I was all set to disregard this as just another album that I just didn't understand why it was on the list. It was old and folky and lame. I dug into the Wiki article and liked that this album upset David Geffen so I kept reading while it played in the background. I discovered that this album had gotten new attention due to some artists playing it in its entirety (some artists that I appreciated like Beach House, Fleet Foxes and Grizzly Bear) to promote the genius of this album. So I kept listening... It's evident that most of the world has differing opinions than I do. Even after listening to this and then embarking on one of the concerts, I still found very little to get excited about in this album. In my opinion the cover art outshines the music on this one....
