I and II are the apex of LZ for me. there are some other good things from
LZ, but those two records, WOW

"Time between the wars" by Al Stewart. Now this is an album that
goes by like a breath of air....it starts, it flows, it concludes.

I like nearly all of the Led Zeppelin albums (except "Coda", and possibly
"Presence" when I'm in an uncharitable mood) but I wouldn't agree with
Chris that I and II are "the apex of LZ." For me those two albums suffer
a bit, in this day and age, from the 60s-English-guys-who-wanted-to-be-
20s-delta-bluesmen syndrome. Although their blues homages are certainly
not bad, I enjoyed the band's work more once they developed their own
style. I'd say that III and Physical Graffiti are my favorites.

Curiously, I have never heard "III;" that's the next one on my shopping
list.

I'm not a fan of III, however IV I can listen to, if I skip over Stairway.
I think part of the reason I dislike III is that it's recorded so poorly,
but that's just me ;-)

Talking Heads, "Speaking In Tongues." I think this answers the question of
whether it was the Talking Heads or Eno that made me like "Remain In Light."
This one doesn't appeal to me nearly as much as "Remain In Light" did.

Dead Can Dance - "Saltarello". It's a great, old Italian dance
number. I dig it. =)

re #161: If you like heavily Eno-fied Talking Heads then I'd urge you
to try any of the following that you haven't already got:
David Byrne -- score to "The Catherine Wheel"
Eno -- "Here Come the Warm Jets"
"Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy)"
"Another Green World"
"Before and After Science"
Byrne & Eno -- "My Life in the Bush of Ghosts"
Talking Heads -- "Fear of Music"
"More Songs About Buildings and Food"

Robyn Hitchcock, "A Star for Bram" - a mail order-only CD of outtakes
from his latest release, "Jewels for Sophia." It's definitely better
than the somewhat patchy "Jewels," but not spectacular.

Go soundtrack. LIke many films of late, I liked the soundtrack better than
the movie.

Hedningarna, FIRE. Good compilation for the US market of the KAKSI and
TRA albums from this Scandinavian electro-trad band who I have written
about before. Sony Tristar failed completely in marketing it, however.
It's now officially deleted, though I still see copies surfacing at
Borders now and then.

Pete Townshend, "Lifehouse Chronicles", disc 3 (experiments).
Some pretty interesting things here, like the currently running remake of "Who
Are You". Not sure if I like the rapper that appears on a couple of these
tracks, but the remakes are really cool productions.
(Yes, a lot of songs from the album "Who Are You" were also Lifehouse songs)

(Actually, it's pretty interesting to see how better a singer Townshend has
become. He's got a low range and everything!)
