Collected Animals

Ok I wouldn't normally make a reddit-ish thread like this, but maybe as an emergency means to help even just me mellow re the wait, maybe I'll say 'fuck it'. I mean like out of ALL releases overall, solo and side stuff very much included because I think that's what might make it interesting. Give it more thought than me OR not. Lists are bullshit of course but um, idk why not?

Eager to see if our top 5s especially are similar or over-lap-y or if that's not really the case. Lets um shy away from this kind of thing in the future but, these are desperate times. write as much or as little as you want about choices

1 MPP
2 Spirit
3 SJ
4 Ark
5 TB
6 Down There
7 Water Curses
8 A Day With the Homies
9 ODDSAC
10 Time Skiffs



overall focused on '07-'10 to a fault in terms of being predictable. The post '2015 era seems under-represented considering how much I like most of it since then

ok I'll take a stab:

1. Sung Tongs
2. Fall Be Kind
3. Prospect Hummer
4. MPP
5. Feels
6. Person Pitch
7. Strawberry Jam
8. PBVSGR
9. Spirit
10. Sleep Cycle

Gonna be Diffyiefcult, but why not:

Feels
MPP
Tongs
Water Curses
Spirit
Homies
CHz
Jam
Crosswords
Slasher Flix


HR: Sleep Cycle, TB, PW, PP, Cows

completely off the dome & unsorted, but i will of course double down on any of this if pressed

Centipede Hz
Panda Bear Meets the Grim Reaper
Tomboy
Pullhair Rubeye
Down There
Ark
Painting With
Enter the Slasher House
Oddsac
Feels or Strawberry Jam idk lol

i definitely have a bias towards the ones i was "there" for (everything since Tomboy), though I do think i've finally started to cool on Centipede Hz just slightly

I'm looking for the weird picks. Unfortunately I don't think favoriting anything from Sung Tongs to MPP or even Spirit says anything unique about us even if its largely true they're our faves ;_;

I respect people NOT putting Spirit on their list at all but they are technically "wrong"

I respect people NOT putting Spirit on their list at all but they are technically "wrong"

i mean picking a top ten is really like splitting hairs

Water Curses

I respect the hell out of a deep appreciation of Crosswords EP so for that and Homies inclusion I award you 7 Panda EPs

Centipede Hz
Panda Bear Meets the Grim Reaper
Tomboy
Pullhair Rubeye
Down There
Ark
Painting With
Enter the Slasher House
Oddsac
Feels or Strawberry Jam idk lol

Strong '11-'13 energy, I love it. Also PW. I'm gonna need yal to describe Pullhair in terms of do you actually like it as-released but I will award you 9 Keep Cassettes

I feel like EPs are much easier to get right than LPs so in general they impress me less, which is why my ranking is totally skewed away from them. but I love the EPs too

if someone's bored, compiling these to see the average top 10 would be interesting......

I'm so bored. is there a site that will do that for me

1 Sung Tongs
2 Feels
3 Eucalyptus
4 MPP
5 CHz
6 Spirit
7 Ark
8 Buoys

Sung Tongs is far and away my favorite, I didn't include EPs

1. Feels - 127 pts
2. SJ - 122 pts
3. Person Pitch - 110 pts
4. MPP - 107 pts

6. Spirit - 63 pts
7. Ark - 54 pts
8. Water Curses - 48 pts
9. Fall Be Kind - 33 pts
10. ODDSAC - 24 pts

Incredible. Excellent work ty for yr service.

I tend to remember that Feels was ALLways the end-of-the-day all time favorite here going WAY back over a decade. Guess some things never change. Notice tho... It did NOT appear on my list!!

1 sung tongs
2 oddsac
3 ark
4 strawberry jam
5 feels
6 mpp
7 hollindagain
8 danse

Poop, I'll do side projects now. I didn't think this through as well as I should have

9 young prayer
10 person pitch

I'm surprised mpp is so low!

No Wastered, yoko?

Lol. I stuck to full lengths, otherwise Wastered would be 2 or 3 and Prospect Hummer would be on there

Wastered is one song (if you only count AC), makes perfect sense to me not to include it in such a list
