Yeah, I own Girlfriend and nothing else. Great album, but I've never been that interested in the rest of his stuff.

Girlfriend is a masterpiece, and actually a very influential album. Altered Beast and 100% Fun are good, but not as great as the first.

He has a crunchy guitar sound that I really love, and very catchy riffs.

If you wanna hear some cool stuff, check out his duet covers with Susanna Hoffs. I really love her voice, and as a team they do some fantastic covers.

There are two volumes called "Under the covers". Vol 1 is all pop/rock songs from the 60s and vol2 is from the 70s. The songs are great choices too, not strictly mainstream stuff. Not exactly obscure, but album tracks. Really awesome collection of tunes on both volumes.

I especially like them doing Little Feat's "Willin" and Neil Young's "Everybody Knows this is Nowhere"

couldnt find the album versions on youtube (they sound way better together in the studio than here)

LINK(again album electric version is way better than this)
