I have all four, and actually Dirty Rotten Scoundrels probably gets played the most. I love Piazza and Bee... not so much a fan of Spamalot... but I think it all comes down to what I can have the most fun singing along to. I could never even try to sing Piazza, and since I just got Bee a few nights ago I don't know the words as well as DRS yet. I know that's a lame reason for listening to a CD, but it's true.
I listen to SpamAlot the most, followed in second to DRS because there both just so hysterical. I don't have any interest in seeing Bee, so I didn't buy the album, and I don't have Piazza. ________________________________________________________________ "You can sing, you can dance and you won't soil your pants.

I do not enjoy spamalot at all on cd. Piazza on the other hand is a beautiful transfer to cd. Spelling Bee as well, made a wonderful transistion. I've been listening to Bee and Piazza constantly since I got them. DRS I listen to once in a while, but not NEARLY as much as Bee and Piazza.
well got Spelling Bee today....love it....Piazza is first,Spelling Bee 2nd,DRS next(found more i like since last night),then Spamalot....but all are enjoyable to me
I agree, Piazza, Piazza, Piazza. Mine does leave my CD player though... To come into the car with me... And then out into my computer at work (yes, I listen to it at work on repeat, softly and I have to bit my finger sometimes to stop singing softly along, but my coworkers don't mind because if it's soft it's just background music for them), and then back into my car. And then back into my stereo. And then the process repeats. I can't stop! Today I even said, okay, I'm going to finish this go round (you know, listen to all the songs) and then pull it out and give something else a try, but no. Right after Fable I heard the overture start and there I was, right along with it, not taking it out.
But whoever said Little Women, actually, before I got Piazza, that's what I was listening to the most as well. It grew on me very quickly (except for 'The Most Amazing Thing' and that Aunt March number--can I get an ick?) and I was listening to it much more than DRS or Spamalot.
PIAZZA when I am in the Shower PIAZZA on the Subway to work than I sing PIAZZA at work still getting the timing of "THE BEAUTY IS" that corduroys line is a bitch and than PIAZZA when i get home and drink Wine DRS when i pee cause it's so funny and I Love Sherie's voice and Lithgow's Timing and Norbert's Butt "I'll meet the BOY again"
Well, I listen to Spamalot the most although today was devoted pretty much entirely to Spelling Bee and yesterday to Piazza. Although I've seen each of the Best Musical nominees more than once, I just cannot listen to the Scoundrels CD. There's maybe...three songs on it I'll listen to and even that's rare. I just don't enjoy that recording but I think the other three are amazing.
I was split between DRS and Spamalot because they are both funny but now I'm obsessed with Piazza and I refuse to listen to anything else. I honestly can't skip a single song. I worship Adam Guettel for giving me this music.

I don't have Spelling Bee, yet, but I must say that I love Piazza - I think it's one of the best scores to hit Broadway in years. Spamalot and DRS are great, for a laugh, but I definitely listen to Piazza the most.
PIAZZA PIAZZA PIAZZA. I don't really understand how it's hard to sing along to, unless you're having problems with the Italian. If you sing along with anything by Sondheim then Piazza is a breeze.
BB06-I don't understand it either. Piazza is such a joy to listen to and so fun to sing along with. I love the Italian, it's not hard to get used to at all.

I do love Scoundrels, though, so the next time I have a deep hankering to hear Give Them What They Want, I will put it on.
I bought the Spamalot recording when it was released for $11.99 at Tower, and it's been a wasted $11.99, as I have never listened to it and have no desire to start. Oh well.
