(There's also the UHF soundtrack and other stuff from 1989, but I can only put 10 options on a poll so I left that one out.)
My favorite is probably Off the Deep End but I really like all of the ones I've heard. The only two albums I never heard in their entirety are Polka Party and the UHF soundtrack.

I vote for
None Of The Above 
( which I know was not a choice in the poll) because I'm not really a fan of Weird Al. I don't dislike him-just not a fan. I've seen only a few of his video parodies.

I know that people don't really appreciate Al's music given the fact that it's comedy, but the best concert I have ever been to was Weird Al!
This guy's show was amazing. Lights, video, costume changes, the best band I have ever heard. When you think about the different styles they do and how flawless it is, wow!
I have to say that it's hard to pick one album. Even Worse was hilarious! But I have to agree that off the deep end was the album that brought him out of the 80's so much. Alot of witty stuff on that album. Plus he nailed Nirvana perfect.
"Well I'm mumbling, and I'm screaming. But I don't know what I am singing. Crank the volume, ears are bleeding. I still don't know, what I'm singing."
This message is much more than just six words long

Weird Al is one of the few people I know who made fun of the 80's during the 80's.
Of the 9 albums I've heard, Even Worse is probably my least favorite - mainly because it lacks a polka medley. I thought every album from In 3-D on up was supposed to have one of those!
There are definite winners on Even Worse though - "I Think I'm a Clone Now" is just superb humor, and "Fat" and "This Song's Just Six Words Long" are highpoints too. Did Al write the lyrics to "Twister" or did he get them from a TV commercial?
Yeah, the Nirvana parody is great. I love rapping along with "I Can't Watch This" and "The Plumbing Song." But it doesn't get any better than "Taco Grande." I actually managed to find the lyrics to the all-Spanish portion of the song.
The only Al song I can't stand is "Genius in France" from Poodle Hat - what was he thinking??? That song doesn't do it for me. But the rest of that album is a masterpiece, especially the first 3 songs and the "Angry White Boy Polka." Wakeup, grababrushandputalittlemakeup, hidethescarstofadeawaytheshakeup, whydyouleaveyourkeysuponthetable!

I kinda like weird al, but most of his stuff that I remember was from the 80's.
I kinda was listening to other stuff at the time.
I'll have to catch up on him some day.
but wait there's more - it's not sold in any store!

If you wanna buy more, I doubt you'll find 'em in stores. It's prob'ly best to order CD's from the Internet. I suggest Amazon because they offer low prices.
