I'd switch it out just a bit in the middle…Although I'd think The Woods would move to number one over time. However, Dig Me Out is the album that introduced me to S-K, and sometimes that sort of connection keeps one album on the top of a personal list.

1. Dig Me Out
2. The Woods
3. One Beat
4. All Hands on the Bad One
5. The Hot Rock
6. Self Titled
7. Call the Doctor
One Beat is actually my favorite. I love the energy on that album. This news is TERRIBLE. They've been a favorite of mine for a long time, I never got to see them, and I'm not going to be here for the 9:30 show! Terrible. I'm starting to think that I need to go out and see everyone as soon as possible. They are all breaking up.
Son of a !!! :mad:
how can people like "dig me out" the best and "call the doctor" the least? it just doesn't make sense. i mean, "dig me out" is clearly the best, and is it that much stylistically different than "call the doctor"? i don't think so. and "call the doctor" has "i wanna be your joey ramone" which is one of the definitive s-k songs. so to ggw and bags, i say this – whatever.

they had a good run and are leaving while still near the top of their game. good for them.

1. dig me out
2. the hot rock (way underrated)
3. call the doctor
4. the woods (slightly overrated)
5. one beat (pretty damn overrated)
6. self-titled
7. all hands on the bad one (flat out bad)
One Beat has the two worst SK songs EVER (Prisstina and Oh!)

But One Beat has "Sympathy," probably my favorite S-K song ever, so it gets bonus points as far as I'm concerned, and it has plenty of other solid songs.

Anyway, this news is very sad. S-K has been one of my favorite bands for years. I'm sorry to see them go. I hope they'll reunite somewhere down the road.

I just realized that this will make getting tickets for the 8/1 show much more difficult…

Ssssshhhhhhhh!

Folks from out of town will probably be trying for tickets!! Oh, I see a DCist hail storm a comin'.
It's kind of hard to rank them because I don't think there's a bad one in the bunch. I think my top three are absolutely brilliant, and the bottom four are all excellent with very little separating #4 from #7. I could have easily given the bottom albums a four-way tie. Call the Doctor simply gets the least play.

omg I have to go to this show or I will seriously be sooo sad.. of course like every other show I want to go this one will sell out in the first minute and I will miss it..
The NYC show sold out yesterday after the announcement (and it was on sale for WEEKS!)
The Philly show just sold out this morning.
Jeez! We should get a presale for board members :)
It looks like tickets will not be on sale yet tomorrow either for the 930 show…hmmm, is the show even happening??
930 show is still happening; just hasn't gone on sale ye.t
the band website says tickets will be on sale july 6 through tickets.com.
p.s. i'd get my mitts on the next issue of volume, available at the club, etc….

say what? i'm not too smart :(
I didn't find out until yesterday. This is really sad news. Sleater-Kinney was a terrific band and always put on an amazing live show. THE WOODS is truly their finest album sofar. I will miss hearing new material.
