Since we got a contingent of S-K fans (RIP :( ), I'd like to hear which one is your favorite and why.

For me, I'm gonna go with "One Beat" since that was the very first album I heard out of them. For me, it was one of the first protest albums relating to 9/11 to come out, and during an environment where supposedly nobody was speaking out (this was 2002), it was refreshing to hear Sleater-Kinney address our fucked up times. And it was BEFORE them damn Dixie Chicks. ;)

There isn't a weak album in their catalogue, but that one will resonate with me the strongest.

How about you?

The 2002 one because that's the only one I've heard. What I heard of the woods was ok, though.

It was a friend in London who got me onto them. He was probably one of the lazier, smellier chaps you'll meet. An actual galoot.

The Woods was perfect, but I probably have the strongest emotional connection to All Hands on the Bad One. I only got to hear the songs from The Woods live once. :( And it was right after it came out so I wasn't into it yet. But it's the better album.

"All Hands on the Bad One" as I tend to connect records with touring periods and this is when they were at their very best live,before Janet Weiss's arthritis had started to have significant impact on her health.....:(
