    I like "Ëggs And Sausage" and "Ballad of Big Joe and Phantom 309", from Nighthawks at the Diner.Pretty much that whole album (tho',it's the only one I've got).

    "Singapore" conjurs up images in your head like all of Tom's best work does.

    One of my favorites is Hoist That Rag; it's just a gritty, grimy, awesome song.

    I like tom's "Burma Shave" piece. He really is quite a philosopher in his own way! I like "Hang on St. Christopher" too.

    > Here's one that is so not like any Tom Waits I've ever seen... He's playing piano, singing a torch song....

    That's from "Nighthawks at the Diner" where Tom talks his way between songs. That's a fun album.

    You might also want to check out "Closing Time" - his debut album from 1973. Lots of piano and great tunes. Hopefully this link will point to that: http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:fpfuxql5ldke

    This has got to be the hardest question I've ever been asked. I'll have to think about it.
    I have to agree with Shane...16 Shells is a great song...but to pick just one or two.
