      For all of the ones that I have listened to, I couldn’t agree more. If you are putting them in order, I would have put Guero at the top. I have always liked Beck, but this album is the one I will always come back to. I wasn’t a huge fan of Death Cab, except for a song here and there. I would probably put their new album in a very close second to Beck’s. I can’t get enough of Plans.

      Thanks, Adrian. This helps me figure out how to spend the iTunes gift cards (yeah!) I got for Christmas.
