"The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down".

Different strokes... We all feel passionate about different types of music, and that’s part of the beauty of it all.

Oops, "Lipstick Sunset".

@roxy54: Absolutely, you’ll get no argument from me on that point. When I said The Band spoiled me for just about everyone else, the "me" was intentional. I don’t think one should assume that statement implies I think everyone should feel the same. Is it alright if I state that opinion? Is it alright if one listener says he prefers a Wilson speaker over a Vandersteen, or visa versa? Everything a person says is a personal opinion.

What’s interesting is that of the musicians I’ve known or just met, the "better" he or she is (again, a subjective determination), the more he or she loves The Band. Coincidence? No, it’s mutual tastes in music. Lots of people like the music of Mozart, yet Glenn Gould famously did not. J.S. Bach spoiled him for just about all other composers.😉 For I as well.

The old phrase "The best is the enemy of the good" comes to mind.

The Brown Album is a top 10 favorite of mine and "Lipstick Sunset" one of my favorite tracks off "Bring the Family". It's too bad that same group didn't click when they went into the studio to record "Slow Turning". Can you imagine how Cooder and company might've handled the likes of "Icy Blue Heart", "Paper Thin" or "Feels Like Rain" ?  

We diverge a bit when it come to TNTDODD. I've simply heard that song over the airwaves too many times to enjoy it, now. In fact, Classic Rock radio has ruined quite a few songs for me, but I digress. TNTDODD seems to be the one song that people who know nothing about the Band recognize --  the equivalent to R. Thompson's "1952 Vincent Black Lightning".

At this point, I could happily live without ever hearing either song again but this is a minor quibble.
