The one album
billiumbean:
Not for me. I've only discovered them recently. In a way, I'm just trying to get as tired of them as you seem to be.

If somebody walked up to me in the street and asked that I would be so stunned I wouldn't be able to say anything for at least five minutes.

Cracking post, although I'd disagree on the Maiden and Priest albums. Best Priest is between Painkiller or (the one I feel is probably the best to start with), Screaming for Vengeance. And although I couldn't really decide on a best Maiden one, I'd argue that one or two tracks aside, FOTD is the worst Maiden album.
Good call on Angel Dust though, that's a batshit-crazy-awesome album!

Re: Neutral Milk Hotel Discussion
On Avery Island, while fantastic, is not the one I would play for someone trying to get into them. At least, if I did, I would skip over the noise experiments, or whatever. I find it hard to imagine anyone who wasn't predisposed to enjoy that kind of thing would get pretty much loathe "Pree-Sisters Swallowing a Donkey's Eye." I usually don't even listen to it.
The thing, I think, that makes In the Aeroplane Over the Sea superior to the majority is the oneness of it. It's got this feeling of unity and wholeness that makes all the songs come together and form this piece of art that even if it is a portrait of the life of Anne Frank, the lyrics are obtuse enough that you can miss it entirely.
