I blame Wynton, what was the question?

I don't know Cohen at all, but I've always liked Neil Young. "Everybody Knows this is Nowhere" is a great, great record.

I love reading lists like this, just to be introduced to albums I don't know and seeing people's opinions. Thanks Ian !

Anekdoten
Well it was The Beatles that turned me into a music fanatic and musician in the first place, so I'll always have room in my heart for well written pop. And within that realm, much of my favorite stuff just happens to be British.
Also, I'll say this: Though I know now that there was some good prog being made in the '80s, I wasn't aware of most of it at the time. In comparison to what else was out there (that I knew of), Nik Kershaw's stuff was fairly progressive. I like pop that has some harmonic intrigue going on and his off-the-beaten-path chord progressions and modulations scratched that itch for me.

For that which is not,

yea of both of these the lookers into truth have seen an end.
