My preference would be Breakfast in America because I think it's the best of those albums. However, I suspect there may be resistance to that. If there is, then my second preference would be Imperial Bedroom. As I think that's the second-best of those albums.

Silk Degrees (1976) or Down Two Then Left (1977) then?

His biggest hit "Lido Shuffle" is on the former, but I think the latter is a better album (albeit a slightly more disco-ey one).

I shall check to see which Wikipedia says ~~sold more~~ is better.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon Apr 20, 2020 8:12 pm

Wikipedia says Silk Degrees went 5 x Platinum. That is the sort of critical appraisal that impresses me.

Also, the saxophonist is called Jim Horn.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon Apr 20, 2020 8:14 pm

A man called Doug Sax played on it but didn't play the sax. Colbert

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon Apr 20, 2020 8:15 pm

Jim Horn is also credited with playing horns.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon Apr 20, 2020 8:15 pm

There's a man on it who's called Dick Hyde.

The other album doesn't seem to have anyone with a funny name playing on it.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon Apr 20, 2020 8:17 pm

It did have Ray Parker Jr on it, though. gasp
