I'd have to go w/ Pod. That was Britt Walford on drums, right?

Last Splash. Not a bad song on it.

wow, this is a tough one..

i've owned last splash and title tk for years, but i just recently got pod, so the novelty and all....but i think in the end i'll like last splash more. but only time will tell...

"Pod".

"Last Splash" is great, but "Pod" is perfect.

What is the rule with quotes, anyway? Song and story titles, but book and album titles get underlined?

Ok - Pod.

Song and story titles get quotes. If possible, as here, the titles of albums and novels and movies get italicized. If italicization isnt possible, then yes, underlining more than suffices.

since "cannonball" was my favorite single of the decade, i will go with the _last splash_ for the album of the breeders to have over the others

My normal style (I don't know if it is A.P. style or not) is that when discussing songs, their titles are inside quotation marks and album titles are underlined or in italics. If albums are being mentioned, with no mention of individual songs, then I use album titles in quotation marks or no special demarcation at all.

I think of it as an outline, with topics in quotation marks and sub-topics italicised, if there is a possibility of confusion, but otherwise just normal typing.

Song titles, short stories, poems (unless book-length), essays (and magazine or newspaper articles) all go in quotes although a lot of people seem to use italics for poems.

Book titles, album titles, book-length poems, movies, periodicals, and names of ships all should be italicized.

An easy rule-of-thumb is that if it's a portion of a longer piece, it goes in quotes; if it's a complete entity in and of itself, italicize (or underline). I realize that songs, poems, and stories are "complete" entities, but more often than not they are ultimately grouped together.

When italics are unavailable, I tend to replace them with single quotes while using double-quotes as advised above. I have no idea why I do this.[/i]

last splash had a more instantly likeable effect with its more solid sound and songs, but ultimately the sparseness of the pod sound stood up to time for my ears - the more immediate songs of last splash very quickly lost their novelty for me

pod every time

Last Splash boy.

The best constantly found used cd of all time.
