    I also like "Infidels" a lot - it may well be the Dylan album I most enjoy. Don't think it's objectively his "best", but it's a good listen.

    I think it got good reviews overall, didn't it?

    I'm not a diehard Doors fan, but despite what most critics and fans say, I really enjoy listening to Waiting for the Sun.
    The cover is pretty cool too.

    Jethro Tull - Songs from the Wood

    The album got its fair share of recognition, but I don't think it is seen as one of the best Tull albums. I love it though.

    It's one of their many masterpieces, but some people checked out after three albums, unfortunately.

    Hmm... I wouldn't say that I love it, but I think that the Stones' Dirty Work is not as bad as its reputation would suggest. And while the production sucks, think about it: in 1986, how many of the classic '60s and '70s bands were still using that much guitar? There's only a few songs where the keyboards push their limits but I never find them overbearing, and while the drum machines suck (especially on "Too Rude") and Mick does his best to bark out every song like it's "Lies Part 2", I can't call any of the songs dull or lifeless. It might be misplaced energy, but this album still has more energy (and for that matter, guitar) than most classic bands' entire '80s discographies.

    The songs are kinda hit and miss and there's only one song I'd consider a stone-cold classic ("One Hit To The Body" - look at that lineup, the supergroup that got away!), I don't think any of the songs are terrible. The two Keef songs are magnificently placed, some blessed relief from Mick's punkish barking. Is it as good as any of their '70s albums? No. But I think it's a good deal better than what most people seem to think it is.

    Oh, I also love In Through The Out Door.

    Great album, but many silly people think that if there's no Ozzy or Dio, then it isn't worth listening to. Iommi is always worth listening to!!!
