The best Jimmy Buffett song ever written is "Bananas and Blow." The second best is "Margaritaville." And the third best is "Come Monday," taken from Living and Dying in 3/4 Time. The rest of the record, though, I didn't really care for, even though I listened to it shortly before departing for New Orleans and Mardi Gras to try and get myself in the mood for some casual debauchery. Oh well. I feel that Buffett is occasionally capable of writing a nice melody, but most of his songs rely solely on his persona to sell themselves. And what does it say that his best song wasn't even written or performed by him? Blue bin!
