If you go down the list of Sixteen Stone, you see: 3, 9, 12- wait a minute three songs in the top 12?!?! Yes my friends although it came in sixth, you can see why this is yet another candidate I thought had the potential to be number one.  (Don't worry you'll only hear about this one more time.)  Only Nevermind has a stronger top seven songs (makes sense), but then song eight falls off a cliff. It's another one of the largest drop-offs, going from 82 to 164.  Yes it double the previous song.  

The bottom four songs on here are quite frankly, really bad.  They're as bad as the best songs are great.  All four are bottom 26.  I never listen to them, so I forgot about them honestly.  The rest of the album is sooo good, it's no wonder I felt it was a contender.  But there was just no way that an album with four crap songs could mathematically come out on top.  That being said, I could probably listen to this album (the good songs) every single day without tiring of them.
