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.
Hang on a minute @gap you keep telling me you’re not into folky stuff and look at first aid kit all the way up in 36! There’s hope for you yet
Seriously though I’m liking your list so far!

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!
