A good list, but it looks less personalized than it does a copy & paste of any given "50 Greatest Albums List." I do find it curious though that you chose ...Like Clockwork as your favorite QOTSA album.

[–] The_Listener_Canon 8 years ago

It does, I'll admit, but that's me. I just love the likes of Floyd and Zeppelin, and Beatles. I could expand it to 250 and you might see some obscure and less rock oriented stuff. Just click on best of decades.

As for Like Clockwork, I don't know, I just love the feel and flow of it.

Hey, I don't blame you. Like Clockwork is a great album! Most folks (wrongly) cite Songs for the Deaf as their best, but I gotta go with Rated R.
