James Taylor -- One Man Dog

  Man ... I get Lester Bangs' theory on One Man Dog, having the short interlude-esque tracks making Taylor's sound an easier pill to swallow ... forget that, it's a terrible album, Sweet Baby James may be corny, but way better!

The Byrds -- Younger Than Yesterday

 A perfect example of what was, what is and what's going to come ... the swing of the early albums, the psychedelia of Fifth Dimension and the twang of Sweethreart!

Flamin' Groovies -- Teenage Head

  Pretty much summing up what rock 'n' roll was all about by 1971, representing every era, with a feel for the three minute single.

Tom Waits -- Swordfishtrombones

  Swordfishtrombone sounds like an attempt to make sense of Beefheart's Trout Mask Replica, which inadvertently opened doors to Waits' cool whiskey drenched and late night dinner sound.

John Lennon -- Shaved Fish

  Shaved Fish is a comprehensive of great songs and hit numbers, making a terribly awkward best of mix.
