Yes, but enquiring minds want to know what you've heard that you've already decided you can no longer live without.

While it is a fantastic album, I think "...Only the Lonely" is better.

For the other side of the coin, Sinatra's "Songs for Swingin' Lovers" is a favorite.

"Where Are You?" is not as moody as "Only The Lonely" Or "Wee Small Hours."

I looked through all posts and nobody mentioned Loreena McKennitt.
Even though I mostly listen to prog and classic rock, these two albums - MUST!
It’s a fusion of Rock, Classic and Folk
I consider her as my best discovery so far and her vocal just second to none!
You can find it at any public library.

Go take it and tell me that I am WRONG.
