In the car just now on my way to meet Dane for lunch, I put on OK Computer on a whim. It suddenly made me really motivated to do this Top Ten Of All Time thing Greg and Tim have been going on about. So I'm going to give it a whirl, and probably totally want to change it in like five minutes. And btw asking for 10 is hard enough, there's no way I'm going to put them in any actual order.
OK Computer - Radiohead
Med sud i eyrum vid spilum endalaust - Sigur Ros
Plans - Deathcab for Cutie
Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes
Funeral - Arcade Fire
Before These Crowded Streets - DMB (may or may not be tainted/un-objective-ified by nostalgia)
Thunder, Lightning, Strike - Go! Team
Either/Or - Elliott Smith
Illinoise - Sufjan Stevens
Soft Bulletin - Flaming Lips
Honorable mentions: (I know this is TOTALLY CHEATING but I can't help it!) Once Soundtrack kind of by Swell Season, Cannons by Phil Wickham, the four seasons by Jon Foreman, Electric Version by New Pornographers.
And holy cow, now that I'm looking that I'm realizing that I am totally schizophrenic when it comes to music. But it's all ME. I'm, like, multi-faceted. Or something. Like a onion parfait. (Omg, I just made a Shrek joke. See, there's another facet.)
