All of them are winners, although I always thought that 'Knife' might even be a bit better than 'High Land'. In the end I voted for 'Psychocandy', because in it's entirety it really blew me away back then ... this stuff really was new and fresh and unheard before. <br /><br />And when I get home from work today I'll listen to all of 'Rattlesnakes' again ... perhaps just in order to find out that I might have been wrong here!Dirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02907703583893968857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815215641735446886.post-88710568802883935432013-11-22T03:28:32.784-05:002013-11-22T03:28:32.784-05:00Nice choice, Brett.

I think your decision to go with This Is the Story probably falls in line with a real fan. I'll make sure your nod to This Is the Story is included when I tally up the votes next week.

Both great albums.<br /><br />No slight meant to Del Amitri, Close Lobsters, or Aztec Camera.
