  A Top 5!

Saw a commercial the other day for that collection of "story" songs, and it got me thinking: what are the best TST penned story songs. And then I thought, well that's good for a top five.

1. Built For Glory
2. Horrendous Disc
3. The Twist
4. Organ Bar
5. Rocky Mountain Mines

Honorable mention to the rest of SOTH, Near Sighted Girl, and Over Her Shoulder.

  What about Beuchner and...

...everything else for the past 25 years?

I guess it's kinda hard to condense down so many years and so many variations and styles, isn't it? This was a bit of a problem (in my opinion) with "Our Personal Favorite World Famous Hits".

With a group having the caliber and longevity of DA, my top 5 and even top 25 (not to mention top 5 albums) will probably be radically different from every other fanatic on the DAMB that reads this.

So thanks anyway, but I really can't bite...

I think we missed more than a few... TST just writes way to many really good songs

How did I forget Art Carney's Dream? That was quite the stupid oversight.
