Engineer

Yeah it seems like most Discount fans I talk to feel that way. I'd guess she was slamming junk back into the late Discount days as well, as the one time I saw them at the First Unitarian Church here in Philly, she was clearly on something beyond the normal realm of substance abuse. Sucks but they still played great.

I don't like the early Kills stuff at all but I think Midnight Boom is awesome and I really like the Dead Weather so far, but it seems even less people are into them than the Kills.

Also went back and edited in the Reminder by Feist. I think that is the end of my list retconing.

Thank ya! I already edited in a few things I forgot since you quoted me there... two Pedro The Lion albums, an Orchid album I thought had been mentioned earlier, and Jonathan Mann's Mario Opera.

Absolutely love Allison Mosshart, was lucky enough to see Discount twice when I was younger. I've enjoyed her stuff since then (obviously) but Discount will always be my favorite band she did.

A couple more I don't think I've seen mentioned. Gotta back up the vast majority of these lists, plenty of great stuff mentioned so far. I tried to keep off splits and EPs unless it was absolutely necessary. Believe it or not I did edit this down a bit from what I put together originally.
