An album that no one has to like, but just appreciate the work done by this man
who also wrote the opening theme to THE EXCORSIST, before the movie was made.
This album is probabley for someone who is openminnded, or a musician's musician.
My all time favorite album. To be able to incorporate such different genres such as funk, pop, jazz, rock, country, rap in their music and not sound even a tiny bit forced is amazing.

Kind of hard to pick one Eels album, and I'll probably post another at some point in this thread. An album about dying, death and loss, it is desperately sad, but he plays it all through subtle, pseudo-cheery music. An understated masterpiece.
A jam-band splashed with the salt of the sea. They're like Dave Matthews Band without all the show-off trumpets and (recent) dullness. I like them best when they go all acoustic on my ass. 'Peaches And Cream' is my favorite tune at the moment. It's sweet, soulful and ultimately optimistic.

111. Dave Brubeck Quartet- The Great Concerts (Take Five)
After seeing him in concert still kicking it in his eighties, I've become a fan. This concert was recorded back in the Quartet's prime in the late 50's. It's simply a great jazz album with some very irregular time signatures.
