#1 Record narrowly edges out Radio City for one reason: It has Chris Bell on it.

"Freedom"

One of the knock-on effects of this is that side B of MMT is possibly the greatest side of an album in history. And, yet, because it's kind of this weird mutant album that's 1/2 a Greatest Hits collection, it never gets mentioned in these talks about Greatest Album of All Time.

I always think of "Monkberry Moon Delight" as Paul's "I Am The Walrus", in the sense that the exact meaning of the imagery is less important than the cumulative effect. Walrus is still better, of course. It's this unmatched, sinister psychedelic freak out. But I think Monkberry still captures a kind of woozy…

No whey!

So's REM's Eponymous, for that matter.

Or when the specific album is poorly curated. It's not uncommon to find greatest hits records that leave off actual hits in an attempt to emphasize an artists mediocre recent albums.

There's always room for gelatinous cube spoor.

I'm not a car guy, but a lot of the ambivalence I hear about the original Cars movie seems to be just as much about ambivalence to car culture as it is to the actual movie. It was fine. Not Pixar's best, but not some noteworthy failure.

So they're all sequels to Maximum Overdrive.

Wait, do you mean to tell me E.T. wasn't a chick?!

I once listened to a guy claim that he hated Paul - thought he was a hack. John had all the talent.

Hot Take: Batman Forever is worse. At least Batman and Robin is funny in a perverse way. Forever just sucks.

Did you just say "the" I-10?

Sam Houston was also one of the few vocal anti-Confederate Texans. So I don't really understand what the motivation would be to remove his statue.

I loved Kroll. Really surprised it's so hated.

Yeah, this was very much like a classic series episode, which I'm down for every now and then.

Yeah, the moment I heard it I flipped out to my wife. "Holy shit! It's Alpha Centauri!"

He's a fake. Pineapple on pizza is holy.
