You see what happens?!?! Top 11 albums of all time already changed. To save face of sorts, I will have two number 10 spots.

Number 10: SILVER JEWS - AMERICAN WATER

This album came right out of nowhere and blew me away. I got into Starlite Walker quite a bit back in highschool. I was thumbing through the Pavement section of Encore Records in Kitchener, and saw that album with an image of Bob and Malkmus on the back. Bought it, and played Sonic The Hedgehog every day with that cd on repeat. This was fun but the issue now is I always think about fuckin Sonic when I hear Trains Across the Sea.

American Water came a little bit after me getting into Starlite. Once this album sunk its teeth in, it was almost impossible to turn off. Every song is so fucking good. Smith and Jones Forever is the obvious first hit that catches your ear, but once Send in the Clouds, Like Like The The The Death and The Wild Kindness sets it, its game over. I also remember reading reviews for this album online which led me to pitchforkmedia's website for the first time. Back in the day when it wasnt over run by douche bags and their reviews were kept to 500 words or less. Not like the 500 paragraphs they run these days (4 of which actually deal with the album in question.)

Check out this classic. So good.
