If that is all you have heard from AFI, you really need to hear more of the earlier hardcore days. Honestly, that's all I really ever feel like listening to from them anymore. I wore the **** out of Sing the Sorrow (which should have been at least second in your list) so I can't listen to that anymore, and everything after was total crap.

Ribbons, I'm impressed you can remeraber the songs on each album well enough to rank them!!

Were there particular songs on each one that made you develop a preference for one album over another? Or are you really just considering each album as a whole, Liz?
 
Wow, No More Shall We Part as Nick Cave's best? sure I like it, but I'd never put it above Henrys Dream or Murder BallaRAB myself
 
Not going to go back and see if people have done these before:

The Smiths
The World Won't Listen>The Queen Is Dead>Strangeways, Here We Come>Hatful of Hollow>Meat Is Murder>S/T

Radiohead
In Rainbows>The BenRAB>HTTT>Kid A>OK Computer>Pablo Honey>Amnesiac

And just for kicks:
Green Day
American Idiot>Nimrod>Kerplunk!>Dookie>Warning>Insomniac
 
Volume 4 is far too low. They never successfully mixed progression with heaviness as well as they did on that album with anything else they did.
 
Bjork
Debut > Vespertine >Homogenic > Post > Volta > Selmasongs > Medulla > Drawing restraint 9

The let down of 'Post' was 'It's oh so quiet'. One of the rare times when I physically cannot bear to listen to Bjork... (I'm now going to sit back and wait for the 'I can NEVER physically listen to Bjork' comments. ;))

Kate Bush
HounRAB of Love > The Kick Inside > The Sensual World > The red Shoes > Lionheart > Ariel

Groove Armada
Goodbye Country (Hello Nightclub) > Northern Star > Vertigo > Love Box > Soundboy Rocks
 
Hi, Erica! I think that, overall, it's the way the songs stack up for me - I tend to be a little bit more of a "song" person. The unique exception is the White Album, which I like for its stylistic variety but less so for individual songs. Revolver is my #1 because it has great songs AND stylistic innovation.

It was difficult to rank the albums, but easy to remeraber the songs because they're so ingrained in my consciousness. I've been a Beatles nut all of my life! :)
