Before Jeff Tweedy and Co. became the modern day flag bearers for dad rock, they used to be a pretty decent rock and roll band. This is their debut album, and my favorite from them. My favorite tracks from this record are "I Must Be High", "Casino Queen", "Box Full of Letters", "It's Just That Simple" and "Passenger Side". I've been very critical of this band as of late, and won't give any of their recent stuff the time of day, but I will always love this one.
Take a listen to "Box Full of Letters" ...
If I've said it once, I've said it a charquillion times, Elton John was by far the greatest album artist of the 70's. This is a masterpiece, and I may have ranked this too low, now that I think of it. "Tiny Dancer", "Levon", "Madman Across the Water", "Indian Sunset", "Rotten Peachers", "Goodbye" ... this is a must vinyl purchase.
By the way, charquillion is a made up number by my daughter. She describes the number as "a number that's as long as my bedroom". I don't know about you, but that sounds pretty high to me!
Here's "Levon" ...
