You have to dig through a lot of their discography to appreciate their versatility.

Alligator’s 1-2-3 punch of Geese, City Middle, and Mr November is fricking tough. Last three songs on the album though so that got missed by a lot of folks.

A lot of fans of Alligator were disappointed in Boxer because it was so restrained in comparison. Then after a few playthroughs it sunk in for me and others.

High Violet and Trouble Will Find Me were good but a bit up and down to me. Some truly great songs but some very forgettable songs; Sleep Well Beast and I Am Easy to Find continued this trend but with fewer highs than lows.

Also they have some truly excellent singles and B-sides not included on their proper releases.

Top 10

1. Slow Show
2. Geese of Beverly Road
3. Mr November
4. Mistaken for Strangers
5. About Today (extended)
6. Apartment Story
7. Conversation 16
8. Pink Rabbits
9. Baby We’ll Be Fine
10. Think You Can Wait

Glad to see Pink Rabbits in the top 10 lists here. Anyone have Exile Vilify on their list by chance?

I don’t think I could possibly do a top 10 for The National. Far too fluid.
