    This must be a mistake, The Hold Steady not in the top 20? How dare you :)

    There are actually a few here that will most likely be on my top 15, but what fun would it be if everyone had the same list.
  • lol.

    sorry mang... that record just did not really interest me. their last First Ave show also kind of bored me... maybe i'm just kinda growing tired of them? i dunno. i do know plenty of THS fans that agree this is their weakest to date however, so maybe it's not just me.

    Ha dude you totally have a typo in there. It says the Hold Steady didn't make the cut.
  • sorry to disappoint ya Chris, but it's not... in fact these are the records that didn't make my top 50...

    i dig THS quite a bit, but it's easily my least favorite album of theirs, bar none. i only love 2-3 songs on it tops, and there's 2 songs on the album that are their worst songs to date.
  • Hold Steady's record should definitely be in the top ten. Check out the videos on their Evri profile page, they should at least win for best live band - http://www.evri.com/organization/the-hold-steady-...
