Thanks. Its a hits mix but it's a pretty good picture of his solo stuff at least the albums I know. I lost track of him after Us.

Please share your thoughts.

i'm honestly really loving it. this is really hitting some sort of sweet spot that i've been looking to hit with rock music. about halfway through right now. just finished "And Through the Wire". really liked that song.
