I picked Either/Or for the poll, but it's really three-way almost a tie for me among Either/Or, F#A#, and The Colour and the Shape, with Dude Ranch right after.

Oddly enough, I listened to TCATS for the first time in a long time late last night as I was driving. It was warm, the windows were down, and when I glanced at my speed halfway through the album I was an easy 45mph over. Glad I didn't get pulled over or I'd have to blame it all on Grohl.

Same here. 3EB's self-titled was my first album bought with my own money, and is no less treasured today than it was 12 years ago, so it got my vote. Foo Fighters didn't come until later for me, but that is such a great record.
