The only reason this one stood out was because of the high-point remark. Still, there are worse crimes than inconsistency.Mike Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06039663158335543317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7621501513493185029.post-84147716583493473932010-10-27T10:14:53.845-04:002010-10-27T10:14:53.845-04:00Again, I'm still wrestling with this.

As I say in the box at right, it's all based on my whims, and can change at any time.wardohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07825405583474881509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7621501513493185029.post-44560079222612126922010-10-27T09:39:55.295-04:002010-10-27T09:39:55.295-04:00Hmm, still not following that -- how can X be the ...Hmm, still not following that -- how can X be the high point if Y is the better album?<br /><br />(Also: how can anyone tire of Private Investigations before Les Boys?

Yes, it's a great album, but you have to admit that it's heavily front-loaded.)Mike Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06039663158335543317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7621501513493185029.post-73390996751435298742010-10-27T09:37:06.810-04:002010-10-27T09:37:06.810-04:00I wrestled with that, and wrestled with that.
