Each Dogs CD has something on it that is utterly indispensable... To list them would take up an awful lot of time. However, as a standard of completeness, Green Room Serenade does the best job in polishing every facet of the band from gut-bucket blues to rock 'n roll to the most sublime ballads.

"Waiting For You To Come Around" is such an epic song in that even though it is a subtle ballad, it sweeps you up entirely by the end. It's the longest Dogs tune and yet it takes you through with a lot of grace and you never are aware of length.

As much as I loved the Mercy River version, "Reasonable Service" is sing-along goodness. And if the topic is cover songs, I do believe that on many days I have to wonder who did the best Leonard Cohen redo - Jeff Buckley or The Dogs. Not that I plan to check out soon, but I want their version of "If It Be Your Will" played when they hoist my eternal Glad Bag over the cliffside.

Little Red Riding Hood may be a close second - However to deny "Eleanor, It's Raining Now"? But then again, what about "Smokescreen", "Rebecca Go Home" or "Only One Bum In Corona Del Mar"? Still, for that overall sense of strength from start to finish, it's gotta be GRS.

It was. We picked up a new re-issue CD to replace a cassette then.

50 bucks?!

I would agree, but there are a couple tunes on GRS I have to skip.
LRRH on the other hand, or even SR. Pleased
That said, the high points on GRS are very high indeed. Cool


I love the politics on the first couple Dogs CDs and really miss that part on their later stuff.

I am listening to LRRH and GRS back to back and I may have to eat my words.

GRS is very good.

"Green Room Serenade does the best job in polishing every facet of the band from gut-bucket blues to rock 'n roll to the most sublime ballads."

There are both so good. Don't make me choose! Crying

Those first three records are a wonderful trilogy.
I kind of always think of them together in a way...

Truth be told, I think of them that way too.
I really have a hard time choosing a favorite from the "trilogy."
It was a very special time for the Dogs.

So don't. It really is hard to choose which is the best. I would put LRRH at a very close 4th behind RMC, but only because RMC was the album I cut my teeth on. All of their music is so good it's hard to rank them. And some days, I would put LRRH before RMC or even GRS.

Yeah, I agree.
I agree with colorblind, I think of the first three more as a "trilogy" and you really can't seperate them.
Kind of like the Dog's version of "The iAlarma! Chronicles."

Kind of...

I bought Scenic Routes on e-bay last week to replace that a friend decided to keep...
The price was $30...a little steep.
But now the person says that they don't ship to canada...but they'll make this exception...if I pay $15 for the shipping!!!
I'm trying to get him to come down on his shipping price right now.
That would be a total of $45 for Scenic Routes...
That's a lot of money for a scenic route!

It's not that expensive to ship to Canada! Roll Eyes

I just got done mailing something to Canada today and it was about the same as a expensive mailing! Red Face

What a shady schister! Mad
