. -- nm - colin 👻💦🍆 Oct 15, 09:41 1

  - Beaker smiling politely -- nm - Booooker Oct 15, 09:38
- #8 - ty97 Oct 15, 09:37 23
  - I figured this would win. I only know about it because of ST. -- nm - New, Better David Oct 15, 09:42 22
    - There’s a group of people that love Radiohead to their dying breath. Everyone else is “yeah, Creep was cool I guess” -- nm - spamlet Oct 15, 09:52 14
      - That's me. Saw them at Lolla a couple of years ago and gave up after a half hour. -- nm - pmb Oct 15, 09:59
      - That's me. -- nm - zunkskunk scared stupid ♻ Oct 15, 09:57
      - I don't think I could name a song of theirs other than Creep. -- nm - kelly Oct 15, 09:55 5
        
        You've absolutely heard Karma Police. -- nm - Reagen Oct 15, 09:56 4
        
        I like KP as well but never really went deeper than that. - spamlet Oct 15, 10:07
        
        I mean, the first few notes before I change the station... -- nm - David Oct 15, 10:00
        
        ~karma karma karma karma police you come and go, you come and goooooohoh~ -- nm - Booooker Oct 15, 09:56 1
        
        Yes, very similar indeed. -- nm - Reagen Oct 15, 09:57
      - It's the musical equivalent of Trump voters. They picked a side and cannot admit it's wrong...kind of like Hanson fans! -- nm - New, Better David Oct 15, 09:54 2
        
        They do a great cover of Radiohead's Optimistic. -- nm - 👽 Scully 👽 Oct 15, 09:55 1
        
        Sounds perfect for ST. -- nm - David Oct 15, 09:58
      - This is essentially why I haven't bothered with any of this. -- nm - Reagen Oct 15, 09:53 1
        
        And to be clear, I wasn't being dismissive. I know we have several passionate fans on here with good taste. - spamlet Oct 15, 10:09
      - Basically this. -- nm - 👽 Scully 👽 Oct 15, 09:53
    - I remember it being THE album for the cool kids when it came out. - ty97 Oct 15, 09:42 6
      - Muse took their reigns at this point and didn't look back. - BloodyAxeSean, Anti-Pumpkin 🚫🎃🚫 Oct 15, 09:53 5
        
        I'd never heard this comparison. It's interesting since I quite like Muse. -- nm - ty97 Oct 15, 09:56
        
        I hear this a ton, but nah. -- nm - Reagen Oct 15, 09:54 3
        
        (also, Muse were *awful* for most of the 10s) -- nm - Reagen Oct 15, 09:55 2
        
        I'm not sure if I'd go as far as 'awful' but forgettable yes -- nm - ty97 Oct 15, 10:04
        
        I'll agree with this mostly. I still enjoy them more than current Radiohead -- nm - BloodyAxeSean, Anti-Pumpkin 🚫🎃🚫 Oct 15, 09:59
- #9 - ty97 Oct 15, 09:37 6
  - blech -- nm - BloodyAxeSean, Anti-Pumpkin 🚫🎃🚫 Oct 15, 09:37 5
    - One is on this album. -- nm - New, Better David Oct 15, 09:44 3
      - I separate U2 into the same type of groups with a massive divide, like Metallica. - BloodyAxeSean, Anti-Pumpkin 🚫🎃🚫 Oct 15, 09:48 2
        
        Even so, One is u2’s best song. Sort of Homecoming is second. -- nm - David Oct 15, 09:59
        
        U2 definitely has two main phases. -- nm - 👽 Scully 👽 Oct 15, 09:54
    - Right? *9th*? Lets see what did better. -- nm - 💀SPAWN💀 Oct 15, 09:39
- #10 - ty97 Oct 15, 09:37 14
  - It was my #1. -- nm - zunkskunk scared stupid ♻ Oct 15, 09:55
  - Huh -- nm* - Krusty Oct 15, 09:40 12
    - I was surprised it placed 10. I didn't think it would do poorly, but didn't expect it to crack the top 10. -- nm - ty97 Oct 15, 09:41 11
      - I don't remember if I nominated it, but it was in the mix (so would be top 10) -- nm - BloodyAxeSean, Anti-Pumpkin 🚫🎃🚫 Oct 15, 09:42
      - I was surprised it was nominated let alone in the top 10 -- nm - Krusty Oct 15, 09:41 2
        
        Only three people nominated it, which makes its placement that much more impressive -- nm - ty97 Oct 15, 09:47 1
        
        I'm pretty sure I didn't nominate it but I voted for it. It totally slipped my mind when nominating -- nm - kilboooooo 👻 Oct 15, 10:03
      - It was hugely influential at the time. -- nm - New, Better David Oct 15, 09:41 6
        
        Really? -- nm - Krusty Oct 15, 09:44
        
        Sure, but that doesn't mean that 20+ years later people will still vote for it -- nm - ty97 Oct 15, 09:42 4
        
        Why wouldn't that? It's still fun. -- nm - New, Better David Oct 15, 09:43 3
        
        it's *great.* -- nm - amanda Oct 15, 09:48 1
        
        I actually, randomly, saw them live like 5 years ago. - ty97 Oct 15, 09:52
        
        The latter part is the reason it made the list. Something can be influential in the 90s but not hold up and make these lists now. - ty97 Oct 15, 09:46
You know, David, you can *divide* burger and freeze it. -- nm - 👽 Scully 👽 Oct 15, 09:33 2
- He only has 2lbs of burger? Why divide a light lunch? -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 15, 09:39
- It's like you don't know me at all. -- nm - New, Better David Oct 15, 09:35
Colin, it's in the story, but: -- (link) - Reagen Oct 15, 09:29 2
- i saw the entire story summed in one tweet, the details are even better. thank you -- nm - colin 👻💦🍆 Oct 15, 09:40
- If anything, the screengrab undersells the crazy. - New, Better David Oct 15, 09:31
GIVE ME THE ALBUMS! -- nm - Booooker Oct 15, 09:28 1
- you sure do love Al's Bum. -- nm - colin 👻💦🍆 Oct 15, 09:28
