There are a lot of gems ln all those albums. It goes way deeper than the greatest hits stuff.

Sounds familiar -
I could have put each of his albums, up to about Last Mango in Paris in my list too.
JB's music probably saved my life a couple of times. I used to do a 3 hour set of strictly Buffett once a month for the Michigan fan club "Fins to the North" back in the late 90's.
It's always funny to me - many who say "I hate Jimmy Buffett" have never heard those deep album tracks - heck, most have only heard Margaritaville and Come Monday.
So many great tunes early on.....saw him live about 10 times between '77 and '91 or so. It just changed a lot after that, and you can barely get or afford the tickets now. First show at Pine Knob outside of Detroit, the pavillion wasn't even sold out and I think the ticket was around 15 bucks!
