    Dude has 20 albums, so making a poll won't do. Probably going to do a lot of older artists going forward in the same format.

    Rank em, tell us why, or just pick one.

    Link to all of the other polls here. You can leave suggestions for new polls there or here. Whatevs.

    yeah i think, Darkness might have eclipsed BTR as my favorite, but I probably return to single songs on BTR more so than any other.

    Western Stars also really, really, really grew on me. One of my most played albums of 2019.

    Doing older artists in these threads sounds like a blast, though. Hopefully will encourage some explorations of deep catalogs.

    I always struggled with the idea because I figured it'd be @cshadows2887 talking to one or two people and the threads dying. Hopefully we get a lot of interaction.

    I think his only studio albums I've heard in full have been Nebraska, Born In The USA, and Wrecking Ball. Not my cup of tea. I really enjoy Live 1975–85, though.

    I have such a soft spot for Nebraska. I can’t necessarily point out why but I always gravitate to it when asked
