Tipographica - God Says I Can't Dance (1996)
I've always appreciated how Tipographica blend some of the catchiest modal and spiritual jazz influences with free jazz chaos, but this one is especially sublime.
Stephen Bishop - Red Cab To Manhattan (1980)
Fantastic. It's not only a yacht rock masterpiece, but an occasionally punchy experimental pop outing that recalls some of the Beach Boys's best work too. Throw in some Zappa and a touch of Billy Joel and you've got a real zinger.
