Camelâs Harbour of Tears. Their forte is concept albums, and this is fabulous. Subject matter, the Irish immigration to the USA. Thereâs an obligatory and minor Celtic nod to start with, followed by wonderful, polished prog. Awesoooome!

from the vinyl shed
his seventh album
includes one of his best songs ever for me
but the rest of the album, because of covers, falls flat
some good songs covered but only Husbands And Wives passes
and I don't like Crunchy Granola at all
only 3 Diamond originals
reached #11 here which was his highest charting at the time
this made it all worth it

Beth Orton - Pass In Time - double CD that I just realised I had bought but never played. The lady has a very eclectic approach to composition. Always fresh and interesting. Enjoying this album this morning.

Anybody like Linda Ronstadt? I love to hear her sing!
I think she is right up there with Karen Carpenter.

To be quite honest I am not sure but the one I have just finished listening to is a good starting point. A concept album with songs/vocalists, orchestration, choir and rock band all thrown together. A musical adaption of the Jules Verne novel. Brilliant arranging and composition but I am still not sure whether you would like it or not. It's considered a classic.
Oh and to answer your first question - yes you did - currently going through all my RW albums - have about eight - I think.
