I love the original and the Pixies cover. Is it really their most well known? If so, it's probably because of the cover.

In my mind though 'psychocandy' is the best JAMC album, it is just hella raw and real. They released a single before that, and I need to get a copy, sounds like an out-take from 'psychocandy'...

I agree that Psychocandy is their best. Also, I think all of their singles (at least Upside Down) are compiled on Barbed Wire Kisses which, if it was a real album, would probably be my favorite.

there're no tunes on "Honey's Dead"

i didn't bother with the ones after that

Automatic is beautifully repetitive to me. Honey's Dead is fucking great.
I also don't much care about what they did after that album.

BWK only has one early single

the rest are B-Sides, alternate takes and outtakes

still great, though
