Judging from the response here, I am probably in a minority, but I have to say YES.
I don't like everything he has done. His last cd New Day at Midnight (?) was crap and I couldn't listen to it more than a couple of times.
He tends to have moments of brilliance in my opinion, and moments of utter shite too. I recently downloaded a recording of him live in Washington DC earlier this year and he performs one track from his new album called "From Here You Can ALmost See The Sea" which brought tears to my eyes when I first heard it. The album version of the same song was a bit diappointing after hearing the live version.
So sorry to say it, but yes I like some of his stuff. Babylon still reminds me of a fabulous trip I made back to England a few years ago. I guess it must have been about the time White Ladder was released in the UK as my brother and his wife were playing it in the car as we travelled around. Everytime I hear the song I am taken back in time...
