Here I was thinking I'd be the only one! It's just uninterrupted bangers front to back

Debut ranked fairly high on mine.
I thought I would be the only one with Debut on mine seeing how most people seem to rank it 5 or lower in her discography. It's so underrated!
Also @gaporter I forgot about that Jamie T album, so good! I need to put it on, it's been a while.

Debut deserves more love, for sure, it's a masterpiece imo
Jamie T is one of a few on my list I figured I would probably be alone in having on there
leaving Panic Prevention off my list was a very painful cut but I have more of a personal attachment to Carry On the Grudge so it's the one that made the cut

If I'm honest, almost everything on my list between #21-45 was basically a jumble.

It’s in my top 10 and firmly so! That album catches a lot of flack for the “shoddy” production but I find it quite charming. And there actually are a lot of interesting sonic details, intentional or not (like the bathroom section of “There’s More To Life Than This,” or the street noises in “Like Someone In Love”).
I made my 50ish list on my phone, tonight I finally broke out my chromebook to start putting them in some semblance of an order. Scrolling through my top 50ish is like flipping through a photo album--so many memories! just wave after wave of emotion. I love it.

OK, I've done it, and after messing with it for a while, I'm ok with the list being kind of vaguely in order, because I think a bunch would switch positions on a different day.

It's also crazy how much stuff I love didn't even make that list, including some genres that I listen to fairly regularly (like jazz and metal) but that I'm not as deep into as I am with the indie rock and electronic scenes.

Aw man, I used to love this album and that whole dance-punky scene. I still have the CD somewhere!

It survived to make it on this list because it's never dropped out of rotation as running music. One of my top 5 shorter run albums.

I have seven matches with your list, among those we have the same Dylan album...I was wondering if I'd be the only one who has The Times on theirs. Guess not!
