I just decided to go ahead and post this so I could quit second guessing myself. I’ll probably look back a few months from now and want to make some changes, but I guess that’s the way it goes. It looks like In Rainbows is the consensus #1 at Salad Days. It may not be a sexy pick for album of the year, but I don’t think you can wrong with having it in the top spot.
