> Essential Andrew Gold albums? All of them. 

*I get the feeling I am going to like his work a lot. Whirlwind is a real find.

If you've already got "Whirlwind" 
> then definately pick up his first three albums before that; "Andrew Gold", 
> "What's Wrong With This Picture" and "All This And Heaven Too". Strong 
> songwriting and great arrangements. 

*Whichever the album is where he's in a suit and top hat I remember hearing a bit of it back in the day and enjoying it, but it's been a while.

> "Whirlwind" is the rockiest of his first four albums. Maybe "edgier" would be 
> a better description as the previous three also have some really fantastic 
> uptempo songs with punch. His ballads are really emotional songs that stick 
> with you. Extremely well done and deserved more recognition back in the 
> seventies. 

*Lonely boy is a stone cold classic pop track from the 70's still holds up extremely well after all these years where some from that time don't....and the production is excellent.

> 
> "The Fraternal Order Of The All" is worth searching out as Andrew really nails 
> so many of his sixties influences. A really fun album. 

*I'm a huge 60's music fan so this one's a given.
Thanks for taking the time, (everybody). Nothing like finding these killer pop hidden gems.
I got a nice list here that I'm sure will be filled quickly.
