See, I disagree.  If 'Besides' was a 'best of' or 'greatest hits' package,
sure, you couldn't count it.
Since it's basicly a compilation of rare and unreleased material, it does
count.  Regardless of
the fact that most of the songs aren't new themselves.

Agreed.  'Cept I'd switch TWHF and GDBD in a close race for third with
DNOTY a respectable fifth.

I don't believe you.  The various times I've seen OTR, I've never gotten
that charge
of pure energy and exitement like I have at, say, a Todd Rundgren or
Psychodots show.
Don't get me wrong, I greatly enjoy the band and all they have to offer,
just not at that
level.

>Don't tell me OTR could never rock.  I ain't buying it.
Well, soft-rock, maybe.        ;-)
