"I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."

Gen X and Billy Idol are both way underrated!
Love John Cale's 'Paris 1919', that one was way down my list, never thought anyone would go there.
"Candy-O' was pretty damn good in retrospect; at the time it was considered kind of a disappointment (how could they top their debut?). "Shoo-Be-Do/Candy-O", "Nightspots", all that stuff kicked ass; they were shit-hot back then. Then it all went wrong the next year with "Panorama".
I'm surprised "Court & Spark" lasted that long, that one was huge back in '74. The only Joni Mitchell LP I ever owned (along with "Blue").One martini, two martini, three martini, floor.

Three mid-period songs you need to find on Youtube: "You," "I Wish You Well" and "Railroad Man."Originally posted by Kevin SeitzerWe pinch ran for Altuve specifically to screw over Mith's fantasy team.

H&O finally made the Rock Hall of Fame this year, this after being eligible since 1997. From what I understand, they never even made the ballot until recently!

Hall and Oates were a lot of fun live in the early 80s - I saw them and ELO together

Sad Wings of Destiny is friggin awesome, I was hoping someone would break the Priest cherry so I didn't have to decide. There's still another one of their classic albums out there, but I have a feeling it will lay dormant.
All the Young Dudes is another great one - hard to choose between it and Mott.
I wish I had more time to listen to all these other picks, I'll have to catch up before this thing's over.

"Call Me" I discovered during the draft. Al Green is another artist I have lots of songs by, but no albums ... until now that is.
"Neu!" is a record I have on a very long instrumental playlist. If you didn't know better, you'd think it was made sometime in the last 10 years and not 1971. One of those records that keeps popping up on "best of" lists, you eventually have to give it a spin. If you like Radiohead's later stuff or Sigur Ros, you'll probably dig this.
