Well, you sure wouldn't, Geir, but I've got no trouble ranking that higher than Momentary Lapse of Reason, say, and I'm pretty sure I'm not alone.
Redd Kross seems wrong to me too, though admittedly I know songs more than albums. But I definitely think the stuff I know from Teen Babes and Neurotica slays what I know from Born Innocent.

Also, Mayhem, if you leave out demos and live albums: De Mysteriis > Wolfs Lair Abyss > Grand Declaration Of War > ChimeraKatatonia can be taken off the list, as they've just released a better album than Viva Emptiness (although it's still not in the league of the first three).

Come off it, no way was Gold Against the Soul better than the Holy Bible.
I dunno. I know conventional knowledge is that Holy Bible is the very best of them, but I find it almost unlistenable. I haven't listened to all of Gold Against The Soul (it may just be THAT bad), so I can't be sure, but I suspect that I at any rate would agree with the Manics.
Don't see what people are getting at with the Pets. Actually is significantly better than Please, Behaviour is significantly better than the terrible Introspective (some great singles, but really uninspired production. except for Left To My Own Devices), and Very is [arguably] better than Behaviour. (I personally am not crazy about either Behaviour or Very; but Actually is amazing.)

You mean, they were at their best when they were just a small, local cellar band in my own native Ski, Norway?

Aquemini is great, but not as good as their first two.

No, because their demos were crap and the live recordings I've heard pre-1990 were absolutely terrible too.
Also, Notorious B.I.G.

Record buying audiences, particularly here in Europe, disagreed, and that was for a reason. From 1998 onwards, though, everything she has done has been fantastic, other than the somewhat patchy "American Life". She did a correct choice, leaving house and hip-hop/trip-hop behind her forever and making electronica and electro instead.

record buying audiences in usa certainly don't agree; it's been a steady decline since the amazing take a bow (I think it's her most popular single ever, in terms of record sales?)
and mirwais is obviously a twat, everybody agrees. have you listened to music lately? it's awful

What this all means is that in 2023 The New Strokes will re-form with Conner Oberst taking over the JC spot.

Silver Convention, maybe? (But only if *Love In a Sleeper* came before *Golden Girls,* which I'm not sure it did.)
Billy Squier? (Possibly even including his Piper and Sidewinders albums; I'd have to go back and check.)
The Babys? Point Blank?? You tell me...

I only know one song by them but if "Another Cha Cha" isn't the best thing ever, I don't know what is.

Really? Because I see it the exactly the other way around: Experience has a bunch of similar-sounding (but great) hardcore bangers (excluding "Weather Experience", of course) and no filler, whereas Music for the Jilted Generation is more "experimental and adventurous". It ends with three-piece "suit" (which of course could be horrible thing, but fortunately not in this case), for chrissakes, and the sound is much more varied.
