Top 20 CDs - #20-17

Because my term papers are not writing themselves and writing this is better than writing nothing at all.

I've already done my top 10 so #11-20 might not sound that interesting but I'll still tell you about them.


20 - Bleed American by Jimmy Eat World
October 15, 2000
Almost 10 years ago, I stood in line to what would be my first show ever at hicago's Fireside Bowl. The Line Up?
Death Cab For Cuttie, Pedro the Lion, Jebediah and Jimmy Eat World. All for about $7

I was not a Jimmy Eat World fan before this show (and in all honestly I'm not a huge fan now) but I had to buy Bleed American when it came out the following year. It played non-stop and I was pretty upset when my college paper reviewed the album as "a constant, almost ignorable nose like that of a refrigerator buzz." Bullshit! This album was amazing and though its novelty has worn off me, I still enjoy it. I can't believe it's been almost 10 years.

19 - Peaceful, The World Lays Me Down by Noah and the Whale
You've heard that one song "Fun, Fun, FUUUUN" If not, go listen to it, you'll love it. You'll end up singing along to the whole CD.

18 - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot by Wilco
"I listen to everything except hip hop or country. But I do listen to Wilco, I like them" I do listen to Hip Hop and some country. And I still like Wilco. This is by far the album that got me hooked and a classic.

17 - Dig Your Own Hole by the Chemical Brothers
[Bass line] Back on one of those other block rockin' BEATS [Bass line] 'nough Said!
