pinkerton and blue are both pretty much perfect records, so far as i'm concerned. i still listen to them all the time, and they always sound fresh.

it's actually the ten year anniversary of pinkerton's release today.

I have no desire to hear anything post Pinkerton. Especially knowing that would mean I would have to listen to Island in the Sun. that song was terrible.

yep those 2 are pretty perfect.
i am one of the few people i think who also likes the other 3 albums. they are nowhere near as good, but each album has at least a couple tracks worth hearing.
plus, after green but before maladroit, they put out a shitload of demos on their website, and there was enough there to make an album of good tracks. superstar and hey domingo being 2 of my faves.

i remember that. there was this one song called "the dawn" and it was as good as some of the songs off blue. it was the best post-pinkerton song id heard by them....but it didnt even make the final batch of demos.

I'm surprised they didn't release a special/deluxe edition to celebrate, like they did with their first album.
But I agree, their first two albums are classics, and the green album is also enjoyable. And you won't find a better 90spop song than "Buddy Holly" imo.
