@4 Thanks for your input, but literally everyone else in the world loves this column and we're not canceling it.

Dave Segal is definitely behind the Chrome recommendation, or I'll eat my hat.

really not trying to troll here, my frizzelle, but the funnyness was "wow look at this oddball we stumbled across. Now its kinda just frustrating that the stranger is giving ink space to yet another writer tasked with writing a music article, that knows not alot about music. and yes this was my favorite thing ever when it first came out...but now I hate it! poor girl!

I'm glad you know alot of people that like it. just my two cents.

Would love to know her take on either Scraping Foetus Off the Wheel or Atari Teenage Riot.

And then give her some Dead Can Dance or This Mortal Coil.

Glad the correct answer is winning, though I hope they all make it in the end. I still love this series, and I'm glad there are enough weird but legendary albums out there to keep it going forever.

@6: I hope your hat is made of something delicious...

@7: "Not trying to troll here" says the Unregistered Commenter. Haha!

The Slits would probably result in a more entertaining read, but if the goal is to make Anna a more musically better rounded person, then Zen Arcade.

i vote chrome because i can't take it all the way through, just like trout mask replica.

I'd like to see Anna review the entire Cremaster cycle. It's movies, not albums, but still. She can start with this little number involving the Slayer drummer and some bees: Johnny Cash.

At the Gates "Slaughter of the Soul"

It's hard to beat the classic Led Zeppelin "Zoso". Since that really isn't the name, I'll bet she hasn't heard of it.

Mike picked Chrome, Dave picked Hüsker Dü, and Emily picked the Slits.

I love this column, but [like everything written for the Stranger's music section] it would be nice if it was about music made by people younger than baby boomers. I imagine every Line Out writer looks like Tom Brokaw.

You know, there's very important music from the past 5, 10, 15 years... and even being made right now!

I don't know anything about any of those bands so I picked the one with the fun sounding name.

Whenever people are like "I like Zen Arcade except Song X and Song Y," I never understand it. I ALWAYS listen to that album front-to-back, and always enjoy every second of it.

Also "Pink Turns to Blue" is the best song.

I think it would be fun to give this poll a theme—maybe one week we have everyone vote on three NW artists (considered to be important by music nerds). Wipers, Melvins, Bikini Kill... though Olympia would probably need a poll of it's very own.

Or genres! Grunge edition? Hip Hop edition? Ska edition? Metal edition?

Or years! 1987 edition? What happened that year? Something must have happened that year.

@19: Everyone knows I look more like Matt Lauer.

@ 22..agreed. It's a start to finish experience.

Time for some Chrome, cold clammy ballot box bombing.

1987 was the release of motherfucking Trio! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyPaspA66…

I definitely think we should do some selections by genre. Perhaps we start with this: http://www.allmusic.com/style/sophisti-p…

@23 - I like the theme idea!

Anna should review Chrome, just so we can read what happens to her the second TV as Eyes comes on... Husker Du is so meat and potatoes. Slits is great, but I think she'll "get" it out of 10.

@ 11, what are you talking about? Chrome is in third place.

Seattle music fans can be a boring, predictable bunch some days.

@28..Husker Du IS so meat & potatoes...which is why it should be the choice. It is essential

I love this column. But after all of her awesome writing and coverage, maybe the disclaimer will soon need to be updated to "claimed to know nothing about music".

True. And we write about new music (some that's not even out yet!) every motherloving day. Pay attention.

The Slits - Segal
Chrome - Nipper
Hüsker Dü - Nokes (I believe someone referred to me as "chick" up there)

Eventually, she will hear them all! I would love to be listening to the Slits for the first time! Can't wait to hear how her Zen Arcade journey goes.

Sorry...wasn't meant as an insult...just hadn't seen your name and was too lazy to scroll up.

I didn't actually take it as an insult ;) I am, in fact, a chick.
