I don't know many (one?), but I think it'd be hard for any of them to be better than "Werewolves of London."

I voted for Lawyers Guns and Money. That's the steaming turd that just beats out the Werewolves of London steaming turd.

woulda been "Roland" til the heart-wrenching circumstances made "Keep" so compelling. tears me up every time....

"Lawyers Guns and Money" is a better song, but it's hard to beat "Werewolves" for shear comedy.
"I saw Lon Chaney Junior walkin' with the Queen"

I think the poll should have been called "Second Favorite Warren Zevon Song."If Hindu Love Gods count, I'd say Rasberry Berret. If not, I always liked Sentimental Hygiene, but I'd have to think about all the options.

"Studebaker"
"Mohammed's Radio"
"Lawyers, Guns, & Money"
"The (Vast) Indifference Of Heaven"
"The French Inhaler"
"Hasten Down The Wind"
"Detox Mansion"
"Lord Byron's Luggage"

Mohammed's Radio, Jeannie Needs a Shooter, Roland... cannot reasonably select one song. Really dug his music.

Learning to Flinch might might be my favorite CD of all time.
Not mentioned yet is "Mr Bad Example"

If anyone is a fan and you haven't read "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead" I would recommend it. Pretty good book.

I kinda wish I hadn't read it. He was a pretty big **** head at times.

Voted for Roland, but I always enjoy Frank & Jesse James. It takes me back mentally to reading Lonesome Dove and some others in that series. So many solid choices here already though.

went with other....thinking "Desperadoes Under the Eaves"...great tune and how can you are argue against a song about a being a lifetime loser that contains the lines:
And if California slides into the ocean
Like the mystics and statistics say it will
I predict this motel will be standing
Until I pay my bill

I watched his final Letterman appearance again today. Weird.
I have a hard time choosing. 'I Was In the House When The House Burned Down' has the most plays on my iPod so I'll go with that.
Really love 'Splendid Isolation' live too

I saw warren four times. My favorite all-time musician.
The French Inhaler and Desperadoes Under the Eaves are the best, with honorable mention going to Play it All Night Long and My Ride's Here.
These are all songs that no one else could have possibly composed.

Wow, wish I would've seen him. I didn't really get into his stuff till late. I almost bought 'Life'll Kill Ya' when it first came out. If I had, I'm guessing I would have seen him when he came through. Bothers me to this day that I missed out.

He was a pretty messed up guy. I enjoyed the book and I agree he was a pretty big **** head at times. I felt his thought process regarding artists having an easier time creating when they had horrible events in their life was really odd. I think it was Jackson Brown he was actually jealous of? I forget what it was that happened to J Brown that made him jealous but it was really Fd up.

Pretty much the way I feel too.
It's tough to top Excitable Boy though.

What about that strikes you as odd? Art is about emotion. When you're in turmoil, your emotions are stirred up. Many of the deepest, most affecting artists had significant traumas in their childhoods.prosopis said:
