Tenacious D: The Pick of Destiny Epic Records If you like Jack Black's on-screen antics than you'll love Tenacious D's sophomore effort The Pick of Destiny. Black's irreverent humor shines through on the entire album (with band mate Kyle Gass) on such tracks as "Dude (I Totally Miss You)" and "Kickapoo," which starts the disc off with the musical equivalent to a punch in the face. Although Black sweetly croons out "Baby," a love ballad for the ladies, the track features more F-bombs than L-words. Stranger
