Capitol Hill’s top albums of all time

This conversation has me working on a Capitolhillseattle.com census. Details to come. I’m in a measuring the collective kind of mood. Add in this weekend’s KEXP’s pledge drive promotion countdown of the top 903 albums of all time and this question was inevitable:

What’s your favorite album… ever?

I’m data driven so will not argue with the numbers — my favorite album, it turns out, is Morcheeba’s Charango (unsurprisingly not on Rolling Stone Mag’s list of top 500 albums). You?

I like the list as it stands now — a 4-way tie between Morcheeba, Neko Case, Radiohead and the Weakerthans. No further comments. Vote is closed.
