About every two months (or less) I list my ten favorite albums as it changes. This time, I've got a three way tie up front for my favorite. Which one of them is the best? I'm not sure, they're all too good.

1 (part of the tie). "Vs" by Pearl Jam

Standouts- "Daughter", "Animal", "Rearviewmirror", "Go", "Glorified G"

2. (1) "Siamese Dream" by The Smashing Pumpkins

Standouts- "Mayonaise", "Geek USA", "Cherub Rock", "Hummer", "Disarm"

3. (1) "Blood Sugar Sex Magik" by The Red Hot Chili Peppers

Standouts- "Under the Bridge", "I Could Have Lied", "The Power of Equality", "Suck My Kiss", "Give it Away"

BTW, Elmis, I still don't see how TPOE is a rip-off of "Been Caught Stealing". Explain how it's the same and I'll probably catch it.

4. "Badmotorfinger" by Soundgarden

Honorable Mention (11-20): "Gish" by Smashing Pumpkins, "Ten" by Pearl Jam, "The Uplift Mofo Party Plan" by The Red Hot Chili Peppers, "Foo Fighters" (I can't figure out if this or "The Colour and the Shape" is better, but I'll put this one because I'd rather listne to it right now) by Foo Fighters, "Superunknown" by Soundgarden, "Ritual de lo Habitual" by Jane's Addiction, "Libertad" by Velvet Revolver, "Axis: Bold As Love" by The Jimi Hendrix Experience, "Suffer" by Bad Religion

EDIT:

Things that are pissing me off:

1. My new Big Muff distortion pedal arrived today. I excitedly plugged it in, only to find out I had received a defective pedal. I took it to Dietx Bros. (local guitar store) and they send to send it back. F*****g electro-harmonix.

2. I have an essay to write for current events by Tuesday.

3. My algebra teacher is a mental sadist, which means she enjoys watching our minds in pain. She needs to be a College professor.

4. I REALLY want to return and order a new BIg Muffm but Sweetwater is being a dick and is closed before 5 o'clock because they're lazy f*****s.

More to come.
