What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report

On the off-chance you are interested...  ;-)
Been a while since I listened to any Big Head Todd but had followed them closely over a number of years for a half dozen releases or so.  Sister Sweetly is definitely a strong album.  Another with good sonics but less consistent song-writing (or so I think):  Midnight Radio.  I always liked Stratagem too.  Might just have to pull them out for a listen.  It's been a while and I'm burned out on the stuff I've been living with most recently.

Dada's Puzzle is excellent, song-wise and sonics.  I remember when Dorina was getting a lot of FM airplay on WXPN in Phila.  Wish their subsequent output was as good.  Highway Flower has moments but not up to the same standard as Puzzle.

Great listening picks.     

@ghosthouse - Thanks for the recommendations. I've heard a few other random tracks from Big Head Todd and the Monsters that I enjoyed. Actually, this morning, after reading your post, I streamed "Secret Mission" from their album - "Riviera". It's a good sounding track, but I don't love the album. It just doesn't live up to my expectations of the band, based on "Sister Sweetly". I'll check out your recommendations on Spotify. 

I love Dada! I saw them on their 25th Anniversary "Puzzle" Tour last year. What a show! I see that a side band - 7Horse formed by Joie and Phil from Dada are on tour. Looks like we are going to cross paths on Nov. 12th in Milwaukee. I'll be in Milwaukee on business, and I'm going! Can't miss these guys.....

Hello again, @reubent 

Just looked up BHT's discography on their website.  Last thing I bought by them was "Beautfiful World".  Can't believe that was over 20 years ago.  Really haven't kept up.  Even less than I thought.   An old workmate who used to live in Boulder said all their stuff was the same not very exciting mid-tempo rock.  He wasn't a fan.  I did fall out of love with them myself (singer's voice and style can get kind of annoying) although Stratagem was one of those records that took a while to click but ended up getting a lot of listening time.  All in all, however, Sister Sweetly might be tough to top in their output...at least of what I've heard. Hope you are not disappointed as you check out the other titles.   

I had always thought Michael Gurley was "the talent" in Dada.  Don't know 7Horse.  Guess I can see what Tidal has from them.  Hope the show is good.  

Your mention of Puzzle reminded me it was an album I'd been meaning to recommend to Nutty.  Good timing on your part.  Hope he's reading here.  

Later.  Ciao.

Big Head Todd -
Stratagem

Track 3, Wearing Only Flowers, is a good song in a somewhat uneven album.
