Or, you know, anything by Todd Rundgren in the 70's.

While it isn't my favourite, Crooked Rain is the most accessible and the one I would also have recommended to Trollheart.

Radio City is their best but really all three are essential.

I prefer the tight, Beatley sound that Chris Bell brought to #1 Record. Third/Sister Lovers is generally regarded as their masterpiece, so TH might want to look at it instead.

Screw that, just listen to all three.

He should review Something/Anything.

I think all three are generally regarded as masterpieces, but I can't imagine TH liking Third more than the other two.

OK guys, let's get one thing straight here: I'm listening to one album per artiste, so choose which one you want me to do. I've a bigger workload than God and I sure ain't gonna add to it unnecessarily.It's easy to say "listen to them all" (and I know you're poking gentle fun but..) when you don't have all this work to do.

Anyway, I'll add one --- but only one --- to the list, so choose.
Thanks

Do the debut, #1 Record. It's the natural place to start, and I think you're more likely to enjoy it than Radio City or Third. Plus, if you like it, you can listen to all three in chronological order and thus hear their evolution.

Might I recommend Weezer's Blue Album and Pinkerton? I prefer Pinkerton, but others will tell you Blue is superior. If not, that's cool, I see you already have quite the queue. :)

I think instead of PIL's Metal Box you should listen to Flowers of Romance or First Issue. There's a possibility that you might like those two but (as much as I love the album) I don't see you taking any liking to Metal Box.

Radio City rocks harder and it has their best song. Pick that one.
