For me, it's a little less mainstream, and pretty much narrowed down to a pair of albums:

Elliott Smith - Figure 8 (I'd say this is better than A Basement on the Hill because it wasn't, y'know, posthumously edited and finished)
Silverchair - Diorama (There is just so much stuff on this album, and it fits together so nicely)

Elephant gets alot of hype, and deservingly so, but I think De Stijl is their best album.

Also, I can't believe we have gone this far and haven't mentioned "The Battle of Los Angeles" by RATM. I am a huge RATM homer, but that is a great...great album.

Edit: Battle of Los Angeles came out in 1999, nevermind.

**CRcyclone6** · 12-11-2009, 10:34 AM

No KISS "Sonic Boom"?

It's hard for me to pick out my favorite White Stripes album so I'm more inclined to look at the songs I listen to most and very few of them are on De Stijl. I like some of them just not my favorites.

Hardest Button to Button-Elephant
Astro/Jack the Ripper-Under Blackpool Lights-This is just a jam song
Seven Nation Army-Elephant
Hotel Yorba-White Blood Cells
Blue Orchid-Get Behind me Satan
Dead Leaves-White Blood Cells
Jolene-Orpheum Theatre, Boston (Live
It's My Fault for Being Famous-Conquest - EP
Little Bird-De Stijl
Carolina Drama-The Raconteurs
