My favorites off the top of my head are the first one, Ready for the House, Six and Six, Living in a Moon So Blue, Telegraph Melts, and Worthless Recluse (that is one of the "spoken word" ones and I think it's brilliant though a lot of people can't take it at all.) I at least like all of his albums, though I understand why some of the late '90s meandering instrumental ones (and for that matter the spoken word ones) bother people. I just find his general experimental creativity to be refreshing even when he borders on noodley territory. Overall, I take the earliest stuff and the early-mid electric band stuff as my faves though with a nod to the spoken word for proving to those who said "He can't possibly get any more primitive", that, yes he could!
