Yeah, this was an easy one for me. But I'm a former music critic and I'm kind of obsessive about music history and classic albums.
* "Circle Game" is on "Ladies of the Canyon"--a few albums earlier. "Court and Spark" is when Joni started to explore jazz; "Help Me" and "Free Man in Paris" were the pop hits.
* "Village Green Preservation Society" is one of those albums unappreciated in its time (1967); it's almost pastoral, in contrast to the Kinks' usual rep as hard rockers. (It appeals to insufferable music snobs like me to "discover" lost albums that no one else appreciates.. )
* I remember seeing The Kids are Alright at a midnight showing in my local movie theater about...oh, forty years ago! The print sucked. The music was incredible.
