What is TT's best solo album and why?

I only have Neverhood Songs, John Wayne, and Briefing for the Ascent. Its a close call between the latter two; but I'd say John Wayne is my favorite, because of "It is Finished", "Ten Gallon Hat", and several other great songs.

I've been dying to hear "Knowledge and Innocence"; but its hard to fork 25 bucks over to Rad Rockers, which is the minimum amount to be paid to make a RR purchase.

Attention

knowledge and innocence by far! it was made when terry's kids were still small and if you are a father, or even if not, will bring tears to your eyes.... Crying

get it "by any means necessary..." Evil

K & K for sure. I've used two songs from the disc at funerals and had many people ask me "Who is that"? A very personable disc, it can make you laugh and cry. One of my favorites.
Thanks Terry

Not having heard TST's first two solo efforts (I know, I'm not a true fan! Crying

), I can only say that I am partial to NeverHood. I can hum (most of) those songs all day long. Pleased

Does this make me weird? Confused

John Wayne is a mighty fine album, though!

Yes, I meant "You Lay Down"; and I like Petra's song "It is Finished" also. Be sure to get their new cd and crank it loud, btw.

I honestly haven't heard anything besides some songs from Avocado Faultline. It's a really good album though.

John Wayne. Hands down. But if you liked Briefing you'd like K & I as well. I can't get into either, but I know others here swear by them.

P.S. Welcome back. Now, behave. Tongue

That one or AF, kind of a toss-up for me, depending on what mood I am in! Wink

Posted by jiminy on 10-30-2003 at11:32:

i DO NOT THINK WE ARE GETTING A CLEAR CONSENSUS HERE..........

When I'm quiet- I take K and I- or BFTA.....

When I wanna boomtown (one of MY faves of JW)
I go John Wayne
Plus Writers Block is FAB
If I fell in between- I go AF

Don't have neverhood- so I aint a real fan either.......

What're you waiting for? It's GREAT! Even my daughter likes it! (She's used some of the tracks for her slide shows, in fact.... not to mention rigged my PC to boot up to the tune of "An Elf Sings His ABCs".... Big Grin
