This will be a collective effort to create a best of album… with a twist! The twist is that each album will be matched up against each other by track number. So only Track 1 from one album will be included and so on.
There will be 3 different phases in this process. The first 2 phases will be about making sure each album has the same amount of tracks so that voting in Phase 3 will work out properly. Each album will have to be brought down to 10 tracks (including 1 B-Side/Outtake/Extra Track) before Phase 3 begins.
Rules:
Phase 1: Destruction- This phase is all about REMOVING tracks from albums.
-
We will remove tracks until only 9 remain on each album. Leaving room for 1 B-Side/Outtake/Extra Track to be added later.
-
If an album has 9 or less tracks already it will not be involved until later phases.
-
Openers and closers of albums will not be included in voting until Phase 3. This is to make sure they are in their proper places.
Phase 2: Construction- This Phase is all about ADDING in an extra track(s) to bring the amount of tracks from 9 (or lower) up to 10.
-
Albums with less than 9 tracks originally will have more than 1 added in this Phase to allow them to have the same amount of tracks as the others.
-
The most voted for B-Side/Outtake/Extra Track will be added in the place of the most voted for song that was removed in Phase 1.
-
Remember in this Phase we are voting on what to ADD to the album not to remove.
Phase 3: Contention- This Phase is where each album is put up against all other albums.
-
The best of album will have 2 discs each with 10 tracks so that means only 20 songs will survive.
-
Every track on the best of album must end up with the same track number it had at the end of Phase 2 voting. So on round 1 of Phase 3 all openers will be put up against each other to be the opener of the best of album.
-
Remember in this Phase you are voting for which songs you want ADDED to the album.

>It's not that Brandon Flowers is mean, it's that he knows what he likes and dislikes. He doesn't like Bloc Party but he loves The Strokes. So much, in fact, that when he first heard their album Is This It, the band scrapped nine songs intended for their debut multi-million selling album, Hot Fuss. They saw that the bar had risen and they wanted to hurdle it. That's why, when we're in the basement of the East Village New York bar Niagara, and Fabrizio Moretti of The Strokes leans over to tell Flowers something, it will probably mean more to him than Moretti will ever know" I just want to congratulate you on your success," he tells the 24-year-old singer. Dressed in a T-shirt and cargo shorts, Moretti is accompanied by his girlfriend of several years, actress Drew Barrymore. Today is Fab's birthday, and when it's time to cut the cake, he pulls Flowers into a small room that fits about seven and seats the singer next to him as if he's an old friend. A slice of cake is passed to Flowers who turns to me and says, "I love chocolate cake," as he gobbles it down. It's homemade, presumably by Barrymore. The night carries on.
>Flowers and Morretti spend the entire time together, joined by other members of The Killers, guitarist Dave Keuning and bassist Mark Stoermer (drummer Ronnie Vannucci is back at the hotel with his wife). The group is invited back to an apartment belonging to Ryan Gentils, the manager of The Strokes, which is in the same building as the apartment Moretti and Barrymore share (their apartment is being occupied by Moretti's retired father who is visiting from Italy). Gentils drives us there in a minivan as Barrymore serenades the passengers with songs from the film Team America: World police. From the back of the van, where she is seated with her beau, the former child actress turned media empress chants, "America, F**K YEAH!," which causes Flowers, who has never seen the film, to giggle in sweet disbelief. At this point in his life, Flowers has met them all: Morrissey, Elton John, Bowie, but it's hard to believe the interactions with people he admires were as intimate as this one.
>Sharing a bottle of wine with Fab and Drew outside of their apartment building as the sun rises, Flowers is nothing but smiles in his red velvet jacket. two and a half years ago The Killers were working regular jobs in Las Vegas. Well, as regular as jobs get for that area. Singer Brandon Flowers was working at the Gold Coast

I just want to know WHY?? Why so many all at once! My favorite characters! That DANDY! He is the devil. I'm crying. I loved so many! No happy ending for them! 😭
In 1997, the band released their second album titled “Freak Show”. It would have hits like “Freak”, “Abuse Me” and “The Door”. While it wasn’t as popular as “Frogstomp”, it was a big step for the band. Daniel gave up using that deep voice he used for his previous album and started to sound like himself.
I just finished it and LOVED it (as depressing as it was). It’s my favorite after Asylum. And I love how Pepper connects the two seasons.
Maureen Callahan deserves the Pepino Oscar for these...

How you say . . . totally bats–t loca?
Hilaria Baldwin, outed late last year as neither Spanish nor interesting, has now doubled down on Instagram, claiming that she — as Walt Whitman and Bob Dylan before her — contains multitudes.
Hilaria just can’t let it all die down, lest her fame, such as it is, disappear.
And so we have the Rachel Dolezal of the Hamptons doubling down online, lecturing us ignoramuses on concepts such as “fluidity” and “curation,” invalidation and normalization and all the other junk jargon that permeates college campuses and the cringe-y online self-affirmations of the rampantly insecure.
Make no mistake: Hilaria is not only not sorry, but she equates her struggle here to that of civil rights
From a 2018 Hola! Magazine cover story: “Hilaria, who was born in Spain, has made certain to raise her children with her native language, Spanish.”
¡Ay dios mio!
Hilaria Baldwin
Hilaria Baldwin was born in Boston.
Between compulsively pumping out babies, posing with said babies in creepy-sexy yoga selfies, dabbling in entertainment journalism and Hollywood-adjacent pursuits, walking endless red carpets despite zero interest in fame herself — ¡nada! — being Spanish was all the one-time Hillary Lynn Hayward-Thomas, born and raised in Massachusetts, talked about.
Lest we forget husband Alec’s weird, self-congratulatory assertions that “my wife is from Spain” — as he told David Letterman back in 2013.
And, of course, her own personal Zapruder film, that great “Today” show segment in which she, no chef but teaching us all how to cook, another shifty and grifty claim — uttered this, in a Spanish accent:
“How you say in Eng — cucumber?”
You can watch it on a loop. It never gets old.

How you say in English … Just shut up and go away?
After parading around Vermont all weekend, staging a bizarre, impromptu roadside press conference and then posting happy-family Halloween portraits on Instagram, Alec Baldwin and his insufferable fraud of a wife eee-LAR-ia have lost any public sympathy they once had.
Boom. Gone. All in about a week. Baldwin’s everywhere: hitting the town Wednesday night in a tux, dining with his fraudu
... keep reading on reddit ➡Currently starting EP 7 and holy shit knowing all what hasn't happened yet but is about to in the final 4 episodes...this season is absolutely incredible. I really feel like the first five seasons were true AHS and while I'm way higher on Roanoke than a lot of other I just feel like the cinematography/vibe after Hotel was a different show. The overhead shots of the camp/the character development/the straight up despair and misery...Freak Show is a spectacle without a doubt.
I mean I hate that I’m so invested in this but I want to just see it so we can all make fun of it already. She’s purposely not showing it now and it’s really annoying me 🤬🤬🤬
