I mean, they're great too, but are stiff in comparison. This sounds like it was fun to make and is just a joy to listen to, and contains quite a few of my all-time faves.<br /><br />On my list:<br /><br />Insane/Cool It<br />Be It Not For The Serpentine Rain Dodger<br />Scuffle With Nature<br />Wig Stomper<br />Fairly Blacking Out<br />Bullfighter's CutAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19872823.post-35142480199380652982008-07-01T07:04:00.000-07:002008-07-01T07:04:00.000-07:00Great move, RR...I'm glad to read about the Takeov...Great move, RR...I'm glad to read about the Takeovers, and will be buying a couple shortly, so I can hear them for myself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19872823.post-51040338051141356902008-02-28T18:55:00.000-08:002008-02-28T18:55:00.000-08:00Always love reading your thoughts, though I agree ...Always love reading your thoughts, though I agree that Rain Dodger is a monster song with monster drums... by far my fave cut on the album.

It's a fun album, a good summery feel. <BR/><BR/>But how could you not include "Be it Not for the Serpentine Rain Dodger" on your list??? It's the best "updated/fleshed out years later" Bob song, ever. Huge drums!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
