Box Tops-Cry like a baby
Brenton Woods-Gimme some kond of sign girl
Climax Blues Band-Couldn't get it right

Paul Simons solo work after he split with Garfunkel, and before the Graceland album is seriously under appreciated, and Im not talking about 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover...

Kodachrome
Take Me To The Mardi Gras
Mother And Child Reunion
One Trick Pony
Hearts And Bones
Still Crazy After All These Years
I Do It For Your Love
Late In The Evening
New York

His post Graceland albums "Rhythm of the Saints" and "Song From the Capeman" are also incredible...

I'm going with Badly Drawn Boy's first album, The Hour of Bewildebeest. I put it on last night for the first time in years, and realised just how good it is.
