I have a half-dozen of his CDs and was wondering if anyone else enjoys him.
I saw him live at the Pyramid Club in Alphabet City back in the early '90s, it was a great show.

I got about a half dozen of his cd's also.  My favorites are Mind Bomb and Hanky Panky.  Hanky Panky is all covers of Hank Williams songs.  For someone new I would suggest 45rpm which is a collection of The The singles.

I've been a fan for a long time. I have all his albums, including Solitude and 45 RPM. One of my most memorable concert experiences was seeing The The open for Depeche Mode in Gainesville, FL in 1993 (Johnny Marr on guitar). Overall the very best concert I've ever been to, and I've seen a bunch.
