I haven't heard _Jordan_ (yet), but I do swear by _Swoon_. _Swoon_ and
_Two Wheels Good_ are quite different, although there are a few songs
from _Swoon_ that would not be out of place on _Two Wheels Good_ 
(_Technique_ and _Elegance_ come to mind).

I've seen copies at Tower Records a couple of times (and I don't
get there often).

I see this stated all the time. _Protest Songs_ says on the back that
it was recorded in '85 AFTER _Two Wheels Good_. If you like TWG, then
I would guess that you would like _Protest Songs_. 

If you are desperate for _Protest Songs_ and can't find it, try
Music Machine in Owings Mills, MD. That's where I got mine. I'm pretty
sure they do mail order. There phone number is (301) 356-4567.
