That's actually a great collection.
My two favorites of his are Milkman of Human Kindness and a New England.
His voice is pretty dreamy. :luv:

This song might be tied as my favorite BB song. Although the demo version is my favorite version.

I was wondering why Victim had all these songs from other albums on it

Billy Bragg is great! I love Worker's Playtime, probably my favourite of his, but Talking with the Tax Man About Poetry is brilliant, as is Don't Try This at Home.

A great talent this bloke, and you have to love his passion.

'sfunny but on the Wilco thing I actually own a copy of Mermaid Avenue but I don't think I've ever listenned to it all the way through since I bought it when it came out. Off to give it a spin now.

Nope, I was just wondering why I could never find that album my university roommate gave me in any stores.

Really all of his albums have a lot to love about them. But Talking with the Tax Man..., Back to Basics, etc. Classics.

Definitely listen to the collaboration with Wilco. Besides YHF that is probably the Wilco material I like the most. Thanks to Bragg. :P Not that Wilco aren't good.

BTW, Ontario, Quebec, and Me is insanely amazing.
