Definitely Stay Positive, I have no problem proclaiming my disappointment with that album. If they hadn't released it, I would have probably have given them my artist of the decade nod, but Stay Positive really seemed like a diversion from a proven track record. Almost Killed Me and Boys and Girls in America are probably favs. Love the collab with Elizabeth Elmore of Sarge/Reputation. I would agree that Stay Positive is a flawed record, but I disagree with not giving them a nod for best band of the decade. I have yet to see or hear any other band that has put out four solid records in six years. Something like that is unheard of in music these days. |

especially since it's basically just an opportunity for the same douches to repeat the same "controversial" opinions (hi mhetrick). excuse me? sorry, i just assumed that because i'd read your posts you must have as well.  edit: i'm just playing around, by the way. i don't really know if you're a douche or not, just having a little fun at the expense of your relentless saltiness on here. |

This thread should have been renamed "What is your fourth favourite The Hold Steady album"

Stay Positive is a masterpiece. I love the melancholy air of nostalgia.
I can't wait to hear more B-Sides and re-live the BaGiA live experience on the DVD.

I like BaGiA marginally less than the others. I am struggling to comprehend people placing Separation Sunday as their least favourite, though!

I'm voting Live At Fingerprints... It's flawed on the board mix...
