Hejira for sure, then Hissing of Summer Lawns.

I'm a big Jaco fan so I love the stuff he did with Joni.

If it weren't for that wretched Sex Kills track mucking things up, it would be a perfect album for me.

I've never heard travelogue - that's the album of orchestral re-recordings, right? I've noticed you praising it a few times. I'll have to check it out one of these days.

My problem with sex kills has more to do with the words more than the music, so I can't see myself liking it much no matter what kind of arrangement it's given. It's one of those rare lyrics that completely rubs me the wrong way. No profound reason for it - I just think they're a little daft.

Songs to a Seagull and Court and Spark get honorable mention

Understandable.

I just think it's cool to see you lovin' on a female artist so much. biggrin
