Here and There

A couple of days ago, an article about Belle and Sebastian in the NY Times caught my eye. It briefly discusses what it calls an “urgent and unexpected” query: which was B+S’s best album, If You’re Feeling Sinister, or The Boy With the Arab Strap?

A few hours later, on my walk to BART, I was listening to a few tracks from Elliott Smith’s XO when I got a horribly dorky idea: what if I used this space to periodically conduct my own unscientific polls on best albums by select artists? It would be fun, and might provide me a snapshot of my readers.

Why not, right?

So, I’ll start with Elliott (r.i.p.).

I won’t be as restrictive as the pollster in the Times article, but I will give my suggestions, aiming to get at least three LPs in the mix, and in no certain order.

Here are the candidates:

XO
Either/Or
Elliott Smith

Feel free to email or comment your choices, and after three days, I’ll compile the answers and post the results.

I’ve got a lot more bands in mind to try this out with, but feel free to give suggestions.

Okay, world’s newest music dork signing off.
