ok, so i admit the actual task at hand is a bit too difficult for me... :lol so i say:

 

9. Clementine-Castaways and Cutouts (The Decemberists)

 

:huh

 

despite being the one song that colin breaks out the fuck word (which always wins points with me ).... i find this a beautiful song.

 

don't mind me, though... i don't think the decemberists have ever done anything that annoys me...

I refuse to do any actual ranking (and also, apparently, to limit my response to ten albums) but here are my entries, alphabetically by artist...

 

Can't Buy Me Love - The Beatles (A Hard Day's Night)

Morpha Too - Big Star (Radio City)

Porchlight - Neko Case (Furnace Room Lullaby)

Monument Sails - Centro-matic (Fort Recovery)

Four Horsemen - The Clash (London Calling)

Living in Paradise - Elvis Costello & The Attractions (This Year's Model)

Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts - Bob Dylan (Blood On the Tracks)

Kashmir - Led Zeppelin (Physical Graffiti)

Stove By a Whale - Ted Leo/Pharmacists (The Tyranny of Distance)

Auctioneer - R.E.M. (Fables of the Reconstruction)

You Gotta Move - The Rolling Stones (Sticky Fingers)

Chloroform - Spoon (A Series of Sneaks)

Go For It - Stiff Little Fingers (Go For It)

Outdone - Uncle Tupelo (No Depression)

Not Home Anymore - Whiskeytown (Strangers Almanac)

Heavy Metal Drummer - Wilco (Yankee Hotel Foxtrot)

 

Some of these were unbelievably tough. For example, how the hell do you choose the worst song on London Calling, Sticky Fingers, or Strangers Almanac? :punch
