Title: What would/should be on the next S&W collection?
Post by: wwwes on April 02, 2010, 09:18:13 AM: Was thinking about this yesterday. The last collection ended with calls from 2006, so there's a lot of good material to work from. If it were me (and assuming 3 discs could still be done), I'd try to make the tracklist:

Todd Palin
Darren & the Corporate Battle of the Bands
Ken Rogers 1

Philly Boy Roy is a Humanitarium
Rick Stevens (Washington Generals guy)
Ken Rogers 2

Big and Little Bill
Shawn From Rampbridge (plane crash survivor)
Ken Rogers 4

I know we can always listen to archives and Best Show Gems, but there's always something awesome about popping in a CD and hearing the calls in crisp, clear form. Any other ideas?

Post by: crumbum on April 02, 2010, 11:47:29 AM: Great list Wes. The Big/Little Bill call is one of my all time favourites.

The late '08 double bill of Chris Langstrom, of the band The Wednesday Rockets, followed by his father, Rod, is another classic I'd love to see included.

Agreed. Just re-listened to it a few nights ago. So many funny turns in that call. "Reams."

I've played this as an intro for people as well. Possibly Tom's finest performance? Also, the way that 'Bruce Willis' wants to brutally murder him but will still only allow himself to call Tom a "piece of filth" gets funnier every time he says it, especially after the howling has started.

April 8, 2003. I think my favorite part of playing this for newbies is the fact that they often can't tell whether it's real or not.
