Well...can't comment on the RDJ, not having heard it, but I can say that the 
William Shatner(/Ben Folds) album has a few inspired cuts. I think the cover 
of Pulp's "Common People" is great, and there are several other solid cuts 
such as "It Hasn't Happened Yet" and "You're Gonna Die" and "That's Me 
Trying" (a Nick Hornby cowrite w/ Aimee Mann bkgd vox) to name a few. That 
said, I do agree with quite a few of the other top 10 reasons. :-)
