Right, the 70s thread reminded me how much I love Warren Zevon, so I thought I could make a little collection for the people who heard of him but never heard him. Even though I know only his first two records, he's one of my favourite songwriters ever. Unfortunately his recognition has always been outshined by other monster songwriters who played on the same field (Bruce Springsteen, Elton John etc), but he really was an incredible songwriter and a splendid human being. I always loved his dark humor and his extremely personal (almost miserable!) lyrics. It is definitely worth a listen, believe me. I hope you like it, I've turtled a little collection of the best songs from his first two records, except for the last song called "My Shit's Fucked Up", which is just 10 years old now and it was a song he wrote right after (or shortly before) the doctor said he was going to die. If it's not the best way to go, I don't know what it is.
