Pink Moon is my desert island record. Such haunting beauty in the atmosphere he cultivates with no more than his voice and guitar (piano bit off the title track notwithstanding). Those elemental lyrics really complement the music itself too. I can't think of an album I've gotten lost in more frequently than this one.
As for his other two full-lengths, Bryter Layter is solid in its own right whereas I could never really get into Five Leaves Left. The orchestration is a tad too heavy-handed for me.
