Maybe. But what's weird about it at all??

Also- how is the other song? I can't find it anywhere to even sample...

Interesting. But would you put Sports above, say, Sanmon Gossip? Or for that matter, Muzai Moratorium or Shouso Strip above KSK? It just seems like the priorities on that list are a little bit...off.

Sports that high is an oddball, but I'd choose Muzai Moratorium or Shouso Strip over KSK any day. The rockin' Ringo > artsy Ringo

I'm a little surprised how far ahead MM is. I expected SS to be #1. Shouts out to the three people who put Heisei Fuuzoku first, that was my first SR album.

Not sure about SS - have to be in a fairly specific mood to enjoy the entirety of the album (as opposed to some songs off it), but MM is definitely above KSK for me (even though I do like KSK a lot).

I like Sports about as much as SG I guess, or maybe just slightly more, to answer your question.

I've seen so many polls like this that I can't give a fuck. Would love to see one of favourite ringo puppet (collab artist) though.

I think this is the order you would get for most artists if you ask casual fans as well as more serious fans. The first album the artist got famous with, in this case the debut, will always be the favorite because that was how most people got introduced to them. Then there is a decline as the artist changes their sound and fans drop off...

MM and SS are what put Ringo on the map in Japan. They also have most of her classic songs that stuck with people. I don't see how the results are that surprising. I listen to SS and MM way more than I listen to KSK. Doesn't mean I like any over the others, but SS and MM have more potential for multiple listens over a shorter period of time, or listening to individual tracks. KSK more or less demands you to sit there and listen to the entire thing.

It's not MY favourite album, but I can understand MM being number 1. It covers, in a mild way, the whole spectrum of her solo music. Shouso Strip is too turned up to 11 in every way even if it made for an explosive coming out of Shiina Ringo at the time. KZK is the proper album so I'd put that at number one. I don't really have a favourite album, tbh. Just least favourite. Dai Hakken. Sunny has some good tracks on it, but it's also strikes me as the most unnecessary album.

I'm not sure if it's my favorite, but Sports is definitely underrated on this board. Pretty good pop/rock album.
