Point of Know Return- 2nd vote for the title track. Velvet Underground- I’ll go with “Candy Says”, about Candy Darling, a transvestite and favorite of Andy Warhol who committed suicide. Sung hauntingly by Doug Yule.

I’m still in Europe so apologies for the delay in this response. I completely miffed on ZZ Top. Both their first album and Tres Hombres should have been on my list. So so good. As good as blues rock gets and that’s my favorite genre. As for This Years Model my vote would be for “This Year’s Girl”.

It’s a little top heavy for me. I love the first two songs.

Maggot Brain is my favorite album cover ever.

No. You lose. And my word is final.

Two of my favorite albums obviously, but I am a folkie at heart. Bob might as well have been singing about Taylor: “She’s got everything she needs, she’s an artist, she don’t look back.” I defy anyone to offer a prettier song than “My Tears Ricochet” for the 21st century. I defy anyone to...

I don’t think I could exactly hide it. But everyone has been very friendly.

I want to go to both. Any city or place in particular?

Yep this is correct. The concert album features all the great vocalists, particularly Ian Gillan of Deep Purple as Jesus, Murray Head as Judas, and Mike D’Abo of Manfred Mann as Herod. One of my favorite aspects of the blues rock era of the late 60s/early 70s is the stylizing of the British...

Hejira for me is average but “Coyote” is so good. Maybe a top 5 Mitchell song of all time. And the live performance from a certain famous concert movie is sublime.

I realized something about myself. I don’t like synthesizers. Why do I love the early ZZ Top Albums? The early Free albums? The early Led Zeppelin Albums? The first Jackson Browne Album? The Black Keys covers of Junior Kimbrough? The North Mississippi All Stars? The acoustic version of Taylor...

As always I appreciate all the responses to these lists, which I admit are the height of narcissism. Thanks to all.

I strongly considered Private Parts
