Joined the Ed-Head ranks sometime around the Big Noise timeframe, so most of the Juggler stuff was old news by then... I have to put 'Jack Can't Cook' at the top of my least favorite as well, and so far, 'Tommy the Canexican' just hasn't grown on me. A few others that, although are nice songs, just didn't 'click' with me are Margot Fonteyn and Omar's Got a Problem. Still, (EFO love-fest mode on) it's pretty hard to find any other band that's got so many songs I just love.

Fishbowl was the first EFO CD I bought and that song instantly stood out for me. It's one of those rare song I could listen to a million times in a row and never get sick of it.

Thanks! ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 17 Jul 2001 19:08:27 -0400 From: "Jennifer Feneley" Subject: Re: Least favorite EFO tunes All of this Monotony bashing has forced me to come out of my perpetual list hibernation. I don't care if Michael did say Monotony is not a very good song, I think it's funny. In my humble opinion, it's an ironic poke at an often monotonous society done in a pretty clever fashion. I wouldn't say it's my favorite song on the CD, but every time I listen to it, I have to knod and laugh. Maybe it has something to do with my wealth of knowledge and experience in monotony and the trombone. Then again, I also think Let's Get Mesolithic is funny. Perhaps I am just too easily amused.
