Honorable mention to I Was in the House When the House Burning Down and the classic Werewolves of London.

My favorite is his heartbreaking cover of Back In The High Life Again.

I love story songs, so Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner is where it's at for me.

How did I miss Warren Zevon day?? That whole album Excitable Boy is my favorite. What used to be my least favorite song on it, "Veracruz", is now my favorite, which I take as a sign of a great album.

Also a big fan of "My Shit's Fucked Up".
