You're really underrating ROUGH MIX, which was half Ronnie Lane, you know.

Suicane Gratifaction is a better album than you give it credit for. Well, I think so anyway.

Simon can be a jerk, but I've always thought Hearts and Bones was an excellent album. Good call on that one.

And the music, which adds an Eastern flavor to the usual cowboy-movie soundtrack trappings, is gorgeous. This has been a favorite film of mine for many years.

I thought "Sally Can't Dance" was Reed's best selling album at that time, ending up in the top 10…rack jobbers in small town Kentucky even put it out in our drugstores.

Don't forget Rod Stewart's "Three Time Loser".

Wait- you show a pic from "Daddy's Little Monster" on top and don't even discuss it in the post?

Look for the album he recorded with Tony Ashton, 1974's First of the Big Bands. It's more soul/jazzish than Purplish, but I love it. RIP.

No, the best version of Thunderbolts is now called (ugh) Dark Avengers and is by Jeff Parker, Declan Shalvey, and Kev Walker.

Eno's contributions to the June 1, 1974 live album with Kevin Ayers, John Cale and Nico are well worth checking out- he does a nice version of "Driving Me Backwards", and I prefer the live "Baby's on Fire" here to the studio version.

I've long said that "Taking Tiger Mountain" will be on my funeral playlist, probably at the end.

I thought "Another Fine Meth" was kinda funny. Nice likenesses by the artist. After that…blechh.
