Wait a minute! Regins Spektor is only 1K??

Ha ha, after the Rasputina album I went in alphabetical order by artist. But even then, Regina's albums wouldn't be at the top of my list. I love her, and I love specific songs, but I don't think she's made her perfect album yet.

She has yet to make her "Ode to CV" double album.

I think she's said she doesn't do concept albums, or at least the way she writes songs hasn't allowed her to yet, but that's quite a concept, Sean.

'Couldn't Stand The Weather' was an excellent album also.

Couldn't Stand the Weather, that's a good one. Day at the races, Night at the Opera, Eliminator (zztp)....I forgot about that one album by Sinead O'Connor. Oh, and what about "The Captain and Tenile".....?

Dead Kennedys - Bedtime for Democracy
Black Flag - Slip It In
Misfits - Legacy of Brutality
Faith No More - Epic
D-A-D - No Fuel Left for the Pilgrims
Pink Floyd - The Wall
Avengers - American in Me
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Mother's Milk
