xp, I'll have to listen to this because of what you said about shifts in production. Recently, on a mix of my favorite songs from another lo-fi band, I had to deal with finding the best track progression which isn't simple.

Several live staples from that era were on Speak Kindly.
When I saw them in 2000, he introduced the songs from this record thus: "Speak kindly of your volunteer fire department... cos they just might save your flaming asshole".

not sure there are even 20 songs of this quality from the reunion era sadly. "overloaded" is the only one i can think of that i would put on this
Dang, this is a fantastic song. From the credits it doesn't look like Bob had anything to do with it - it's drummer Kevin March's song (including vocals).

"Trust Them Now" on Earth Man Blues is a gem.

thanks for voting, everyone! i love the really wide spread here, so many 1-vote picks. and the old-schoolers can take comfort in the cumulative totals for the mid-90s material.

I voted “Game of Pricks.” Can’t believe “Motor Away” only got two votes.

I love it but voted for Tractor, just shows you how great the top tier stuff is in general
