ALL of his 70s albums are worth the check. And speaking of his 80s albums, the one that has "Everybody" is the best from his 80s period.
Also, you need to get this album.... 
This is his protegee group and his production in there is top notch. | |

This is another favorite I posted before, from the album of the same name...although, IMO, it's the only great track on the album.... No Stranger To Love/Want You ... " I've got six things on my mind --you're no longer one of them." - Paddy McAloon, Prefab Sprout | |

I wouldn't relate her album quite as closely as RAMP to be a "protege", but he did produce it. | |

Also, get 'A Tear To A Smile' and 'Mystic Voyage'  It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.
