I got their first CD, but you can't have it, motherfucker!

I've been thinking, would you rather do a best song or best album game?

I think an album one would be a little easier to do, but I'll leave this up to you guys.

Well, I got so burned out on the road
Too many fags, too much blow
And then Mick and I split up and I said,
"Kid, it's time to take a little bit of a hiatus."
So I got myself a gig at the coffee shop
and I love it.
Why don't you take that corner booth,
I'll take your order in a minute...

Don't have any songs I want to nominate right now, but we'll see.

My apologies, I should have read the Op more carefully.
