What album do you play over the holidays?

For me it will always be Beatles White Album because my friend got it, along with a Hot Wheels race track set up for Christmas 1968 when we were in 6th grade and then in the first week of January 1969, Boston got hit by a major snow storm that gave us another week off of snow days so we listened and listened to that album over and over.

Okay, your turn...

Another great reminder, Jackson Browne. He is by far my favorite of the L.A. Laurel Canyon crowd, a really, really good songwriter, and fine singer. He has also always had a great band. I sure wish he hadn't let his political/social causes take over his lyrical content, but that's artists for ya! Too literal and "sincere", ya know? I felt the same way about Lennon in the 70's. At least Jackson didn't put his wife in his band, and call her Mommy ;-).

Eccentric, crazy?, etc.... There must be some basic aspects of song writers/musicians/performers that drive them and differentiate them from a normal human being.

I think it IS these differences that make their songs speak to us "earthlings"?

I was listening to "Double Fantasy" recently and thought that even though Yoko's voice can be irritating, she did have a basic vocal instinct of musical timing. Whoever...John?, put those songs to music... I found it pretty enjoyable. It was like early Blondie.?
