Not sure why, but moved to compose and post this:

1. Small Change
2. Rain Dogs
3. Nighthawks
4. Swordfishtrombones
5. Alice
6. Blood Money
7. Orphans
8. Big Time
9. Blue Valentine
10. One From the Heart

If boots were included, Cold Beer on a Hot Night (Sydney) might just ace Swordfish and come in after Nighthawks

I'm sure this thread must already exist somewhere. I don't care.

Any takers?

I can´t understand it.

Nighthawks At The Diner or One From The Heart better than Bone Machine or Mule Variations? Really?

Not saying it's better, just saying I personally prefer G&D. I listen to G&D a lot!!!!

Using orphans as just one spot seems sort of like cheating.
