i know i said "angry white boy" on the other thread but this becomes much harder actually listening to them all

I might go with Hot Rocks

Polkas On 45 and Polka Party are sort of tied with me although for some reason Polkas on 45 holds up better because the songs he covers are now Classic Rock staples.

this is DIFFICULT

Bohemian Polka works way better than it should, wau

even though it's obviously less wide-ranging than the others, i love the rolling stones one. or at least i did as a kid, i haven't heard it in a million years.

I would see an entire concert of these

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

I didn't want to cast a kneejerk vote for "Polka Your Eyes Out" without listening to all of these, since some of them I'd never heard and Off The Deep End was my first WAY album and a sentimental favorite. but after going through them all, I still have to vote for that one, just a perfect run of the most perfectly ridiculous early '90s hits. some great stuff in the early polkas but I have to say this might be the one area in which he's refined his craft the most over time, the later ones are all solid.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

nice to see almost everything get votes!

idk
