It's a very tough call, but I guess I'd give the nod to Everybody Knows.
BLd63, I'm also surprised at the popularity of Hawks & Doves. Go figure.
And I will vigorously defend Everybody's Rockin' as the best of his albums for Geffen (although that may not be saying much). It's artistically insubstantial, but it is kinda fun. There's nothing fun about having to sit through Life or Landing On Water. . .
