Re: Rank the Tracks: Paul Simon's Graceland (1986)
One of the acclaimed albums I always wished I could get into more. It always just felt to me like the commercialization of music I like much better without the pop element added to the mix. No "personal" favorites, but I do really like the first two, and the next four are pretty good, as well.

A very good, even daring album, but it has always seemed odd juxtaposing buoyant music with cerebral unease in the lyrics.

One of the most beautiful and brilliant, shining albums I know. Also, it belongs to a very small group of completely flawless albums.

Re: Rank the Tracks: Paul Simon's Graceland (1986)
Ethics aside, it would be a shame if Linda Ronstadt hadn't ended up on the album as her and Simon's voices work beautifully on Under African Skies. If I'd heard the full album in time for the 1986 poll, that and maybe the amusing I Know What I know would make my ballot.
