What's Your Favorite Rollins album?

Either today, or Wednesday, is Sonny's 74th birthday, and what better way to mark the event than to play some of his music? The question is, which album(s) to play? Plus 4? Sax Colossus? The Bridge? Tenor Madness? Freedom Suite? Which is your fav?

Alright, Way out West and Saxophone Collosus are probably
his best, but I love his guest spot on side two of Live
at Music Inn, Vol. 2 by the MJQ.

Way out West is a lot of fun, but Colossus is greatness. Alfie is its own category for great film tracks.
