"Silas Stingy" is wonderfully twee, so I voted for that one. Not a big fan of his songs in general though.

I voted "Heaven And Hell" also.
I do have to shout out for that Tipton, Entwistle, & Powell record though. It's worth the 99 cent used bin price just to hear Entwistle cutting loose.

"My Wife" FTW.
I mean, I know it's just "The Letter", but what the hell's wrong with that, anyway?
"Boris The Spider" is tops, too.

"Someone's Coming" 's also a very good one. Had I not already voted for "My Wife", the ... etc, etc.

He really had a knack for the novelty-song-with-a-heart, didn't he? I've gotta go with "Whiskey Man" (tho I love every song already mentioned.)

Heaven and Hell was robbed. This is an outrage.

Marsh wrote something to the effect that "Heaven and Hell" is the rocker's ultimate wish. Great song, but I think I voted for "Whiskey Man" in the end. I put it on a mix tape once that wound up in Billy Bragg's hands.

That mix tape would've been a lot better if it had started with "Heaven and Hell". (Though Billy Bragg wouldn't have ever noticed that.)
