Am I being too hopeful in hoping for Giant Steps in the top five?
Isn't Giant Steps from the 60s? Or is there another album by the same name I'm aware of?

I have to say that this the sort of a rare poll where I have no idea what might be in the top 10.
― Tuomas, Tuesday, 27 April 2010 14:58 (fourteen years ago) link
Yes, it's really exciting!

well the rules make it kinda impossible to guess, right? because you have no idea how people will have allocated their points.

I was actually told the top 15 in a dream last night in which a blind dwarf tapped out the titles in morse code on my window with a dead bird and now you will never know if this prophecy is true or not :(

Honestly, last week I wouldn't have guessed we'd see any results at all, so my prognostications should probably be shrugged off. Or fucked off, your choice.

79= Built To Spill - Keep It Like A Secret (1999)37 points3 votes0 first-place votesGreatest contributor: kingkongvsgodzilla

"Keep It Like A Secret" has Carry the Zero, their best song and one of the greatest songs of all time, IMO. Also has You Were Wrong, one of the best answer records to classic rock. Ergo "Keep It" wins.

Same here. KILAS is one of the few records I can listen to in any mood. I would have to include it in my all-time Top 5. I find it very uplifting, but when you listen to the lyrics they are almost all sad or ambivalent. Except for 'Temporarily Blind.' Maybe that's why it's one of my favourite songs.
― Jaromil (Jaromil), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 21:52 (6 years ago)
Keep It is really the only Built To Spill i fuck with at all, I saw one of the shows where they did Perfect last year and just kept thinking about how much i'd like to hear the other album instead.
― goodship journey to lollipop (some dude), Thursday, 24 September 2009 05:15 (7 months ago)
keep it like a secret always feels perfect.
― Surmounter, Saturday, 11 October 2008 04:16 (1 year ago)
Keep it Like A Secret is pefect in my book. Perfect guitar pop.
I once was at a strip club where the strippers had to play their own music on the jukebox. One girl stripped to Silent Lucidity by Queensryche, so anything's possible.

I don't believe I've ever heard a note from Built To Spill. Maybe it's time to rectify that situation.
― EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 27 April 2010 15:24 (fourteen years ago) link
I loved this album once and have felt no urge to listen to it for many years even though I fondly remember a few of its songs. In honour of this thread I hope to go home and play it loudly.
― xylyl syzygy (a passing spacecadet), Tuesday, 27 April 2010 15:25 (fourteen years ago) link
xpost Me neither. They're supposed to be a poor-man's Pavement, or so I've heard...?

Phew! So I might like them?
― EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 27 April 2010 15:27 (fourteen years ago) link
From what I know of your taste, dog latin, I could see you liking it. I'm looking forward to revisiting it, actually - see how it's aged.
― xylyl syzygy (a passing spacecadet), Tuesday, 27 April 2010 15:27 (fourteen years ago) link
They dont sound like Baroness or Mastodon either, so maybe ;)xp
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Tuesday, 27 April 2010 15:28 (fourteen years ago) link
Thanks for pre-empting my question, spacecadet.
Nice I will check it out.
― village idiot (dog latin), Tuesday, 27 April 2010 15:28 (fourteen years ago) link
ACtually, what is the deal with Baroness? They were so rated in that end of year poll with awesome album cover but the music sounded like the Darkness after a particularly gruelling rugby match.
― village idiot (dog latin), Tuesday, 27 April 2010 15:29 (fourteen years ago) link
There's an even better Built To Spill album

I dislike Pavement far more than either Baroness or Mastodon. Exponential difference in loathing.

well EZ, im pretty sure you will like BtS more than Pavement, Baroness and Mastodon.

Yes, Midnight Marauders is as summery as a jar of fireflies. Playing that album, even in the dark depths of a Michigan February, will make me fiend for lemonade.

They were so good on the Midnight Maruders tour. Probably my favorite Tribe album - I have that extra layer of attachment to those songs because they kicked such ass.
