You haven’t lived until you’ve heard the a cappella cover version.
I looked over my CD collection and I only have one Traffic CD - The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys. The only other act with just one is Toad the Wet Sprocket with Dulcinae but I’m not as familiar with their other work like I am with Traffic so that may not count.
Never listened to John Barleycorn Must Die, I take it? Every bit as good as Low Spark, IMO.
Oh, I heard plenty of Traffic in my youth but only cared enough to buy the TLSoHHB album and later CD. Hence the title of this thread. 
Not a huge fan of They Might Be Giants, but I do like “Flood”.
Flaming Lips are performing the whole Yoshimi album on their tour now.
I’m thinking of seeing them in Pittsburgh next week.
They were so good last time i saw them a few years ago.I teared up a little.
You know what’s crazy? I accidentally saw them in 2002, when I went to a Beck show and those “She Don’t Use Jelly” dudes from Oklahoma were there and blew my mind with Yoshimi! I think they played the whole album, if not most of it. I never really listened to Beck again after Sea Change, but I had the Lips on constant replay!
Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. I’ve tried to like Wilco’s other albums. Really, I have. I just don’t. But I consider YHF an absolute classic.
Violent Femmes - I consider their eponymous album to be another classic. Soundtrack to my time in college. But nothing else they’ve recorded has really done anything for me.
Spirit - The Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus. Absolutely perfect album. Holds up well to this day. But their other stuff, meh.
At the time I loved that album, and saw them live shortly after its release and it was a great concert. Cheap Trick, who never really did it for me, was the backup band.
IMHO Boston’s subsequent albums were rather bland and pointless (again, to me).
For me, I loved the second album by Texas (the first one wasn’t bad either) but, again IMHO, their subsequent albums were just non-standard dance/pop things, which just don’t do it for me.
For me, I would add Boy and (to a lesser extent) October, but agree that everything else is really wretched
The Decemberists The King is Dead album is really really good! The rest of their albums are too pretentious and convoluted for my tastes
Cyndi Lauper Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
Good album. I bought a couple others that I didn’t like.
I think you would like A Saucerful of Secrets.
I was a die-hard Pink Floyd fan of their studio albums in the 1980s, listening mostly to stuff like The Wall, Dark Side of the Moon, and Meddle, and I started expanding my CD collection.
One day at a record store I found The Piper at the Gates of Dawn and A Saucerful of Secrets and was in for a surprise: they were completely different from the later works. If I had to classify “Saucerful” it would be more closely aligned with “Piper” than the latter works.
For me, “Anna” is John’s greatest vocal performance. With a cold/flu no less.
A lot of the work of the Decemberists is hit-and-miss for me, but my favorite album of theirs is The Crane Wife. I find it to be just pretentious and convoluted enough.
