It's got to be Then Play On. There are some utterly sublime, heartbreaking moments on that album. Even the Madges have grown on me over the years. But if I could build a time machine, the first thing that I would do after getting next week's lottery numbers would be to go back to 1969 and try and have a quiet word with Danny about When You Say.
After that, it's Mystery to Me, then the spacey ambiance of most of Future Games does it for me, Fleetwood Mac, Bare Trees, Penguin, Kiln House, Heroes, and then Mr Wonderful , which I hate to rank last because Peter's stuff is great.
I really have never understood the bad press that Penguin gets. Excise Roadrunner and it's fine.
