I like them all. But Common One, Keep Me Singing, St Dominic's Preview are all 10s.
over a year ago No_KKK said…
I think only Astral Weeks and Moondance rate a 10 unless you count compilations like Best of Volume 1 and Still on Top. Those two compilations have some of the finest music around. Keep Me Singing is in that next bracket of albums that includes St Dominic's, Veedon Fleece, Too late to stop Now, etc. They're all nines.
