YLAOM is the only one I voted for, enough to scratch the occasional itch of hearing bland songs played way too loud.

I found myself enjoying the Beyond/Farm/Sky run more than I thought I would.

Special Mention to the Fossils E.P. fount that used in a thrift store as a youngster and played the hell out of that record. I love the abrupt ending to the Just Like Heaven. I assume the tape ran out, but I like to think that J. was like "That's enough"

I was a big fan in the 90s, kinda faded away a bit, when Beyond came out it really rekindled my love for the band. I should revisit Sky, it left me a little cold, but Beyond and Farm knocked me out, really great "reunion records."

YLAOM > Bug > Dinosaur > Beyond
The Mascis-only and recent records don't do much for me. J. did inspire me to own a full stack.

YLAOM
"The Wagon"
Bug
Where You Been
Yeah, I'm just pulling out "The Wagon" as I think that's easily the best thing Mascis has written after the initial Lou era.
Never really got hooked by any of the reunion records.

Have yet to check out the reunion records. W/ that said, I am struggling to pick 4.
1. YLAOM - genuine classic, I think the noise and rock elements mix very well w/ THE FORMULA (T.M.) they'd do to death w/ severely diminishing returns going forward. Even by Bug it's a drag and by Green Mind the albums are just a fucking chore to get through.
2.Hand It Over - sorta dull songs still but sonically massive and that's gotta count for something and it's a league better than the altern-rock-aor dross that is Without a Sound.
3. Dinosaur - very quirky and fun and THE FORMULA (T.M.) isn't fully settled down so there's a lot of variety here so it's a genuinely entertaining listen.
