That's fair, it's a semantic thing I guess. The Beatles are obviously the most important/greatest band ever. This is objective honestly, especially now that rock music has wrapped up its historic mainstream run and is now a niche like jazz. But to your point, I would say STP is my favorite/greatest band ever. Also, if there is a close call on an STP album that is arguably not as good as Core, it is SLDD. But to me, Hello It's Late, Black Again, and a Song for Sleeping are three songs so profound SLDD surpasses Core.

@Gronold3 @uscfan981 Hit the nail on the head.

@srvfan2b4life @uscfan981 That is an amazing song.

Government corruption can only be defeated by dramatically reducing government power #libertarian https://t.co/BvlxydqsJM via @YouTube

I know this list is fake and pretty funny, but brought something to mind, for my favorite bands of the 90s, I think there is this pattern of a band's breakout album being considered their best, when the follow-up was next level, significantly better. Soundgarden Down on the Upside > Superunknown, Nirvana In Utero > Nevermind, Pearl Jam Vs. > Ten, Foo Fighters Nothing Left to Lose > Colour, AIC Tripod > Dirt, STP Purple > Core. Off this list there are many more examples of this pattern.

I agree with Nash, but for the first four levels on this list I would move Cena 2nd level, right next to Stone Cold and Flair where he belongs. 5th level gets messy, lots of wrestlers could be there. Only major gripe of wrestler being left off this image is Punk. My comments are in context of a modern American list.

It’s worth a shot. 🗽

@ofctimallen Separation of currency and state is the only solution to this problem. Politicians will never stop printing up money, as long as they can, they will. We must take management of currency out of the hands of the government, we need a free market monetary system. #libertarian

@ImBreckWorsham I ask you to give the Libertarian Party a chance, we want to earn your vote. I believe the real debate in America isn't left vs. right, it's libertarian vs. authoritarian, individualism vs. forced collectivism. Republicans and Democrats are two sides of the same coin.

People do best when they’re the most free.

These high prices are caused by government fiat currency money printing inflation and extensive government control of the healthcare industry. We need separation of currency and state, and separation of healthcare and state. Total freedom from government coercion wherever possible.

[Tom Schmitz @TomSchmitzLP]

@SenWarren I regret that your statement proves what I've been saying, that politicians cannot, and will never stop printing up money and spending. The value of the dollar has been debased beyond belief. The only solution is separation of currency and state, a free market monetary system.

@amelia_tweetz You can vote yourself into socialism but you have to shoot your way out of it.

[Tom Schmitz @TomSchmitzLP]

@JulieBorowski Any compulsory taxation is a violation of the non-aggression principle, there is no way around this in my view. I'm a minarchist (police, courts, military, environmental protections), but everything must be funded voluntarily.

@lukepbeasley He's attempting to make food more affordable through state initiations of violence and theft. Won't work, never has, and it's morally wrong.

@amitylee13 There is a clear political solution: people must stop voting for the uniparty and start voting Libertarian. A Libertarian majority would objectively bring about massive change, immediately end all wars, and drastically reduce the size and scope of the government. There is hope!
