At least he made the distinction to say "favorite" and not "best". Because we all know how that goes down.

phenomenal choices.

phenomenal choices.

hell yeah man

[matchbox202006]

flaming commenced. puddle of mudd is the 2nd worst band on the face of the earth.

you know, i wasn't going to defend this but here it goes: there was a moment in time when i realized that how bad a band is doesn't automatically make every album they record, a sucky album. Puddle of Mudd is not the best band, and Volume 4:Songs in the Key of Love and Hate is by far their worst album yet. But, i enjoyed listening to a new record by them since i enjoyed Famous so much (it finally brought back the bands "hooks")and Life On Display was such a dissapointment. Nothing will top Come Clean, a higly generic but enjoyable rock record, andVolume 4 missteps completley by bieng their most generic, raunchy set list yet. Still, "Spaceship" is a stupid-catchy single and honestly, i'm a sucker for hooks so that's why this record one of my favorites. The stupid-hooky songs are on Volume 4: and i love it.
