I used to love (and know by heart) Eddie Murphy's old stuff.

[Cabrini Green]

Redd Foxx can always make me laugh with his comedy act. What a great entertainer. He could always deal with touchy subjects and wasn't afraid to laugh at himself.
Cheech & Chong's Greatest hit with Sister Mary Elephant and Sargent Stadanko.
I listened to Adam Sandler's Toll Booth Willy when it came out alot.

I really like my edgar allen poe Cd where creepy Christopher Walken reads the Raven. This same Cd also holds some interesting guest Artists that include everyone from Iggy Pop to David Byrne. Another great spoken word album is THE UGLY ONE WITH THE JEWELS by the performance artist Laurie Anderson

Cheech and Chong's Greatest Hit

[Psychocandy]

Bill Hicks all the fucking way. My favorite is probably Rant In E-Minor. It's the most vitriolic comedy performance i've ever heard. Kinda sad also as it is among his final performances...I guess the level of antipathy present in the material was just him trying to lash out at as many targets as possible before he passed on. A legend. A fucking legend. And he's never been more sorely missed than during the last few years with the new Bush regime in power.

Other than those i'm a big fan of Henry Rollins spoken word cds. My initial experience of Rollins was through his music and I would never have had him pegged as an intelligent and very funny raconteur.

[dionysus]

i listened to it once, that is more than i have listened to any other spoken word cd.

Lovely memories. Also love all the Monty Python Flying Circus audio.

My favourite is something probably only Aussie Schmoes know about, and that's 'The Twelfth Man' by Billy Birmingham.
