Yep I recall that thread. I am longtime Zevon fan, starting in early 70's.
My favorite albums are 'WIND' and mid 70's release just called 'WARREN ZEVON'.
'Bad Luck Streak in Dancing School' and 'Exicitable Boy' are great, but then I like all his stuff. There is a big compilation album that I haven't seen called "I"ll Sleep When I'm Dead", that seems to have a great cross section of his songs listed. But I recommend you get every album you can, or at least give each a listen cause I think there are gems on them all.
I also just picked up a tribute album called "Enjoy Every Sandwich" which I enjoyed most of. Who knew Adam Sandler could sing. Also has Waddy Wachtel, Jackson Browne, Bob Dylan, Zevon's son Jordan, the Pixies and more.
Just google Zevon Discography like I did and it might help you narrow it down. There is a fair bit of replication of songs available, three or so 'best of' albums listed.
hope you get addicted..
cheers
