Pretty funny Brian. You keep picking discs of bands that I own and have yet (maybe never) to find a place anywhere close to albums that have a meaningful place in my life. First the Microphones and now New Buffalo. You hedged your bet with respect to which album of hers you would choose but having owned her first album I never felt the need to own another. Feist-lite if you will.

As for Badly Drawn Boy let me be the first to reveal my hand and say without reservation that this is on my top 10 list. An album that no matter how often I go back to and how long it's been since the last listen still finds new ways to ingratiate itself with me. Brilliant album, almost a better show at the Opera House and never approached since in his subsequent output.
