I think we need a new category called "Gun to the Head" where you have to say your fave/worst as if you had a gun pointed at your head and had to answer as concisely as poss with as little procrastanation. This would help "Best of" lists no-end I reckon.

Yeah I would have to go with "In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country". "Aquarius" has strong nostalgia pull (and how meta it is to feel nostalgia for a BoC track) but IABPOITC has the slight edge of disquiet I loved so much about the Geogaddi era. Still my favourite of their albums.

yeah i bought this when it came out just because it was $5 new. hadn't really connected with MHTRTC but after the first ten seconds of "kid for today" and i was like "ohhhh i get these guys now.. awesome *gets all blissed out*".
― a but (brimstead), Monday, 21 November 2016 18:03 (seven years ago) link

Olson is sort of packaged with Pete Standing Alone.. it's a great part of MHTRTC. An Eagle in Your Mind is high on my list, too.. it just has that subtle, loaded quality.
― braunld (Lowell N. Behold'n), Monday, 21 November 2016 20:25 (seven years ago) link
If you've never heard Mira Calix and Oliver Coates' version of IABPOITC - enjoy.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bD9WyWzbcS0

Oh goddamnit, how could I forgot their utterly brilliant remix of cLOUDDEAD's Dead Dogs Two?
It's just a remix, but it's so much more than that - it vastly improves upon the original song, has wholly unique bits and that classic A Day In the Life ending.
Also their remixes of Poppyseed are also POO worthy. Ugh... these guys are too good.
― octobeard, Tuesday, 22 November 2016 04:24 (seven years ago) link
Remix of Beck's "Broken Drum" is fantastic too.

― massaman gai, Wednesday, 23 November 2016 11:44 (seven years ago) link
xp Music Is Math is so great.
My top ten:
1. In A Beautiful Place Out In The Country2. Music Is Math3. Aquarius4. ROYGBIV5. 19696. '84 Pontiac Dream7. Olsen8. Happy Cycling9. Zoetrope10. Telepath
Very heavily weighted to their first two albums but that's cos I just didn't enjoy the Campfire Headphase and while I really like Tomorrow's Harvest, I can't really think of specific tracks that stand out.
― Lennon, Elvis, Hendrix etc (dog latin), Wednesday, 23 November 2016 13:50 (seven years ago) link
Nothing is Real is my favorite off of Tomorrow's Harvest.
― what_have_you, Wednesday, 23 November 2016 17:06 (seven years ago) link

As for whole discography, probably a toss up between Music is Math and Happy Cycling.

Playing Tomorrow's Harvest currently. Their second-best album.
― death generator (lukas), Monday, 20 June 2022 20:43 (one year ago) link
There's two - and honestly the reprise is my fav of the two.
But the best BoC remix by FAR in my book is their remix of Dead Dogs Two. Am I weird thinking these guys have a thing for Oakland? Their remixes of cLOUDDEAD (Dead Dogs Two being a particularly poignant homage to Oakland in its own way) and Odd Nosdam tracks and the cover of Tomorrow's Harvest snapping SF from the vantage point of Alameda... maybe just coincidence.
