I think every band has their version of
Presence- that one anomally recording that, for whatever reason, just never found an audience. Van Halen had
Women and Children First. Fleetwood Mac had
Time. Queen had
Hot Space. I personally love
Presence, but I have to admit that I would be hard pressed to name more than two songs from it off the top of my head! And how can you hate on
In Through the Out Door?? That is probably my favorite LZ album- probably up there with
Physical Graffiti.

Well, I would gladly skip "Glamor Profession"
. But other than that, I would agree that SD in the 70's was incredible- I think they peaked with
The Royal Scam. But the 2000-era stuff isn't too bad either, especially
Everything Must Go. And Donald Fagen's solo album
Morph the Cat is really, really good!
