In an absolute pinch, should I be required to give my entire EC collection away save for one record, I agree with Noiseradio. Using a different critieria (one that allows me to get my TYM 'fix' periodically to forestall the delerium tremons of withdrawal), then it is a toss-up between Imperial Bedroom and Get Happy. So picked 'breakthrough'.

In this order:
1. Get Happy
2. Imperial Bedroom
3. My Aim Is True
4. Blood & Chocolate
5. Armed Forces
...and just because I like ranking things so much, here's the rest:
6. Trust
7. This Year's Model
8. Painted From Memory
9. The Delivery Man
10. When I Was Cruel
11. Punch The Clock
12. Goodbye Cruel World
13. Spike
I don't have the others (yet).

So far, I've cast the sole vote for TDM, which is my current fave, right up there with King of America, my loooooongtime fave. This speaks, I guess, to the vague "American influence" of both. Don't know if it will stay in the top spot but I honestly feel it will always be in the top 2-3, depending, of course, on all those future albums. . .the great unknown.

Yes, even if it is a song by Carol King (which I shall always associate with Heinz ketchup).mood swung wrote:It's all about anticipation.

my tops pretty much concur with wardo68, with the exception of the delivery man, which i have to put in my top 5. with the koa reissue coming and sure to be a staple in my cd player for the next six months or so (isn't that the way with elvis cd's! one sticks in my cd player forever and then is totally replaced by another and so on), though, i may have to squeeze out one of the others.
1. get happy
2. trust
3. imperial bedroom
4. the delivery man
5. blood and chocolate

I'm not angry anymore....
I can't pick just one but my top four are, The Delivery man, Cruel Smile, Imperial Bedroom and Blood and Chocolate.
I wonder what that says about me....(like on those magazine surveys)... based on your choices we can tell that you are cynical, pessimistic, bitter and downright dark, if things don't change, you'll probably end up in a corner sucking your thumb like a small child.
Now if you had choosen, Trust, My Aim is True and, Get Happy .......
