Favorite Built to Spill Songs

Great selections. They really don't get the credit they deserve.

Impossible to choose. The new album is good, but not great. It's all songs I've heard before at live shows and I enjoy it but there is no great song on there

Really like carry the zero. For years, every time it came on I would start singing and then have yo go look up who it is. I've learned their sound now and can usually pick out their songs. Love his voice!

According to Spotify, I also like Strange and Nowhere Nothin' frickup

I've always liked your taste in music seaward - I'll give their new album a listen. I haven't really dug into their catalog before, what's your favorite album?

1. Made Up Dreams
2. Kicked it in the Sun
3. Car
4. The Plan
5. Carry the Zero

But yeah, its impossible. I shuffled their entire discography on a jog yesterday. Rediscovered so much.

Honorable mention should go to his entire solo album, "Now You Know". The song "Lift" might be in my all time top 5 from any band. The guitar solo just takes you away, not unlike the solo on "Car".

Doug's approach to guitar is insane. Ya'll know he only even has his middle strat pickup wired. I'm like most and barely touch my middle pickup (in the rare instances I reach for a strat).

I hope they expand their tour. Just September dates right now.

Conventional Wisdom is by far my favorite.

when is this?

As for my favorites, I can't really rank them but for sure it's made up of these:

the plan
sidewalk
bad light
time trap
stop the show
out of site

I'm a basic bitch in that I've really only ever gravitated towards KILAS/PFNO and haven't really fallen for any of their other stuff that I've heard.

I Would Hurt A fly

No one has mentioned this one.

Well, when I fly, and I hate takeoffs, I listen to Randy Describes Eternity and it soothes my anxiety. So maybe that's my favorite.

Cortez and Virginia Reel Around the Fountain are a powerhouse combo on the live album.
