in the beginning the thread was just supposed to be some good natured fun..which it has turned into! but as the thread evolved it turned into fight club! frank black vs black francis. tyler durden wouldn't have wanted it any other way.

4 sounded low so I re-counted. It's actually 5; me, floop, pot, Skatealex and Brank Flack. 12 : 5, ha! Still a real pasting.
But wait, madtempest added a late one for Doolittle making it 12 : 6.
But wait again, I only count 11 solid votes for Teenager; fu, kathryn, moonruler, Arm Arm Arm, Thomas, martha_promise, darwin, Scarla O, Ziggy, BLT and shineoftheever (Jose could still be undecided). All the doubters who said the surge wouldn't work.
What kind of show are you running here fu?

...and also Doolittle is approximately half as long as TOTY, so any vote for it has to multiplied by two, which kind of makes it about even stevens.

Doolittle for me.
Those synths on TOTY are so dated now, whereas Doolittle sounds still fresh to me. |

don't get me wrong, you put the Purple Tape up against TOTY I'd pick the Purple Tape
I guess I like underdogs and Doolittle is no underdog, it's their biggest success. |

this thread is like asking someone to choose their favorite child, which no parent could do, blah blah blah...
but really, if your kids were TOTY and Doolittle, i think in your heart of hearts you'd have a special place for Doolittle. sure, TOTY gets better grades, but who likes a smarty pants? maybe some parents don't like their children having a better vocabulary than them, and lecturing them on inuit cultures and Roman history. Doolittle might not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but he's got spunk. remember that time he got expelled from school for creating an obscene comic book series involving the principal? despite the embarrassment, even you had to admit it was funny |

Hard choice, but going for the sentimental favorite. |

Much as I love TOTY, make mine Doolittle.
(Thank goodness we don't really have to pick one or the other, eh?) |

TOTY is better than Doolittle. 22 songs and not one boring moment. Not many albums like that mes amis. It's as good as Trout Mask Replica.
I enjoy reading people fighting on the net. Pixiesmusic.com had some classic moments let me tell you... |

TOTY. Both have killer tracks, but there's twice as many on Teenager. And it sounds better. The over-compressed midrangey Doolittle seems harsh in comparison....

I've been debating my answer for a week, and still have no conclusion. My vote goes to Dog in the Sand.

Yeah, Face!
If we asked you "Ginger or Mary Ann?" you'd probably say "Mrs. Howell."

I like older women - what can i say?
How about this for a shifty answer - i think if i took the best 15 songs on TOTY, that would beat Doolittle.
