i had a discussion a while back with a friend who said she didn't see a difference, but i disagree
favorites fluctuate too much, but if you sit yourself done and think what is the best, i think you will find a hell of a lot of different choices then your favorites
i also i find this comes up when listening to artist with extensive catalogs, and find that the first thing i buy from them tends to be my favorite of theirs even when i find something better in their catalog, like Mary Timony, I first bought The Golden Dove, at this point i think Ex Hex and her new one The Shapes We Make are better, but i still find The Golden Dove right there in my listen-ables
any thoughts, i am very curious about this and if i am alone in this, do you find any differences?

Interesting thread. I prefer A Thousand Leaves to Daydream Nation, but the latter is musically more ground-breaking, if you compare them objectively. This also reminded me of a lot of records that I've bought and are made with hi-tech electronic equipment. A fair few of them sound ever so up to date, in terms of the use of new technology etc, but ultimately don't seem to make much of a point, therefore I end up listening to electronic music that was sometimes made 40 years ago. I hope that this all makes sense.
