Am I on the right blog? Is this Urf!? Are these in order? I don't think they are. What about The Delivery Man? I'd probably put that in place of Punch The Clock, though that is a fine album. I don't even own Get Happy!!

These are not in order - hence the *'s (Blogger doesn't do bullets).
Why am I not familiar with The Delivery Man? Punch the Clock has "Everday I Write the Book" on it!!! How could you not own Get Happy?!

Hamlett, which one is that? Is it Live at El Mocambo? If not then I need whatever it is, too.

The lyrics of Less Than Zero on that recording are completely different from the one on My Aim Is True.

ok i get it - i have a lot more listening to do, which i will do happily. but the only thing that would knock out any of my top 6 is maybe 'King of America'.
