Borders actually used to be in my top three on the album ... but now it's just .. eh not my gig.

i dunno. it took me like an hour and a half to concoct that list though. .. i was very thorough.


and WWIT is a VERY distant last place. the bottom nine before that were all pretty hard to place.

Transistor is too hard to rank from top to bottom, which partly is why it is their best album.

i think ive posted this before, but, running lost to use of time, because it is a complete and total rip off of the song trilogy by mahavishnu orchestra

see here:

http://www.amazon.com/Lost-Trident-Sess ... F8&s=music

that might not be why it lost, but thats why it should be the last on the listsss

well from what i listened to on that link, they only ripped off the intro. The rest of running is classic 311.

thats a good point, but still, maaaaaajor points off, i really liek the rest of the song but when your guitar player professes his love for a band so much, it just seems like the wrong band to try to rip off

and it's not like thats a very unique intro anyhow. i'm sure everyday at least 5 kids in the US dick around in their rooms on guitar and discover that intro and think it's theirs. so i'm not going to take too many points from 311

so me and my friend were talking about bonnaroo this year and all the rumors that have gone around about tool, pearl jam, the muse, and what not. and i was thinkin how cool it would be if they brought back all the gear (i.e. stage, lights, speakers and all that jazz) from the transistor era, and played the album all the way through at bonnaroo this year. that would be amazing.
