His last album is a work of heartbreaking and staggering genius. Warren Zevon is one of those music nerd secret handshakes. If you meet anyone who loves him you know they have great taste in music.

I used to work with this guy who was quiet and somewhat antisocial. He was a fighter. I could tell by how he walked. People were intimidated by him, myself included. One morning Werewolves of London came on the radio and I commented to everyone what a great songwriter Warren Zevon was. It was as if a switch had been thrown. After that we just had plenty to talk about!

Zevon is a perfect test because as far as obscure musicians he is mainstream. My personal super music nerd test is Chris Bell
