Also as has been pointed out it is rather daunting to think of all the followups saying "You like that piece of trash..." Be that as it may ( and admitting that I might say something different another time) , right now I would probably pick "Flying Sorcery" from Al Stewart's _Year_of_the_Cat_ album . I think it is a brilliant evocation of time and place with just the right touch of poignence (sp?) and sense of loss. The album ,by the way, is always on my top 10 no matter what my mood.
