Studio albums

Ilph · Post by **Ilph** » January 23, 2004 8:57 pm

Hey, I'm looking for a little help here. I've got Jimmy's greatest hits and the live albums. But now I want to get into his studio albums. What would be your choice for Jimmy's best studio album for a first timer to get? Thanks.

I would say A1A would be the perfect start for ya

I like Barometer Soup, a relatively newer Jimmy album. The tropical sounds are stunning. If you want to go older, I would agree with A1A. You really can't miss.

A1A. Barometer Soup, or Banana Wind. Just get them all!!!

If you're only looking for one or two then A1A, Changes In Lattitudes Changes In Attuitudes, Banana Wind and Floridays are some great places to start. But like somebody else said, just get them all.

Last Mango In Paris

A-1-A is AWSOME
Coconut Telegraph is GREAT
One Particular Harbor is also wonderphul!
Livin and Dyin' is SWEET
White Sport Coat is almost as good as A-1-A

I'd go A1A, havana daydreamin', floridays & barometer soup but that's just one (sco)man's opinion....

Get at least one from each decade

1970's-A1A
1980's-Floridays
1990's-Barometer Soup
2000's-Far Side of the World

After you get these, just pick and choose which ones to buy, with the goal of eventually having them all.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I do already have Far Side of the World and love it! I'm currently bidding on Gruitckes, Barometer Soup, Banana Wind, White Sport Coat, and Boats, Beaches, Bars and Ballads on Ebay. (God, I love that site) My hope is to get a new album every month or so, eventually getting them all.

I would have to agree with Barometer Soup. I think this shows the full range of a Buffett album. I would follow that up with Banana Wind then a rum and coke, then A-1-A then another rum and coke and then finally finish with another rum and coke!

I'm feeling ya on the rum and cokes.

I would totally agree with this but I would change Far Side to Beach House on the Moon.. just a personal preference.

A1A, Havana Daydreamin'. Son of a Son of a Sailor, One Particular Harbor, Coconut Telegraph, Floridays, Off to See the Lizard, Barometer Soup, Beach House on the Moon, Far Side of the World, and Club Trini Live just for the hell of it

id start out with Barometer soup, aia, thats what i iwould start out with.

If you were leaning to Fruitcakes keep leaning. It is great

Here's an idea though. Get them all in chroniclogical (sp?) order.

It is how us old phart Buffett fans had to get them.

i would second (or third) A1A and Banana Wind, but i would definetly check out Down to Earth shortly after to see how it all got started.. happy listening

Can't forget "Riddles in the Sand", my personal fave from the 80's.

"Love in decline" is kicka$$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

brettsky · Post by **brettsky** » January 31, 2004 8:40 am

I would sugest Meet me in Margaritaville. A good " taste " of all his stuff both new and old. Might also want to invest in the box set Beaches, bars, ballads ( my favorite ) and boats.

Those 2 would pretty much cover it all

You had to be there is also a classic

I love gods own drunk

I've reviews most of his albums and gave my top ten favorites. Whether others agree with me is a different story altogether though lol.

Once again, thanks for everyone's information. I now own SYKBH, Feeding Frenzy, Barometer Soup, Banana Wind, The Boxed Set, Christmas Island, Tuesdays Thursdays and Saturday Nights, Far Side of the World, Meet Me in Margaritaville, and Live in Cincinatti. I've got a list of albums I'm keeping an eye out for when I get a chance to buy a few more. Thanks, guys.
