(my other favorites are Beat The Champ, We Shall All Be Healed, and The Sunset Tree, b/c they all contain a high concentration of songs I really dig)

fuck this is a hard ask
"best" is so subjective, I think Tallahassee is my favorite one though. There's a lot of really solid ones, and even the ones I think of as less-solid have at least a few songs each that I absolutely love. But if I have to pick one, it's Tallahassee.

Here's a video that's mostly about the LED traffic lights, but it also shows them going up with a cherry picker and bringing them down, and changing the bulbs inside em.

There's a reason I qualified that with "modern" lol any man with any amount of fame from more than a decade or three ago is bound to be an asshole

I'd see it more akin to say, B.F. Skinner's and Albert Einstein's contributions of philosophical value that don't make them philosophers per se.

Only Žižek is properly speaking a philosopher out of those. Things get a lot better once you move past the people who write op-eds.

i don't think anyone becomes famous unless they are prepared to be a jerk and i think it's safe to assume that any famous person, philosopher or not, is a jerk until proven otherwise.
that said, the most famous living philosopher i can think of whose work i have enjoyed reading and who at least kinda seems like not a jerk is probably Harry Frankfurt. although i don't know him personally and would not be surprised to find out he's actually a jerk. he did go on the Daily Show, after all.

The Sunset Tree is super intense but probably the best, though it's not something I can listen to a lot. I got a lot of play out of All Eternals Deck and Transcendental Youth.
