George Harrison - All Thing Must Pass - Pretty limpid this. Certainly not as good as his stuff in that other band I forgot the name of. I do like "Apple Jams".
Jeff Beck - Blow by Blow - Nicely done enough. Not much harmonic or modal complexity, though. Coupla songs sound as if he's just noodling.
Jeff Beck - Flash - Nobody recommended this but I liked the "People Get Ready" cover enough. But.... this one blows... by blow.....
XTC - Black Sea and English Settlement - similar in mood. Chunka chunka chords with catchy bits. Nice enough.
Captain Beefheart - Lick my Decals Off, Baby - complete turnaround from Trout Mask, going back to more conventional jazz and blues structures. Not bad, great even. Heavily layered.
Suicide - Suicide - Minimalist drone post-punk. "Frankie Teardrop" scares the shit out of me.
Dennis Wilson - Pacific Ocean Blue - takes time to get into it. Again, the catchier songs catch my ears first - "Rainbows" and "Friday Night". He sounds wizened and aged, though.
Genesis - Selling England by the Pound - Excellent! Whimsical complex prog-folk English-y songs. A fave here, I suppose?
The Who - Who Are You? - Got this due to George Starostin's glowing review. However, the synth-arena rock sound so great on "Who's Next?" is showing its creaks.
And others I haven't digested properly yet.
