just for laughs.

My top 5 are GH, Trust, IB, KOA and B&C. I voted for #3.

Depends on my mood. KoA, IB, GH, TYM all vying for #1 on my list.

In an absolute pinch, should I be required to give my entire EC collection away save for one record, I agree with Noiseradio. Using a different critieria (one that allows me to get my TYM 'fix' periodically to forestall the delerium tremons of withdrawal), then it is a toss-up between Imperial Bedroom and Get Happy. So picked 'breakthrough'.

The two I love most are King Of America and Blood & Chocolate.
Just behind : This Year's Model, Get Happy, Imperial Bedroom and All This Useless Beauty.

In this order:

1. Get Happy
2. Imperial Bedroom
3. My Aim Is True
4. Blood & Chocolate
5. Armed Forces

...and just because I like ranking things so much, here's the rest:
6. Trust
7. This Year's Model
8. Painted From Memory
9. The Delivery Man
10. When I Was Cruel
11. Punch The Clock
12. Goodbye Cruel World
13. Spike

I don't have the others (yet).

So far, I've cast the sole vote for TDM, which is my current fave, right up there with King of America, my loooooongtime fave. This speaks, I guess, to the vague "American influence" of both. Don't know if it will stay in the top spot but I honestly feel it will always be in the top 2-3, depending, of course, on all those future albums. . .the great unknown.

The Delivery Man

It's all about anticipation.

I must admit I much prefer the 'old' stuff to the new stuff........

LittleFoole · Post by **LittleFoole** » Wed Apr 13, 2005 3:52 pm

they're virtually all great (ok, well, mostly...), depending on mood, but I'd have to pick Get Happy, then This Year's Model, etc, etc, etc....again, depends on the mood - my formerly-EC-hating wife is rather enjoying The DeliveryMan in her car disc player these days

Imperial Bedroom
Armed Forces
Juliet Letters

Obviously.

Yes, even if it is a song by Carol King (which I shall always associate with Heinz ketchup).

sexysadie7 · Post by **sexysadie7** » Wed Apr 20, 2005 11:26 am

my tops pretty much concur with wardo68, with the exception of the delivery man, which i have to put in my top 5. with the koa reissue coming and sure to be a staple in my cd player for the next six months or so (isn't that the way with elvis cd's! one sticks in my cd player forever and then is totally replaced by another and so on), though, i may have to squeeze out one of the others.

1. get happy
2. trust
3. imperial bedroom
4. the delivery man
5. blood and chocolate

Fishfinger king · Post by **Fishfinger king** » Wed Apr 20, 2005 6:51 pm

1. King of America
2. Imperial Bedroom
3. This year's model
4. Blood and chocolate
5. Get happy!
After that it depends on mood.
Nothing there since 1986. Sorry TDM doesn't come close, though Brutal Youth and When I was Cruel are certainly in the top ten.

selfmademug · Post by **selfmademug** » Wed Apr 20, 2005 7:15 pm

The ones I play the most lately: TRUST, NORTH

MistakenForLilies · Post by **MistakenForLilies** » Wed Apr 20, 2005 8:05 pm

Brutal Youth
Blood & Chocolate
Imperial Bedroom
This Year's Model
Delivery Man

migdd · Post by **migdd** » Wed Apr 20, 2005 9:34 pm

Hey, this was supposed to be our favorite single ALBUM, not top 5!!!!

But since we are going there:

The Delivery Man
King of America
All This Useless Beauty (a dark horse, I admit. . .but what a great collection of songs!!)
Blood and Chocolate
Imperial Bedroom

Did someone say my favorite EC album? Did I ever tell anyone that it's KOA?????????????????

Migdd???? When did KOA drop to No. 2?????

I love TDM also, but it still falls short to KOA.

Don't worry, Spooky. . .just temporary insanity on my part! I'm sure the KOA reissue will be the friendly reminder that puts TDM in it's rightfull place. . .#2!!!

Pidgin · Post by **Pidgin** » Fri Apr 22, 2005 10:30 am

I can't pick just one but my top four are, The Delivery man, Cruel Smile, Imperial Bedroom and Blood and Chocolate.

I wonder what that says about me....(like on those magazine surveys)... based on your choices we can tell that you are cynical, pessimistic, bitter and downright dark, if things don't change, you'll probably end up in a corner sucking your thumb like a small child.

Now if you had choosen, Trust, My Aim is True and, Get Happy .......

Gillibeanz · Post by **Gillibeanz** » Fri Apr 22, 2005 10:54 am

Same as Noise - it has to be 'This Years Model' - not only the best album but also the best album cover!!
