Yeah, it's good. My boss had it once and made it sound like a complete reinvention of the sandwich. He's an idiot.

He said, "Guys, I went to this place. This sandwich place. On 47th. Oh my god. First of all... they give you like, a whole baguette, and then they just pile all this fucking stuff on there. Whatever you want! Just all this shit and it's all fresh. Man!"

We said,... "Oh... so, like a sandwich a Subway?"

"No, man. They give you a baguette!"

"Oh... so like a fancy subway?"

I would blindly buy an album that had your avatar for the cover art, Higgs. No text on the front or spine. Just that face.

This purports to be a cross-section of every musical genre. I don't know about that, but it's fun to play with:

Celebration Rock podcast did an episode about the "Five Albums Test," which is sort of a weird and arbitrary way of gauging greatness. The idea is to be a great band, they must have a strung together 5 good to great albums in a row. Again, it's arbitrary and unnecessarily exclusive because bands like Nirvana don't even apply... but it is a fun and kinda challenging way to structure a conversation.

Using that "test" would Pearl Jam be a great band? The Rolling Stones? The Beatles? Are there albums that I like but that just aren't great?

I can't wait to finish listening to the podcast discussion and then try to apply that to the bands I listen to most.

interesting. i think you bring up a fair question: what is the definition of "great"? critically acclaimed? personal preference?

for instance, i think No Code is a great album, but i doubt the majority of music fans do.

Yeah, seems like a pretty flimsy measure. I would deem the run of Vitalogy-Riot Act to be great, but that's like my opinion man.

I think you mean Ten-Riot Act.

If MD is not a huge fan of Vs, then I'm not sure what that means for our friendship.

Totally. It's all subjective, obviously.

The host and Rob Sheffield have a conversation about Beatles For Sale. Sheffield insists its a great album that is underrated by fans. The host mostly disagrees and thinks that fans have elevated it because it's the most universally underrated Beatles album.

It's a super flimsy measure, for sure. That's why it's more interesting to me as a game or a hypothetical than any sort of real attempt at measurement.

Some great bands haven't even released five albums FFS
