NOTE: 7/10 section is far from updated... Other sections are probably missing entries as well[/b]

The ones with underlines are my favs

Nice

Those are about as great as one is likely to find, not just for all time favorites, but also as touchstones to assimilate any of the rest if you haven't got to them yet

Thanks.
Not just for your comment, but also for helping me getting into Tim Buckley more. I still prefer Starsailor over Lorca though.

Theyre both masterpieces of the genre by any reasonable estimation. Lorca, while not as diverse or bold/colorful instrumentally, is altogether more honed to an all-pervasive purpose. It takes his art to a singular extreme in focused, introspective intensity and inward yearning that reaches down deep to cull a monstrous blues immersed in an infinite sorrow, expressed by phrases that are in a drastic and immense sigh; tense, pained and elongated before an overwhelmed release where an incredible concentration and last reserve of energy is required to bear it. The work harks back to Schubert and his Winterreise, but now as if it had started after its end, comparable to its aftermath in an extended slow death (until the frantic and ferocious finale), almost every phrase approaching the metaphysical from a profound inwardness and encroaching, unbearable and brooding darkness (the vocalizations as if he is rising out of his body or reaching ever inward for a reason to go on).

Ironically, I'm starting to like Lorca more now. It's also a bit more memorable. But both have turned into some of my favorite albums as well Wink

And (as I'm writing) I'm listening to the highest ranked album here (AW), omg it's amayyyyziing

Nice!

I consider it a very good quality (of any serious music listener trying to delve deeper into these masterpieces) that you seem persistent and keep returning to albums such as Lorca (and probably many others) to really see if you can find out what's extraordinary about them. It seems only a certain percentage are willing to (truly) take that "leap of faith" (which at first it seems like...) but over the years it seems pretty much 1 for 1 that does this (and sticks with it) sooner or later ends up being blown away more and more as their experience and assimilation of these works increases (myself included!).

Thanx a lot.

I always have the impression that on first listen, I don't have to click with it. But there has to be some sort of mysterious charm or memorable to it that makes me want to come back to it. And that was written all over all of the Tim albums I've heard. When I first heard Lorca, I was transformed to another dimension. With Starsailor, I simply thought it was an all-round classic that was a great blend of top-tier ballads and tracks bloaded with artistic freedom Whistle

. Happy Sad is my most played one - and is the album pick for my chart.
When I escape this Matrix of a planet, I'm taking all three albums with me Cool
