Nick Jim Korth gets full credit for this album making the list. Hadn't even heard of them when he recommended that I give this album a listen.

Then I saw them play on SNL, and thought enough of the performances to buy the record. I enjoy listening to this one in the car a ton.

But when I do make the time for this album, I always enjoy it, but probably would have ranked it higher if it wasn't 70 minutes long.
Here's the opening track, "Slowly (Oh So Slowly)" ...
