Likewise! But heartened to know someone here does. If you like them you should listen to Bailter Space, it's basically the same band, although less noisy and raw. Some of the most kick ass guitar playing I've personally ever heard.

New Zealand fucking rules.

Tevin Campbell - A Goofy Movie Soundtrack

[Derek]

These are all the albums I have as 5 stars on rateyourmusic. Plenty are ripe for reevaluation, especially some of the usual suspects, several of which I haven't listened to in a looong time. I also have a dozen or so 4.5ers on the cusp so this thread gives me a little nudge to reevaluate from that end too.

Modest Mouse - The Moon & Antarctica...possibly The Lonesome Crowded West too

The latter is definitely one of my on-the-cuspers, though TM&A is fantastic as well.

[Kiusagi]

Yes – Tales from Topographic Oceans

I'm glad someone else likes this one. It gets such a bad rap and I don't know why. I think Fragile and Close to the Edge are superior, but Tales is still great.

I decided TM&A was my favorite album of the 00s while listening to it during a road trip through...the lonesome, not-very-crowded west.

[Pop Trash]

Some bizarre "five star albums" here guys.

[Raiders]

Some bizarre "five star albums" here guys.

What's the criteria other than the person posting them finding them to be worthy?

[Pop Trash]

What's the criteria other than the person posting them finding them to be worthy?

Just listened to this a few weeks ago for the first time, loved it. Sea Song is amazing.
I have long been a huge Robert Wyatt fan, as all knowlegeable MCer's should also be.


Here he is in one of his 'pop'-ier moments:

d4NTnvVf7Iw


And here he is providing stellar harmony vocals on Kevin Ayers phenomenal album, Whatevershebringswesing, itself also a very close five star album (and featuring a very young Mike Oldfield on guitar) this is one of my all-time favorite songs:
