Yeah, I agree. That was why I picked mine too, they all formed a soundtrack for me in some way, even though they may not be the elitest music.
As for "Under the Blacklight," yeah, it really is my favorite Rilo Kiley album I think. I like all the others but that one just has the MOST songs that I like on it, that I don't have to skip. For the others there are a considerable amount of songs I skip. I tried to conceive my list choices in terms of "albums that have the most songs I like at once on them" and for some artists, like Shakira, that meant I couldn't pick one album as the 'best' because the ratio of songs I skip to songs I love wasn't balanced.
