Are you sure? When you import the CD into iTunes it has the year listed as 2001. Did they re-issue it or something?

It's 1999.

You're right, I just looked into it some more. Somehow I overlooked Jets To Brazil when I made my list, so I'll fix that.

Bleed American came out in 2001 around 9/11. That's why they changed the title to "Jimmy Eat World." Sometimes iTunes gets release dates wrong. Actually they make lots of error. One time they accidentally sold me 115 Smashing Pumpkins for $9.99.

115 seperate songs? Or did they release something by that name? I couldn't find anything.

Yeah, I checked back the next day to see if it was still up, but they corrected the error by then.

I can't even choose a favourite decade, I like each for their different characteristics. I might say the 00s if someone put a gun to my head.

I've heard of that HUM album from a number of people and I almost bought it a while ago, but I didn't. What's it like? I've never heard them before.

**Sean** · 07-12-2007, 10:32 PM

I'm fairly positive I'd have a really hard time making my lists, but I'm also fairly certain I would choose the 90s.

Zooropa · 07-12-2007, 11:06 PM

I've noticed a lot of us putting The Queen Is Dead at or near the top of the 80s, and Born to Run at the top of the 70s. Also, many seem to favor Revolver as far as Beatles albums go.

**bread man** · 07-12-2007, 11:10 PM

That's because those albums rule.
