"I got a backyard with nothing in it
Except a stick, a dog, and a box with something in it"
My car has had something in it since 2015 and it is this CD in it's CD player. This is mostly because I no longer posses many CDs. But it is an awesome album that I will listen through while driving every so often.
There's No Home For You Here and The Air Near My Fingers have always been favorites of mine.

Lots of classics on this album. I used to love this album. My appreciation has waned some as I learned more about Eric Clapton stealing George Harrison's wife - not cool. Still, Layla is a wonderful song. But Eric Clapton just kind of sucks as a person.

Bob Dylan
This was fine. I can get into his earlier stuff more though. Saw Dylan live twice, and they are both on the short list of worst performances I've ever witnessed. But I guess that is what you get when you see someone 50 out of their prime.

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
Elton John
Side A of this album is so strong. Had never listened to it in full before. Most of the hits are front loaded with the exception of Saturday Night's Alright. The middle of the album is blah and Jamaica Jerk-Off is almost unlistenable. But giving it a 4 for how strong it starts off with those hits. And a great album cover.
