I'm just refraining from saying too much myself in order to save it for when it does show up and that is a long way off yet
Maybe you can PM me about the album when you really get into it, and I'm sure you will find it's an absolutely fantastic piece of work

And, not too many people know this, but Mark Knopfler wrote 'Private dancer' for Tina Turner (!)
Can't imagine him in stocking and suspenders tbh...in fact I don't really want to

Just looking his compositions up now and apart from that Tina Turner track and a Jeff Healey song, he's only written songs for his own bands.

I haven't heard that album at all.

A quick few I actually prepared earlier, just a quick copy and paste job. These will take us three quarters of the way through our list.No.257: “Than Man Who Sold The World” by David Bowie (1970)
One of the most overlooked early David Bowie albums which is a shame because it has become a fans' favourite over the years. Many people judged Space Oddity as a novelty hit, a one-hit wonder and so largely ignored the couple of great records which were released afterwards. He got back on track with Hunky Dory, more of that one later.

No.256: “Abacab” by Genesis (1981)The early eighties were a very good time for Genesis, in fact I don't think they really did ever have a lean period. All their records sold well, Peter Gabriel-fronted or those with Phil Collins at the helm. They all had their moments of class and grandeur about them.
Abacab (a guitar chord sequence), came hot on the heels of the brilliant Duke album and it's great single 'Turn It On Again' - more of that album much, much later on - and wasn't as good but it deserves its place here as one of my favourites anyway.

No.255: “Into The Great Wide Open” by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers (1991)What a great musician and all-round decent laid back bloke Tom Petty was. When he passed away suddenly in 2017 the music world lost a true legend who lived for his rock and roll music; the archetypal rock star from Florida who made so many superb records over forty years. This is one of his best.

No.254: “The Boatman’s Call” by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds (1997)The Boatman's Call was by Cave's standards a very quiet album. Full of morbidly affecting "love" songs and creepy accompaniment. The Nick Cave classic ballad 'Into My Arms' is featured here along with a track called 'Black Hair', which is almost unbearably scary.
