Oh, gosh, I'm sure my list changes daily, depending on what is in my player at the time:

1. All This Useless Beauty
2. King of America
3. Get Happy!
4. Imperial Bedroom
5. Painted From Memory

Ask me tomorrow and it may be different.

By the way, I am assuming "Greatest Hits" compilations are off limits, or I would put Girls Girls Girls first.

...To protect the privacy of the other albums they will not be listed. They have feelings too. They are great albums and they should be left as is. Thank you for understanding.

Big surprise for me is how low Armed Forces is ranked. This has long been a critics' darling, but I find it a hard album to warm up to, and I guess a lot of other people do as well.

For onw I'm happy it's ranked low...It gave underated albums a chance...and in my opinion it's not that special anyway, I'm quite happy with the results. I think If everybody took a stab at it, WIWC, TDM, SPIKE and PTC would've had a better score, they're fan avourites!
