Defending Manfred isn’t really popular, but I think a lot of really good, popular changes have happened on his watch (pitch clock most important)

but just think the songs are better overall on Doolittle


I would agree with that, as much as I do love Surfer Rosa.

Pixies Come on Pilgrim (technically an EP, but it's 8 songs) Surfer Rosa Doolittle


Almost posted this, but wasn’t sure if Come On Pilgram counted and kind of feel that both Surfer Rosa and Doolittle are the third level of the meme.

Almost posted Modest Mouse too but felt Lonesome Crowded West was too good to fit.
The War on Drugs

Wagonwheel Drugs
Slave Ambient
Lost in the Dream

That meme really does exactly describe their trajectory
Built to Spill

Ultimate Alternative Wavers
There’s Nothing Wrong With Love
Perfect From Now On
Radiohead

Pablo Honey
The Bends
OK Computer

ETA: looks like I was a little late here
1997:

Built to Spill- Kicked in the Sun
Modest Mouse- Teeth Like God’s Shoeshine
Radiohead- Paranoid Android
Yo La Tengo- Deeper into Movies
Elliot Smith- Say Yes
Nirvana

I do like the AIC one too though.

I’m loving that Sharp Pins album. Thanks for rec. Had no clue this was Lifeguard guy. I think this is even better than Lifeguard, which I really like.

I’ve enjoyed this one too. Just need more time with it, but it is so damn long.

This is interesting. Will have to check out the entire album


Let me know what you think. I love it.

Favorite Albums of 2025

Posted by The Seaward on 12/6/25 at 9:00 pm
Top 5 (with a favorite track from each)

1. Ryan Davis and the Roadhouse Band- New Threats From the Soul New Threats From the Soul
2. Fust- Big Ugly Goat House Blues
3. Geese- Getting Killed Cobra
4. Car Seat Headrest- The Scholars The Catastrophe
5. Bill Fox- Resonance Terminal Way

Ryan Davis is probably my favorite album of past three years. A proggy alt country album with great lyrics. Highly recommended for any alt country or David Berman fans.

Some honorable mentions:

Wednesday- Bleeds
Frog- 1000 Variations of the Same Song
Lifeguard- Ripped and Torn
Panda Bear- Sinister Grift
Greg Freeman- Burnover
Matt Berninger- Get Sunk
Florry- Sounds Like…

Good staff, but unlikely it’s even the best staff of 2026

The Kinks are better. Nothing against The Who.

I was about to post this one.

AlxTgr on absolute heater on the first page of this thread too. And I’m not one to concern myself with downvotes, but Teenage Riot having two downvotes kind irked me.
