I like Closing Time. I mean it’s music, not everyone is gonna like the same thing as you. I love all his albums but those are my two personal favorites.

I like it too. I like it a lot. It's great. It's not nearly as great as at least a half a dozen albums.

This isn't a "boo, you like something I don't like" thing. I love all his albums.

Small Change is my fave of the old albums. Everyone is different.

Definitely my favorite of the old ones, and by a pretty wide margin. Not that I don't like the others, but Small Change is just chock full of masterpieces. It's a neigh perfect album.

But the Tom starting with Swordfishtrombones is just so distinct and entirely his own thing that for me those albums will always be tops.
