Yep, for me, it's her tighest LP. 'I Know You, I Live You' is my favorite cut.

Co-sign about 'Off the Wall' and 'Superfly Soundtrack'. With Superfly, the lyrics are just as powerful and relevant now as they were in 1972.

A lot of collections, which I don't like to put on these kind of lists. But Urgh! is something I had to look up. I don't know how I missed it, being an '80s kid.
