I would add Andy Partridge (XTC) and Ray Davies certainly ranks highly too.

SOTT lives!

  It's great to hear this. There's a very narrow list of artists who 
  simply seem incapable of bad work. Even the stuff that's off by their 
  standards is better than most everybody else's best work. There's a 
  richness and insight to Karl's music that's incredibly rare - he's like 
  an athlete in the zone, except he's /always/ in the zone.

  I'm sure everybody here has their own list of people who fit that mold. 
  For me, it's

      * World Party
      * eels
      * Peter Gabriel
      * Don Dixon
      * Van Morrison (has an off-day occasionally, but not many folks have
        been as good as long)
      * Graham Parker (ditto)

  "...it's a lonesome thing to be passing small towns 
  with the lights shining sideways when the night is down, 
  or going in strange places with a dog nosing before you 
  and a dog nosing behind, or drawn to the cities where 
  you'd hear a voice kissing and talking deep love in every 
  shadow of the ditch, and you passing on with an empty, 
  hungry stomach failing from your heart."

                   John Millington Synge
