White Light White Heat
Pleasures of the Harbour
Horses
F♯ A♯ ∞
Eli & the 13th Confession
A Xmas Gift to You
New York Tendaberry
The Amazing Timi Yuro
Root Hog or Die
See You on the Other Side

Although only the first five really qualify (and yeah I know the Godspeed is officially an EP, but it's longer than others on the list so suck it up). The others are just really good, and on a level with a few dozen others. And of course I may have forgotten some. [Edit: yep, I forgot Hejira :roll: which should replace Root Hog or Die]
Albums aren't my strong suit

Black Cow is a total jam.

One day it's gonna click and you're gonna mourn the lost years you spent not listening to the Dan.

I shan't be sympathetic.

Not bad.

Altho' I bought that Nilsson Sings Newman a couple of years ago and couldn't believe how lacklustre it was.

Yes, I'm asking myself.

It’s a masterpiece, isn’t it?

Without a doubt. Number one for me.
Seven very fine (at least) songs, each with its own distinctive sound and arrangement that perfectly reflects the lyrics. I've Had Her is a thing of stunning beauty, a top ten song for me. The title track not far behind, Miranda, the Party, Outside of a Small Circle of Friends - Only Flower Lady and Cross My Heart dip a little, but still better than the best tracks on many albums.
