I always felt Recent Songs was a standout musically. Live 94 is also very good.
The Future (boosted mainly by the presence of Tacoma Trailer) and Songs of Love and hate come in behind those two.

I have no idea how I'm gonna decide.
You gotta get more albums!

My favorites vary from day to day, but I can not imagine a Cohen fan not knowing The Future and Various Positions. All have something to recommend them in my opinion. Ten New Songs getting better with each listen.
