I'd have to think way too much to come up with the list, of course I will also admit that I don't know all of his songs, so I could also be missing some that I might have near the top

I also like this type of thread, for the same reasons, many songs on people lists I like quite a bit.... interesting though....

In no particular order:
WDWGDAS
CIP
Migration
Altered Boy (only because I think he stole the idea from Robert Charlebois)
a bunch of others I forget instantly...

but Elvis Imitators is near the top of the favourite list for me.... whatchgonnado ?

It is fascinating to me to read these, and learn how we love the same artist; we truly like him for different reasons. I think that is a good thing. A few songs that I absolutely love came up on people’s most hated list.
I love:
-Ballad of Spider John
-God's own drunk (even though it is not his, I think he did the song great justice, and it takes me back to the good old Marvin Gardens days.)
-Migration
-When Salome Plays the Drum

My least favorite:
-CIP
-volcano
-Math Suks
-boat drinks
-fins

Just goes to show we all like the same things in different ways.

HOW CAN YOU NOT LIKE MIGRATION????

I could have picked almost anything off of Down To Earth and High Cumberland Jubilee but that would be way too easy.
In no particular order:

Altered boy (I liked the kiss my a$$ message to the haters just not how it was done)

Baby's Gone Shopping - not many Buffett songs that I do not know the words to and this is one of them

Margaritaville (Pitcher Perfect version) - absolute uninspired garbage, especially that "hee haw"

Strange Bird

Oysters And Pearls

of course this is an ever-changing list

I ran into that same problem. there are so many lousy songs (imo) on those two albums that I would have burned all five picks and not made it past 1973..

Um... sorry, can't think of any. I mean, by process of elimination and paired comparison analysis, obviously there are songs that I would put at the bottom of my list of Jimmy Buffett tunes. However, I choose not to dwell on that part of the list. I play those songs less often but wouldn’t go out of my way to walk over to the disc player to FF past a tune.

That is why God invented Remote Control

Migration, Take It Back, Altered Boy, Autour du Roche, Strange Bird, Treetop Flyer?????? Wow, those are all among my favorites.

Man, we have different tastes, we all do!

I thought that was why he invented children. They were around long before remote controls. I believe the remote control was invented by an adult whose kids had gone off to college.

LOL That's what I was thinking. That's in my top 5 always! Course, I've already seen some of my "worst" appear on other's "best" list. Variety is truly the spice of life.

I agree! I LIKE those songs, especially Autour du Roche. I loved that the 1st time I heard it and ran right out to buy the cd. In fact FSOTW is my 2nd favorite album. And Treetop Flyer? Geeessshh! Knocks my socks off!Hey, different strokes.
I think the only song I really dislike is Fool Button

no... while I understand it is an opinion, that one has been creeping into my "wow.. nice song" list (mainly because I didn't have a copy of the song prior to about 6 months ago()
