Well, in answer to both your and Grant's questions, one of my all-time
favourite albums is `Copperopolis' by Grant Lee Buffalo. `Bethlehem Steel'
is simply one of the most beautiful and mysterious songs ever. However, I am
the only person in the known universe who likes it. The critics weren't too
keen on it, it didn't sell wonderfully ... even Grant Lee Buffalo themselves
now denounce it (I'm tempted to say `Even their MOTHERS didn't like it' (: )
But somehow ... this makes me love it even more, because it's mine and only
mine.

P.S. The rest of my Top 5 would have to include:
Gish - Smashing Pumpkins
Murmur - REM
Harvest - Neil Young
Sound as Ever - You Am I (YES! The local contingent - and you MUST check
them out!!!)
& so on & so on ...
