I've never heard any 'mainstream' Coe, so I don't know how it compares.

I don't know that any of his albums are good all the way through, but The Mysterious Rhinestone Cowboy, Longhaired Redneck, Tattoo, and The Ghost of Hank Williams all have some real high spots. Invictus means Unconquered also has a great reputation, but I haven't heard it. Avoid the compilations though, because I don't think he's ever released a good one.
As far as the offensive stuff goes, Nothing's Sacred is better than the Underground Album. 18 x-rated hits has just about all the songs on both. And there really are some good funny novelty tunes on these as well as some dreck as well as a few songs that are just too too offensive, such that you might want to avoid them all together.

I don't know his XXX/KKK "underground" LPs at all, but here's how I'd approximately rank the regular issue ones I've got:
1. Human Emotions (1978)2. Rides Again (1977)3. Longhaired Redneck (1976)4. Penitentiary Blues (c. 1970; reissue as Hacktone CD 2005)5. Spectrum VII (1979)6. I've Got Something To Say (1980)
All worth owning, though (especially if you find cheap copies like I did. -- Thought I had Once Upon A Rhyme, too, but I'm not seeing a copy on my shelf, so maybe I decided not to keep that one.)
Best CD sampler I know is The Essential David Allan Coe (Sony 2004); best vinyl sampler is Greatest Hits (Columbia 1978).

the actual reason i revised it to ask, should i get tix to see him this spring? what is the david allan coe live experience like in 2010? i'm very much inclined to go, just want to make sure he can still bring it and all.
