Default Poll: Favorite LB Solo Album

Now that Gift of Screws has had some time to sink in, I thought this would be interesting. I don't know, maybe this has been done before.

The real test will be how much we like GOS after a year or so. Will it stand the test of time? Well, aside from the fact that some of the songs are alredy over 10 years old!

As much as I LOVE Gift of Screws, I feel as if Out of the Cradle can never be beaten. Its just amazing from beginning to end.

I agree. I can't right now vote for it for certain for Best Lindsey ever, even though part of me feels that it is. This is a tough call. I voted Law & Order.

For me it was between L&O or GOS.
GI has my favorite ONE song, but the other two are stronger albums as a whole.
Honestly, OOTC is not on heavy roation in my iTunes like the other 3.
I like UTS live, not so much album versions.

Am I really the only one who is feeling the UTS love? That is one of my all time favorite albums!! Why has no one else voted for that? Maybe it is just that that was my first LB experience.

To answer this question would be an impossible task.
Although I could say that I know which one is not my favourite.
OOTH, GOS and UTS are all favourties in their own way. Its a very Mood Dependant question.
So I didnt vote because tomorrow that might not be what I would choose

It's kind of a toss up between Out of the Cradle, UTS and Gift of Screws for me. GOS is too new for me to make that judgement yet. So between OOTC and UTS...OOTC edged out Under the Skin.

Feck it I voted for Screws, I think its Lindseys Best Album.
I wish though he could have put a few more songs on to the cd though.

Got to Get Away, Given Thing and Wear you Down really would have been a great addition to the existing ten songs.

I voted LAW & ODOR. It's always been my favorite owing to its cartoonishness & kazoos. I also think it demonstrates an ebullience in recording (the act itself rather than the technology) that the other albums don't fully have. I also prefer Lindsey's voice at that time -- a hillbilly with immense tonal control.

Finally, L&O has the most interesting cover & sleeve art.

His 1st three albums were splendid!!

Listened a few times to GOS. Don't have an opinion yet as it needs more time... I just got it...

Got to say OOTC. It's the most serious work he's done and you can tell he put the most effort into it. It all works as a cohesive unit the best, besides UTS. GOS is great, he just didn't put as much effort into it as OOTC. The ORIGINAL GOS would have been by far his best, but it was cannibalized.

I'd have to say Out of the Cradle, but GOS comes up very close behind. Under the Skin was also a very good album, but not quite as good as OotC.
