For me it's between "High Fidelity", "Temptation" and "New Amsterdam". Going for the latter.

Riot Act narrowly over Possession

"Love For Tender" = Smokey Robinson on lots of cheap speed, and I love it to bits.

lol, i wish i hadn't used up my 'great karaoke track' line on the Armed Forces poll because it counts double for 'Riot Act'. possibly my favourite Elvis C song on definitely my favourite of his albums. the conceit behind the album was great and they really made it work, i think.

"Riot Act." The demo version on the Rhino CD is also great.

I had no idea "Riot Act" was thought of so highly. It was always kinda a decent closer but not a favorite for me.

That's Side One for me, so it's actually at the middle of the album.

Praise the Lord, someone else. I can't listen to it any other way. My fave Elvis record and one of my faves by anyone. Couldn't pick a favorite, don't think.

New Amsterdam.
Also 'Motel Matches', 'Secondary Modern' and 'Black and White World' could be world beaters too.
