1-3 i'll pass on; 4 John; 5 pass; 6 c, if you count the songs that came out of the Infidels sessions, which for me are Bob's best; 7-9 pass; 10b-loved Car 54; 11b-Lynde, but Gobel a close second; 12-16 pass; 17 tossup between Allen and Paar; check out the Youtube of a very young Frank Zappa on Allen's show; and Paar's shows with Jonathan Winters and Oscar Levant were priceless; 18 tossup between Sinatra and Cole; 19-21 pass; 22 Have Gun all the way; 23 Self Portrait; also Down in the Groove; 24 no; 25 black and white trumps color always.
