thanks guys. i was never a huge h&o fan, mainly because of o's mustache, but the hall projects "sacred songs" and "exposure" (both with fripp) were pretty great--weirder and more exploratory than you would think.
i'll toss out two more undeservedly bottom of the catalog disk, then get back to drinking myself insensible:
elliott easton, change no change--this was the solo turn by the cars' lefthanded guitarist. it seemed to have been virtually unheard (+ not avialable on spotify), and it got an oddly negative review on allmusic, who hate his singing, but i think it's a great record--the songs were cowritten with the great jules shear and are hooky as hell
townsend/lane, rough mix--no disrespect to the who, but their bombast and operatic seriousness can get fatiguing if you're in the wrong mood + i always preferred townsend's vocals to daltrey's. this one is a much looser, folksier affair than the who or the faces, and sounds fresh 40 years after its release. for some odd reason, "keep me turning" always brings me to tears.
