Walker Brothers "Night Flights" (just the Scott songs)

Liars "They Were Wrong So We Drowned"

MC5 "Back In The USA" (sounds like a "sellout" to me! Tiny, tinny pop tunes like a more subversive version of The Monkees. Didn't sell nearly as well as the debut.)

The Guess Who "So Long Bannatyne" (their weirdest LP from 1971, though it did score a minor hit "Rain Dance" -- after the huge run of top 10 smashes leading up to this, it was end of the line for big hits.)

Bob Dylan "John Wesley Harding" (not at all what fans expected in 1967 and containing no hit singles. I would further say THIS is the album that started the whole "softer adulter rock" movement that leads to "Sweetheart of the Rodeo", Crosby Stills & Nash, The Eagles, James Taylor, etc. BUT "JWH" is a great Dylan album in spite of what in inspired . . . )

Lou Reed "Metal Machine Music" (of course!)

Neil Young -- lots of times!! ;-)

Emerson Lake & Palmer "Works Vol. 1" (no actually it stinks! "Love Beach" is much more enjoyable!)

Styx "Kilroy Was Here" (just kidding! It ended their career cuz it SUXX.)
