Like David Bash, my first album -- purchased with my hard-earned allowance
savings -- was Paul and Linda McCartney's "Ram". Hearing "Uncle
Albert/Admiral Halsey" on the radio during the Summer of '71 was a
revelation; the first section, to this day, destroys me. I obsessed over
this album and worked my 9-year old ASS off around the house to earn extra
money to buy it.
My most recent "purchase" (a download, actually) is Mike Keneally's "The
Universe Will Provide"; as much as I love "Ram", I can honestly say that --
for where my musical mind is these days -- the Keneally piece is "better"
(as far as what I'm getting out of it, musically). Of course, I've had
(gasp!) thirty years to assimilate "Ram", so that might be a factor.
Nothing can beat "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey", as far as perfect pop goes.
Nothing.
