RIP Jimmy Buffett

Should have posted this Monday.

 

OK Parrotheads, what are your top Jimmy Buffett albums? All criteria is purely subjective. List 1; list 20.
I've got 4 that if lounging in my hammock or on a road trip, I wouldn't skip a single track.
(Order is chronological, not preference)

White Sport Coat
A1A
Off to See the Lizard
Fruitcakes

None of those contain the most successful songs. None of those even have my favorite song. They are just my personal favorite complete albums from start to finish.

 

My list changes every so often.

Songs You Don’t Know By Heart
Riddles In The Sand
A1A
Hot Water

 

I should have prefaced no compilations. Studio albums only.

Songs You Don't Know By Heart are the songs that I actually do know by heart.

 

Living & Dying
A1A
Changes in Latitudes
Volcano
Banana Wind
License to Chill

 

You Had To Be There - great live album, I really felt like I WAS there.
Off to See the Lizard was his first with his "new" band. Some great stuff on there.

Jimmy Buffett mattered to music well beyond the Margaritaville franchise, and his legacy deserves to be enshrined in the Halls of American music reserved for the most important and influential artists of our time. That’s what Jimmy Buffett was. He was a Hall of Famer.

 

Both were good tributes. They were fitting.

 

Crying? I wasn’t crying. Some beach sand got into my eyes.

 

This is completely subjective - which is the only way it could be written - but a good read. https://www.spin.com/2023/11/jimmy-buffett-albums-ranked/
