Fake Plastic Trees and High and Dry are pretty good.
Just is an average song (but the video is one of my all time favorites).
The album would probably make it into my top 125 of the last 25 years, but there is no way in hell that it would be above Kid A or Siamese Dream (which was over 30 spots behind The Bends on this list).

I knew when I started linking there that you would be one of the ones who got hooked. Sorry.
Just for my own amusement, I made a first draft of my top 50 albums of the last 25 years. The sole criteria forr the ranking was "which album would I miss the most if I could never listen to it again." As such, the list is not intended to listalbums in order of greatest artistic merit or greatest influence on music, although I am sure both factors fit into my mental equation somewhere.

4. Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream
5. Tool – Lateralus

20. Tool – 10,000 Days
21. Portishead - Dummy
22. Coheed and Cambria – Good Apollo I’m A Burning Star IV, Volume 1: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness
23. Pixies - Surfer Rosa
24. Nine Inch Nails - Downward Spiral
25. Deftones – Saturday Night Wrist
26. Smashing Pumpkins – Pisces Iscariot

Dude, I don't even know you but your cool in my book for choosing 3 Mars Volta Albums for your top 50.
I was trying to remember what we've been listening to at home the last couple of weeks. I know we had The Wreckers and Ryan Adams and some Brubeck. An old Passion cd was playing while we got ready for church on Sunday. Had some Pavarotti at some point recently (we were eating Italian food) and the baby loved it. I think Miles Davis's Porgy and Bess got a spin.
I heard an accoustic version of "Pride and Joy" this morning on the way to work. I'm not sure they make a "Baby's first Stevie Ray Vaughn" so we may have to settle for the live album. I'm pretty sure I've listened to it recently but I'm not sure the little one was around. I think she was, but just to be safe I'll have to play it again. I want to make sure and expose her to SRV early and often.
At work it's mostly been a Pandora station that mixes classical, film scores, jazz, and other instrumental stuff. Just background music mostly, although I have to admit that if I get something like Superman or Indiana Jones music the paperwork gets all epic feeling.
Various Bluegrass covers. Not impressed with a couple of the ones I've listened to, but I like The Killers cover.

Yeah, that cover of "Mr. Brightside" is legit.Quote:

I think I am able to rank it fairly against the other Deftones albums, and I think it is better than all of them except White Pony. In time, I may like it more than White Pony, but I am not prepared to call it that way now. I am sure there is also a recent-listening bias to my list, because it would be more difficult to imagine giving up an album that I have recently enjoyed than one I haven't listened to in some time.Quote:
