You love 'em like they're your children. Now choose which one you love best, second best and third best.

Hey, don't forget about All Shook Down and Don't Tell A Soul. Those two albums kind of trigger an emotional response that only Let It Be can match. Maybe not for the purists but those two records are on my turntable more often than the ones you mentioned. Although I do play Can't Hardly Wait every two days. I'm a sucker for those horns.

Some people here prefer the earlier albums too but this poll just focuses on those three records. So you play LPs on a turntable, and like lift the needle onto Can't Hardly Wait every two days? Cool. |

As much as I like the others I would agree that these are the top 3. I always loved the raw energy of PTMM and it is still my fav. Tim and LIB are close second but LIB gets my nod for second based on the strength of Answering Machine and Unsatisfied. Something about the sound on Tim too that loses it a few points though I think the album as a whole is more consistent.

Let It Be is my stock answer for favorite album of all-time. I Will Dare and Answering Machine are perfect bookends...I just love it.
Tough call between Tim or PTMM. I think Tim is slightly more consistent as a whole, but Can't Hardly Wait & Valentine reach such highs that I have to rank PTMM #2.

Tim would have been an all time classic if they had made 3 simple changes. Exclude I'll Buy and Lay it down clown and insert Nowhere is my home and Can't hardly wait. Then ............get a goddamn new cover. Those drawings SUCK! They remind me of highschool art class. There, Tim is now the masterpiece that would have propelled them to great fame and fortune  |

Im sure Im in the minority but I prefer Hootnanny more then Tim. Hootnanny and Let it Be are almost like Vol 1 and 2 kind of sort of. PTMM is a brilliant piece of work though. I first heard it when I was working in a So Cal sandwich shop and an older women invited me to her place for beers. In my stupid youthfulness I somehow managed not to score. Young and Dumb I guess. To this day when I hear Valentine I think about the Large Ham Salami Combination with italian oil and pepperoncinis and Salt and Vinegar Chips.

There, Tim is now the masterpiece that would have propelled them to great fame and fortune That's five changes and I disagree with all of them but who's counting? You can't have Tim without I'll Buy. It puts one foot in Tin Pan Alley and grinds the heel. And even if you hate it, Lay It Down Clown serves a purpose, a higher purpose, on that album. It's like when something very bad happens, and you ask, how could God let this happen, but it's all in His plan. Accept Lay It Down Clown into your life. Don't fall into the clutches of warbly-sounding fifteenth-generation tapes of "Nowhere Is My Home." The art ... well the cover does kind of suck, but look at the back for what else they had. I mean the picture's smaller than a baseball card and the focus is already shot. And high school art by a top-rank NYC artiste is quite a coup, really. |

Don't fall into the clutches of warbly-sounding fifteenth-generation tapes of "Nowhere Is My Home." Sorry, but I have the Boink release (UK) on vinyl with Nowhere.. preserved in all it's pristine glory. How that got left off of Tim is beyond me. And HOW in the hell do you (the Mats) pass over the kick ass Can't Hardly Wait that they've been playing live since '84 for crap like LIDC and I'll buy? This was their major label debut and they blew their chance at an alltime classic release. Just my frustrated opinion is all. |

i find myself agreeing with the person that preferred hootenanny to tim. i remember reading an article on pavement years ago where malkimus credits treatment bound as their lo fi inspiration. i also remember paul complaining that guy from the ramones who produced tim was deaf (and you don't need to be deaf to hear that) and besides the bob problems, i've a live recording that came out with the 12" / promo of achin' to be and there's a version of here comes a regular where you can the crowd singing along so fucking loudly that it's too corny and sycophantic to stomach. little mascara is cracker though.
