Not bad - But I personally would rate 'Reelin in the Years' a lot higher than their 23rd best song ...........

It’s a tricky one because there were so many styles of influence throughout must confess I still have Aja and Pretzel logic on original LP
Looking at that favourites list it seems that Aja has been the most accepted and raved about album due to its fabulous collection of musicians contributing all at the top of their game and let’s be honest the whole production and arrangement just comes together like a one off.
1 = Black Cow
2 = Aja
3 = Peg
4 = Any Major Dude Will Tell You
5 = Rikki Don't Lose That Number
Not on those two albums the next one is my early encounter on the OGWT
6 = Reelin In The Years

Very very hard and again it would depend on my listening mood at the time. I love the laid back stuff then there is the more up tempo, so it would be two lists. I do think Reelin' should be higher.

I like them all...I couldn't even think of putting them in a ranking order...

(Indeed, Reelin' should be higher)
