TOP 2 LEAST FAVORITES:

Clumsy (1997)
"Car Crash"

Happiness...

Worst: Annie

...WHAT?!?!

Well, what else would you suggest for Clumsy? I love all of the songs, and that was just the one I liked the least. Unlike most, I like "Hello Oskar", and "Story of 100 Aisles".

Many tend to hate on the singles, but I can't express how much I love "Superman", "4 AM" and "Clumsy". "Big Dumb Rocket" appeals to me somehow, and "Shaking", being after "4 AM" on the setlist, is one I often listened to and came to like it eventually. So there.

Worst: Annie

...WHAT?!?!

I'd say that Annie and Shaking are two OLP songs you will never catch me listening to. They're pure crap, in my opinion.

[crustine]

can i say how much i am enjoying this thread!!!

Gonna have to give all the discs a spin this aft to see where my allegiances lie.

[Lando]

don't worry crusty, none of us will be surprised when you pick the R.K. tracks on SM as your favourites!

[xjsb125]

Haha.

[Matt.]

don't worry crusty, none of us will be surprised when you pick the R.K. tracks on SM as your favourites!

haha..

I listen to 'Ray and Molly' just on its own.. quite a bit, actually

[crustine]

Lando you werent supposed to tell, that was our secret. Ray...swoon

[MindsOnLoan]

I used to not "click" with Under Zenith and Neon Crossing, but lately the two have moved up my charts quite a bit, especially Under Zenith. The only song from Naveed through Spiritual Machines that never did much for me was Waited... I like the song, but not on the same level as other OLP songs.

And as for Clumsy, it was a tough decision because every song on there is a favorite of mine...

[MindsOnLoan]

I love Our Time Is Fading... the guitar work reminds me of Spiritual Machines slightly, but more so of a sound of something recorded when "Whatever" was. The lyrics are pretty good as well, especially considering the era it was recorded/played.

[xjsb125]

Our Time Is Fading was born in 2000 or 2001 I believe, I'd have to ask Josh. I agree, it was probably influenced by Whatever, and it's very guitar driven sound. I think the lyrics are meh, but I do enjoy the music. I'd really like to hear it with Joel in the mix. Not that Mike E. or Jamie do horrible renditions of it, but I think Joel and Steve together would tear it up. Too bad they never made it to the studio on this one.
