No Missy Elliot? No Public Enemy? No Outkast? No Roots?
All you audiophiles are just bass shy playing that album oriented rock.

I truly love this:

What Am I Doing Hanging Round

Maybe I'm starting to come around to thinking even that which is shunned at the time by many music lovers and critics really isn't so bad?

That's really good. I also liked his "Some of Shelley's Blues" which Linda Rondstadt covered. And "Her Name was Joann." The guy could write a tune, that's for certain.
