Joe Dirt Car is one of my favorite live albums of all time. They're just a great live act. I stuck with them all the way through "Blend", which was excellent. I lost them on "Resolution" but 'Still' gave me a pretty good vibe on first spin. couldn't agree more. Joe Dirt Car is one of my favorite live albums of all time. They're just a great live act.

Kurt's solo album, "Shy Dog," isn't bad either...

Love “Good Things.”

Love & Hope was good, but I absolutely loved Outside Looking In, which I think is their best album top-to-bottom. It had the right balance of kick-in-the-pants rockers and sadly sweet ballads.

Home was a bit of a letdown to me. Of course, it did have Good Work on it, which makes up for a lot of things. It's my absolute favorite song of theirs.

I pretty much gave up after Black and White. That album just didn't click with me at all.
