Their albums are out of print; buy the best-of.

Keep "Living on the Ceiling." I'd drop some legs for these tunes way before that one, and I did so many a time in my teens. Matta fact, I'm doing a deskchair jig right now, though my boogie-down vinyl pants don't fit so well 20 years later. (DAMN! THESE SONGS ARE 20 YEARS OLD. Lift ya cane, shake it high, f**k an old age.)
