Ok, so below is a list of acts confirmed for the 2006 Lollapalooza fest. I would like to see what people consider the best albums by each artist (of course, if they only have one...). So go down the list and put your favorite album by each artist. If you don't like an artist, just write "Shit" and move on. Happy scribing...

Kanye West
Wilco

Red Hots--The consensus would be Blood Sugar Sex Magik, but personally I've always preferred its predecessor Mother's Milk. A bit harder.

Flaming Lips--Have to go with The Soft Bulletin. An all-time classic album.

Sonic Youth--Don't listen to anyone who says Dirty. It's Daydream Nation, no contest.

Sleater-Kinney--I thought The Woods was last year's best album, but you could take One Beat as well, which is closer to the S-K "classic" sound.

Thievery Corporation--Would have to say The Mirror Conspiracy, but they're all pretty damned great and will give you a good primer for checking them out.

Ween--Tough call. My first instinct is to say Pure Guava, but the double live album Paining the Town Brown might be a good choice.

Wilco--I'm one of the few who won't say Yankee Hotel Foxtrot and suggest another double album, Being There. VERY little filler.

Death Cab For Cutie--my housemate is a huge fan and he swears by We Have The Facts and We're Voting Yes.

Common--Like Water For Chocolate. Pre-hippie Common. Amazing album.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers - money's on BSSM, but I'd go with Californication still

Kanye West - I definitely think Late Registration was better than College Dropout

Wilco - take both Yankee Hotel Foxtrot and Being There, I can't get it down to one

the Shins - oh, inverted world

Death Cab For Cutie - tough one, but I'd say The Photo Album

the Raconteurs - only one record

Flaming Lips - gotta agree with Soft Bulletin

Broken Social Scene - You Forgot It In People (thanks lmj

)

Secret Machines - STILL haven't listened to new record, but you can't beat Now Here Is Nowhere

Stars - maybe I'm in the minority, but I prefer Set Yourself On Fire to Heart

Iron & Wine - definitely Our Endless Numbered Day, but don't forget the Woman King EP
