  1. To clarify, Outlaws is the Lucas Arts game, with soundtrack by Clint Bajakian,and not the band or movie.

  4. First off... *CRAP*... I already want to swap 2 or 3 albums in and out of this list.

    B) Batman is better than Superman.

    III - How about next step, folks zone in on one track from each album to make a sweet playlist?

  5. Sandor, you do have editing rights. You can make the change if you want. That being said, why would you want to?

  6. My mind was zigging when making the list last night and zagging this morning... skewed more towards albums I physically own(ed). Plus, some wonkish sense of balance rejects a couple of bands getting multiple listings.

    I'll let it stew for a bit more.

  7. I'm arbitrarily setting a "no doubles" rule for my own list (no one else's) and dropping

    The Waterboys - Fisherman's Blues
    in favor of
    Gogol Bordello - Super Taranta!

    Fisherman's Blues is as near a perfect studio album as exists, but I think The Live Adventures of the Waterboys conveys a fuller experience and captures the spirit of the band just as Fisherman's Blues was being released.
