    “Holocene” may be my favorite song left in the bracket.

    Both records are in my top 25. Ugh, tough one.

    D'oh! Prestigious

    Too hard to choose this time around, both records serving me for a different decade of growth as my taste in music went.

    This is Bon Iver for me haha.

    Kid A easily for me.

    I've been struggling with this one but it's kind of dumb cus I definitely like Kid A more, but I guess my problem is that I'm just not a massive Radiohead fan. The only albums of theirs I really go back to much are Kid A and OK Computer, so I don't always get the huge reaction for them

    Pleasantly surprised here, I definitely thought the sentiment on this site was that BI, BI is JV's most genius work and that Kid A, while great, has had its reputation propped up by the music media. I do think the BI album is good, but it's never moved me the way it does others. And Kid A is for me every bit as revolutionary as people said it was in 2000.

    This is definitely the sentiment in my brain!

  12. I think I'm partial to 22, A Million, but self-titled is very, very good. Great, even. But yes, Kid A remains a game-changers and a very special record. This one is close, though.

    There does seem to be a growing 22, A Million contingent. I go in waves on that one. I think it's mostly great, if a little disjointed/struggling through some growing pains, whereas I think BI, BI doesn't have a single false note. I'd still take For Emma over 22, A Million.

    I'd take Emma over BI, BI any day as well. Nothing on that touches the highs of Re: Stacks, Flume or For Emma.

    My five favorite Bon Iver songs are (and have been since 2011) "Blindsided," "Re: Stacks," "Perth," "Holocene," and "Beth/Rest."
