The first music concert I ever attended was Wierd Al at Pine Knob - now called DTE Energy Music Theater, where I also saw Ozzfest someyear (like it matters), Tom Petty, Curiosa festival, and Pearl Jam twice. /digress

I can't stand most of his pre-Bad Hair Day material. It just falls completely flat for me. Otherwise, it's about 50-50. For every "Your Horoscope For Today", there's a Mencia-level travesty like "The Saga Begins" or that almost-as-painful-as-eminem eminem parody.

I still consider his best parody to be "Amish Paradise", though "It's All About the Pentiums" and "Jerry Springer" come close.

His originals are indeed often his best songs. And the best one? No-brainer, it's also the best song of all time (narrowly edging out Beethoven's 9th, John Cage's 4'33" smoke break from his pretensions, and the Beatles' "Things We Said Today"):

Albuquerque.

He hates sauerkraut. That's all he was really trying to say.
