It's hard for me to pick between 'Bluejeans' and 'Unconditionally Guaranteed'. They're conspicuously and easily his worst albums (I'd say probably his only poor ones), but I think 'Guaranteed' is just marginally worse. I think there's one song on 'Bluejeans' that I sorta like (and I like the cover)

Best is a lot harder. 'Trout Mask' is the obvious candidate, but 'Lick My Decals Off, Baby' and 'Doc at the Radar Station' are damn close.

Suits is my favorite LOL

He's never released a bad album, I'd say his covers albums is my least favorite (Songs from the Mirror)

Both albums are not totally bad for me, for example I like "Party Of Special Things To Do" and his version of Caleīs " Same Old Blues". "Captainīs Holiday" is his worst song. But I think "Unconditionally" as a whole has more the mean Magic Band touch that "Bluejeans" (in Bluejeans there are no old Magic Band members).

Yes, those three are his greatest, really love also "Ice Cream For Crow" & "Strictly Personal".

Yes, Robert Wyatt is quite literally at the rock bottom of my list, but at least a two star rating is not quite rock bottom, if you follow my meaning. Anyway, it's my favourite Robert Wyatt album, if "favourite" is the right word - probably the least disliked would be more accurate. Wink
