When it comes to albums that I most play, I'd have to list these (beginning with most):

I definitely like Kalhoun, too. Father Explains would go in my play list if I ever toured solo (I'm working on getting my band together first, of course).
It sounds like the Lost Dogs, but keep in mind that the Lost Dogs sold lots of records... wait a minute...

Yeah, Kalhoun is the album I'm tempted most to buy next.

Except I still don't understand what the deal is with that foreign version of Kalhoun they sell at Amazon.com as new. Nobody's ever explained to me what's up with that? Did the DA guys lose the rights to Kalhoun at poker or something?

Ok, I am ready to recieve all my hate mail now.

Hate mail? Nah... At least I'm not like that, if you Mountain Dew me off I'll just yell "Kalhoun!" (The song "Virgin Falls"--how can one not love it?)
It's funny that you like "3-legged dog." That's my least favorite off "Real Men Cry."
Different strokes for different folks!

Sorry, had to do that....
Re: Kalhoun: Starts with a bang. Several, actually. Ends with a whimper. Several, actually. Once I get past "I Will Return," "Gloryhound"s the only song I really latch onto. I'd really like to like "Father Explains" more than I do, just on general principle, but I don't. The Eddies albums cover the same general ground Kalhoun does but with more humor and daring.
Just my....um....er.... carl thoughts.....

Kalhoun... hmmmmm... great stuff, but it's just never gotten to me in the way some other DA albums have. It's got some great songs, though. "If You Want To" (of course) and "Tracking the Amourous Man" are among my favorite DA tunes, and you gotta love the title track.

Kalhoun is much better than DFBB. It is a coming out for DA, leaving the dreadful '80s behind them.

I heard somewhere that Kalhoun and Virgin Falls are hideous (hideous, hideous!)

I must be weird, cause I love both songs. I think Kalhoun (song) is very funny and good R&R.

Dreadful '80s? You're all crazy! Alarma! is the best (wait, I think I said that already). Well here it is anyway. Alarma! is the best!

"I dunno
"I heard somewhere that Kalhoun and Virgin Falls are hideous (hideous, hideous!)"
Heard that about the latter, never about the former. Kalhoun, as aforementioned, rocks. Virgin Falls, however, is like bad buffalo wing sauce. Sure it's hot/loud, but where's the TASTE?

Zoom Daddy and best cd's etc |
|
Hey all-I haven't been on here in a while, but I do like Zoom Daddy. I wouldn't put it at the top, but I wouldn't put DFBB at the top either, which around here is nearing heresy...This is how I'd call it
1)Kalhoun tied with Motorcycle
2)Vox HumAna
3)Alarma tied with Outdoor Elvis
4)MBD
5)HD
I think Kalhoun is probably the most under rated album the boys have put out. This was strictly DA/SE I didn't even touch the Dogs, as they really are another entity
Something else that is funny about these guys is the fact that although certain albums don't rate high on my list there are individual songs that would rate high on mytop songs list
ie...Zoom Daddy-title track, and the twist
also Fearfull Symetry-Shadow Catcher
anywho this is my two cents worth

Lucy=Jonny E???
Oh well, as I type this, I see that Mr. Chandler is online, and he once performed in a dress
!
I agree about Kalhoun, it's very underrated and an awesome album (I too can't think of a bad DA\SE album). However, you can't put DFBB in your top 5??? Here's my rating:
1. DFBB
2. Kalhoun
3. HD
4. Alarma
5. Zoom Daddy (And this list does change from time to time).
