Introduction
Some artists have a volume of work, like Jimmy Buffett for example. I think I must have around 27 albums (not including any compilations or live albums), which comes down to humndreds of songs. However I notice I generally only listen to a handful (rather large handful) of songs.
Not everyone is a parrothead, but then most don’t know what they are missing out on. Anyway, in no particular order, this is a list of my favorite Buffett songs (the ones that usually end up on my playlists). Note: some of the more popular and well known songs(like Nautical Wheelers or Changes in Attitude Changes in Latitude) did not make it.
The List
