From what I've seen, his solo catalogue is quite hefty and I must admit I have not heard most of it. What I have heard is enjoyable though. Any suggestions for me? I'm always wasting my money on crap like this, too.
I like "Cover" a lot.

Buy Television's Marquee Moon (1977; re-issued 2003) because, quite simply, it's my favourite 70's rock album and it should be yours too. I'm no good at writing reviews or trying to express how some music makes me feel so I'll just cut-and-paste some reviews for you to consider. The album, to me, is great from start to finish with no weaknesses to be ...[text shortened]... e.shtml

A lot of it is quiet, with soft almost spoken, lyrics that tell stories that are weird in an undefinable way. Then there are the sudden interludes of raw, violent guitars and screamed v ...[text shortened]... the calm is the calm before a harrowing storm.
This album is an indie legend - you must own it!
ok, maybe that was a bit too alternative...

how about something a little less outre:

'Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain', by Pavement
'Psychocandy', or 'Honey's Dead', by The Jesus and Mary Chain

Rush - 2112

This is a classic album, and the furst to be recorded in surround sound. Failing that, ELO have some music to play chess to.
Farewell to Kings was a good one also.

"Look what I did" by Joe Walsh.

If you're a guitarist, its a crime not to have it.

Speaking of which, did anyone see the Slint reunion gig at All Tomorrows Parties a couple of months ago? Was out of the country unfortunately.

As for records, I propose PIL's Metal Box - Not heard anything like it before or since.

"You'll never listen to such a deep dub sound in Rock music. Jah Wobble's tremendous bass, Jim Walker and Richard Dudanski's minimalistic groove and Keith Levene's metallic splatters set an outrageous mineral landscape for former Rotten John Lydon's litanies. Today its influence still spreads like a virus. Uncompromising to death - disco."
