These guys are often neglected, probably because of that money for nothing video, but they’re awesome musicians and it’s time I included them in my music collection.

Ok fans name me the top must own albums of theirs:

1. Making Movies

The only one I have and is my favorite. Has Romeo & Juliet on it as well as Espresso Love and many other incredible songs. I keep meaning to pick up the CD with S of S on it, but I hear it so often on the radio I don't bother.

update:

i got 2 of the 3 albums in and i'm pleased with both of them. I got On Every Street and Making Movies. I like both but i'm leaning towards OES as my favorite. Best song "Calling Elvis" but theres plenty of good ones. On Making movies "Romeo and Juliet" is good but there are other that are even better.

Ton, if you've got some way to d/l music, seach for Monte Montgomery's New and Improved (Live Recordings) and Covers Live. good ****. 1 of those is a 2 disc set that apparently isn't suported by Monte, and i believe it's put out by Antone's Records, which is based here in Austin.
