I'm the opposite. Ok, well TDS isn't that bad, but Germs is a great song. Though I'm not a fan of the live performance.

"Weird Al" Yankovic (the album) and In 3-D don't even compare to Poodle Hat or Bad Hair Day. I think that all of his old albums maxed out at Even Worse, that was a great album, and the next few were okay until Bad Hair Day which was AMAZING. Running With Scissors and Poodle Hat, though, are without question his best albums.

Alapalooza is pretty good. Some of the songs get kind of repetitive, but there's some pretty good ones. the ones that are okay on that album: traffic jam, she never told me she was a mime.

Well, if I were to seperate the albums into two halves (1-6) and (6-11), the albums in the second half are much better. UHF, OTDE, RWS, and PH all fal in my top five. But then again, In 3-D and EW are also two of my favorites. I definately agree that BHD was very spotty. There were more misses on that album than in any album since PP. But it's still a good album. I've always felt that DTBS was one of the weakest albums, and most overrated as well. So, in conclusion, to answer your question, uh...what was the question again?

yeah, DTBS was probably the weakest. A few good ones here, a few average ones there. More average songs.

DTBS is one of my faves. I think it has a lot of strong songs: LAS, DTBS, OMM, Yoda, and This Is The Life in particular.

For me, if you switched In 3-D with PP, EW with BHD, and Alapalooza with UHF, they'd be in almost perfect order!

I think his newer ones are better. I like them because Al's vocals have gotten a lot better over time and that really helps improve the songs.

I dunno, I like the older ones better, the ones with more accordion in them. Like another one rides the bus an such. Dont get me wrong, his new ones are great too.
