Warren Zevon Career-Span
| Side A | ||
| Artist | Song | |
| Warren Zevon | I Was In The House When The House Burned Down | |
| Warren Zevon | Mohammed's Radio | |
| Made famous by none other than Linda Rondstat, when she still looked good too. (Ever see the cover of Hasten Down the Wind?) | ||
| Warren Zevon | Searching for a Heart | |
| Two live cuts on this tape, both from the Learning To Flinch album. | ||
| Warren Zevon | Werewolves of London | |
| I kinda wish I could have skipped this, but it was his only hit and it's a pretty good song if you've never heard Kid Rock before. | ||
| Warren Zevon | Accidentally Like a Martyr | |
| Warren Zevon | My Shit's Fucked Up | |
| Another one where he toes the line between poignantly sad and a chuckling-sort of funny. | ||
| Warren Zevon | Poor Poor Pitiful Me | |
| Warren Zevon | Play It All Night Long | |
| Seriously. "Turn those speakers up full blast/Play it all night long". This is one to wake the neighbors with. | ||
| Warren Zevon | Splendid Isolation | |
| The other live one. | ||
| Warren Zevon | Carmelita | |
| Warren Zevon | I'll Sleep When I'm Dead | |
| Poignantly-funny-sad-chuckling | ||
| Warren Zevon | Don't Let Us Get Sick | |
| One of his real sweet ones, a meditation on dying. Does that sound cheesy? | ||
| Warren Zevon | The Envoy | |
| This is the title track from like the most underrated album by the most underrated artist around. Wasn't even released on CD until 24 years after it first came out. Did so poorly that the label dropped him without notice, which of course let to a world-class binge, which ended in a rehab. | ||
| Side B | ||
| Artist | Song | Buy |
| Warren Zevon | Excitable Boy | |
| Sheer genius. Don't underestimate the shock potential of this sweet little gem. | ||
| Warren Zevon | Dirty Life and Times | |
| Warren Zevon | Johnny Strikes Up The Band | |
| Warren Zevon | Life'll Kill Ya | |
| Warren Zevon | Lawyers, Guns and Money | |
| One of Zevon's most known humorous songs. | ||
| Warren Zevon | Desperados Under The Eaves | |
| I just love the "If California falls into the ocean/This hotel will still be standing/until I pay my bill" line | ||
| Warren Zevon | Ain't That Pretty At All | |
| Warren Zevon | Dirty Little Religion | |
| This song is a great introduction to Warren if you don't know him that well. It just sounds dirty, and not because 'dirty' is in the title. Filthy. | ||
| Warren Zevon | The French Inhaler | |
| Personal favorite. | ||
| Warren Zevon | Back In The High Life Again | |
| Warren Zevon | Hasten Down The Wind | |
| Warren Zevon | Roland The Headless Thompson Gunner | |
| As featured in Johnathan Lethem's Chronic City. | ||
| Warren Zevon | Keep Me In Your Heart | |
| You couldn't ask for a better goodbye song. Mesothelioma can go fuck itself. | ||
