Indeed! First track I ever heard was Kiss Me Black and it nearly brought the house down. Good days!

Mark Knopfler - Shangri-La
Streaming on NAS… kicking off this Monday morning with Mark’s Shangri-La, nothing like the ‘5:15 A. M.’ track to get the toes tapping and body swaying right out of the gate… The album easily brings on a smile, one sweet album!

Yep, you really should, Nigel!
1973 - UK first pressing…
Not their finest but worth a listen every now and then if only for Rat Bat Blues.

OK time for me to fess up. I googled Amos and watched him with Daryl Hall at Daryls house and was left wondering what all the fuss was about…seemed pretty ordinary? Is there a go to album you would recommend, just in case that was a so so performance?
Time to fire up the Nak, with a BBC comedy tape from 1992. On the Hour no longer seems as funny or as radical as it did back in 1991 when it aired on Radio 4, but it one thing it is, is desperately prescient.
To be fair, he was only a guest artist, mainly support vocals, at Daryl’s house.
Personally I rate all his albums but you could start with the eponymous album, Last Days At The Lodge or Mission Bell. If you like those, go on to either Spirit or Supply And Demand. My least favourite album of his is Mountains Of Sorrow, Rivers Of Song - just a bit too Country for me. Amos, for me, is at his best in Soulful mood.
It is perfectly possible however that this is an artist who simply fails to float your boat!

You’re not alone, I don’t get him either and I have tried as he appears on this thread quiet often. I do love how music can be so divisive, along with many other topics on this site.
One of her best albums IMO Alan
