Always thought "Warehoues" was an overlooked gem. Btw, do you find yourself humming along with "Land speed record", or is it just me?;)

Do they all have to be no names like Micheal Been (who the *** is that)? Agree with Mark Knofler, Joe Jackson. By 1980 Van Morrison's voice was shot. His best stuff was in the 70's, not the 80's. I also should have added Phil Collins. Or Al Stewart. Just because someone sell records, does not make them a poor song writer.
