One of my faves is the ending for The Convalescent. There's like three different parts - all with harmonies - going on at the same time. It's goddamazing.

Where's the option for My Guernica?

The "Hello?" bit is clearly the best, in which he's probably greeting the pizza delivery man.

I love love LOVE it during the video of Ready For Drowning of JDB with John Cale (I think) where he absolutely nails the scream before the end - although that is totally the wrong description as it is far too angelic for that.

Must track down clips of when they performed with John Cale.
