Yup, that's the one. I know I'm in the minority. Though I've discovered, not perhaps completely alone. The ultimate index of all music rests in your ears, and this is (since 1999's "69 Love Songs") my most-played album. And what's amazing: the damn thing's virtually inexhaustible. Which gives me an idea for a possible post...

Wait, do you mean Liz Phair's controversial self-titled album from 2003?

This is an almost impossible question for me to answer because (excepting jazz), I’m an extremely album-oriented listener. Singles for me are the exceptions.

So, off the top of my head:

1950′s–”Songs For Swinging Lovers” (Frank) & “Kind Of Blue” (Miles)
1960′s–”Nashville Skyline” (Bob Dylan) & “The Beatles”
1970′s–”Marquee Moon” (Television) & “Rumours” (Fleetwood Mac)
1980′s–”Marshall Crenshaw” & “Let It Be” (Replacements)
1990′s–”69 Love Songs” (Magnetic Fields) & “Mama Said Knock You Out” (LL Cool J)
The 00′s are still young, but if I had to pick one, it’d be “Liz Phair”.
