I voted for Happiness, because it was the first cd i was able to get my paws on from OLP, then i would say they all tie. yes, ALL. Well except for OLP live, simply because i dont listen to it as often as the others. I listened to it alot when i got it though :)

I remember staring at the lyrics the first time i listened to Happiness.... I was painting my nails before a violin concert and i didnt have time to waste so i put it in right away and i was like :o all intent and excited and stuff... *sigh* those were the days man. That cd was my life for that hour or so - then i couldnt wait to hear it again after my school concert, haha... < /nostalgia>

I voted for Naveed.

I mean, come on, The Birdman, Starseed, Neon Crossing, Hope... let's not forget perfection in song form, Naveed itself.

Seriously, I think OLP got it just right on the first try with that one. Naveed (the song) is 6 minutes of utter bliss.

Spiritual Machines. Then Clumsy. Then Happiness... Then Naveed. I'm a sucker for concept albums. I hope that one day again soon Raine sings as high as he did on "All My Friends." I'm always flip-flopping between Happiness... and Clumsy for second place, but I just don't think Happiness... has stood up well against the test of time. It's still a wonderful album though.

Garry Kasparov (sp?) has retired now, too. Poor Deep Blue.

I chose SM, but now I sort of wish I'd chose happiness, because it has the most memories for me. I can remember being in my back yard singing "One Man Army" on my ninth birthday, while I was waiting for my family to finish eating so I could get presents. And I can remember being at the playground that same summer with Thief stuck in my head. And I remember not liking the Thief video.
It was also partially what started my "Oh yeah! Our Lady Peace!" because I was looking up Lyrics and I found Annie, and I half-remembered the tune, and was then forced to raid my sisters cd collection and listen to it.

That makes me either want to break my Happiness CD or congratulate you on having good musical taste at such a young age. Damn I feel old.

I like SM the best. It's a good cd. Very good when you're upset. I still don't like clumsy that much though.

Queens Of The Stone Age-Someone's In The Wolf

Once you're lost in twillights's blue
You don't find your way, the way finds you...

Tempt the fates, beware the smile
It hides all the teeth, my dear,
What's behind them...

So glad you could stay
Forever

He steps between the trees, a crooked man
There's blood on the blade
Don't take his hand

You warm by the firelight, in twilight's blue
Shadows creep & dance the walls
He's creeping too..

So glad you could stay
Forever

I used to not be a big fan of Clumsy and Naveed. But I think I posted over in one of the trading threads that what helped me really appreciate those two albums was watching some of the earlier concert bootlegs from 1995-1998. The 4 piece band was just amazing and the live songs made me really enjoy the albums a lot more. Lots of creativity during that period, especially on the tours following the release of Clumsy.
