Pretty much anything up to their album with Middle of The Road. Huge fan of their earlier stuff and love 2,000 Miles at Christmas time.

:thumbsup:

especially on "Baby's Breath" and "Human".

Saw them a few weeks back in Atlantic City. Chrissy still brings it like no other female rocker ever. And they played "Day After Day". Just sayin'

Not crazy bout The Nothing Maker, the best song on their new album is:

Love's A Mystery

"fucking classic" - brother after they played it live

I think Don't Get Me Wrong is my all time fave. I know it's the radio "classic" of all her songs, though.
There isn't a song she does that is unbearable to listen to.

That voice could be singing "Mothers Of The Disappeared" and I'd love it. Ever since my adolenscense, I've dreamed of marrying a woman with Chrissy's voice. God, what a voice.


another great song off the new album is "The Last Ride"

Mothers of the Disappeared! LOL.

If she did GOYB, it would be a vast improvement to the song too!

I can imagine him rapping his way through that one. Good call on RITFW!
