Rolling Stone's 359th greatest album of all time
Great typical 70s rock album, quite a folk/country flavour as well as John's trademark rock and roll style. The only well known song here is the epic Rocket Man, but the rest fits well with the style of that and the album is a really good listen.

Rolling Stone's 449th greatest album of all time
A mediocre bunch of folk-rock songs. I can't see why on earth this would come above Jackson Browne's album, there seems to be passion missing and none of the songs are particularly memorable.

Rolling Stone's 108th greatest album of all time
Not the most hit-laden album by Bowie but this was probably him at his best. Still with the pomp and personality, but with so many interesting songs with different styles, folk and rock represented equally.
