Mine would be In Rainbows, Kid A, OK Computer, Amnesiac, King of Limbs, Hail to the Thief, The Bends, Pablo Honey.

Think King of Limbs is underrated and The Bends is overrated.

Paramore

Taking Back Sunday
This one gets me a lot of **** from TBS fans because the low ranking of what is an undisputed classic pop-punk/emo album and the high ranking of what is universally considered their worst album (New Again). Oh well :laugh:

Where You Want to Be - 10/10
New Again - 8.5/10
Happiness Is - 8.5/10
Louder Now - 7.5/10
Tell All Your Friends - 7.5/10

5. Yield
6. Riot Act
7. Binaural
