Was my No. 1 for a long time, still could be today. Such simple, understated music. Even with such a basic set up they deliver something special in each and every song. Thick, whistful atmosphere, while maintaining raw kids-in-a-rock-band spirit.

'Blue Thunder' is the soundtrack to my life. 'Strange' is so good I sometimes can't believe it exists. The closing George Harrison cover is definitive.

This album transports me to a place of complete comfort.

A true unlikely masterpiece. Pure, earnest and brimming with heart and soul. I can totally see why people would be put off by its lack of technical prowess but for me that's part of its charm. It hits such heights of emotion with such limited means.

This album took a while to grow on me. I thought it was way too slow and a little boring, but I've come to enjoy it.

I think i like Today a bit more. And the Luna albums Bewitched and Penthouse also. They are ALWAYS in my Top 100.
