A Top 20-something
A minute to think, no looking through the library, forgetting tons and tons of candidates. No particular order.
Bob Dylan - John Wesley Harding
Rolling Stones - Beggar's banquet
Sammy Walker - s/t
Van Der Graaff Generator - Still life
Peter Hammill - The silent corner and the empty stage
Graham Parker - Howlin' wind
Free - All of them (including box sets, boots)
Taste - s/t
Rory Gallagher - s/t
Willard Grant Conspiracy - Pilgrim Road
Decemberists - The hazards of love
Magnolia Electric Co - Josephine
Jethro Tull - Stand up
Wu Tang Clan - 36 chambers
Black Uhuru - Red
Anderson East - Delilah
Delines - Colfax
Frankie Miller - The rock
Fairport Convention - Liege and lief
Traffic - John Barleycorn must die
Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers
Mink DeVille - Coup de grace
Drive by Truckers - The dirty south
Stephen Stills - s/t
Midnight Choir - Amsterdam stranded
So. If I can convert just 1 BCB'er to just 1 of these, I'll die a happy man.

What, just one from each artist? I could do almost 20 from a single artist.

Re: A Top 20-something
I always loved Graham Parker’s Squeezing Out Sparks, so I’ll go for your GP choice first.
Quite a bit here I’m unfamiliar with to check out, though.

Re: A Top 20-something
I know, my friends, I know. I could do that as well.
But I just thought 'what's the best album I like from a single artists'.
And, remember, I only thought for a minute about this.

As I said, if you find just 1 unfamiliar and like, my job is done.

Re: A Top 20-something
OK. I'll try the Drive By Truckers. I really don't fancy any of the others that I don't already know.

Re: A Top 20-something
So I tried a Sammy Walker song called Catcher In The Rye, which was nice, but totally early Bob Dylan.
And one Bob is enough for me.

I always say that's the Dylan album Bob himself never made.

Okay, I’ll give it more of a chance.

Peter Hammill was my 'find' of 2020, maybe I'll try Graham Parker this year...

Re: A Top 20-something
Howlin' Wind is my favourite GP album, followed by Heat Treatment then Squeezing Out Sparks. Lucky enough to see GP & Rumour play in a small venue (Bulmershe Teacher Training College) around the time Howlin' Wind came out. An absolute stormer of a gig.
Anderson East is completely new to me. As I type have just started listening & first impression is good, very Fame /Muscle Shoals. Thanks!

I've always liked the sound of them, but never got round to listening. I played that album yesterday and wasn't sure what to make of it. I'll definitely try it at least another two times and see if it grows on me. I have this idea that they have a very large back catalogue so it would be quite handy to find that I do like them.
