That's probably my main problem, that I prefer music with a wider sound. John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band and The Beach Boys' Wild Honey are the only examples I come up with where the sparse arrangements positively appeal to me (and those are still more layered than Pink Moon).
Oh, that reminds me that I still need to check out the albums from your "Worst Albums Ever"-chart that I haven't heard. So far, none of the 8 albums that I already know have disappointed me!

Absolutely, well said. There is no excuse NOT to have this in ones top 100.

Other than the fact that one might not like it enough to be in their top 100?

You mean "I don't enjoy it at all" isn't a valid excuse?

It's perfect to listen to from start to finish. I'm always upset it's over.
I'm confused why people find such a short album so boring.

I actually listened to it again today. It was better this time and not boring, but I also listened to his two other albums and as it is today, I find Five Leaves Left to be his best album. I guess I'm a sucker for strings!
