Hello Nasty is really good but too long. They could have trimmed some of the weaker tracks and had a better, tighter album.

Michael Anthony's bass riffs on VH II and Women and Children First are the preeminent artistic works of the 20th century.

Panama and Hot For Teacher are two of their best songs (and surprise! don't feature cheesball 80s synths).

Recovery has that song he did with Rihanna, which is one of worst songs ever recorded. I did like Relapse, though.

I never abandoned the Beasties, but that one definitely made me aware that they were on their way down. Hot Sauce Committee Pt. 2 was pretty good, but I don't really ever go back to it.

Michael Anthony is the correct answer. He was a better singer than David Lee Roth.

The bonus tracks from the deluxe version of The Hunter are better than the actual album tracks. The Ruiner is one of my favorite Mastodon songs.

Take A Bow is my favorite Madonna song.

I think I pretty much checked out on Weezy around the same point. His run from Carter II to Carter III with all the 900 mixtapes he released in between are untouchable, but he's been mostly bad for close to ten years now.

It took me years and years to embrace Sky Blue Sky, but it finally clicked for me like six months ago. I'm not sure if it's because I'm getting older or what, but it works for me now.

Coming fresh off of seeing them last night, I'm pretty much the authority on it: YTF, Summerteeth, A Ghost Is Born, Being There, Sky Blue Sky, Star Wars, AM, Schmilco, The Whole Love, Wilco (The Album).

It's really exhausting. It kind of feels like the sonic equivalent of eating your vegetables. Like, I know it's good for me, but I'm not really enjoying it a whole lot.

Someone on Twitter said the singer from Modest Mouse sounds like someone's chasing him with a garden hose.

It makes me think of Patrick Bateman lying to Willem Defoe's detective character in American Psycho, "I don't really like singers."

Sea Change is boring as hell and I have no idea why it's held in such esteem.

That's correct. Even if it's not the best Billy Corgan song, it's certainly the most Billy Corgan song. It had like 70 guitar overdubs.

Make it three.

I liked Goliath a lot more than Amputechture, which I listened to once or twice and forgot about. Bedlam in Goliath might actually be the last physical CD I bought, way back in 2008.

Weird Beck > Sad Beck, generally, but I really love Mutations.

Midnite Vultures is the last Beck album that I really, truly love. I'm glad someone else recognizes how great Mutations is, though. I think it's his best album.
