| 2 | * ''Paris 1919'' is a TropeCodifier for BaroquePop and contains some of the most gorgeous melodies devised by anyone. |
| 3 | * The Creator/IslandRecords albums, ''Fear'', ''Slow Dazzle'' and ''Helen of Troy''. Dear god. Anyone who says that Cale was jumping on the punk bandwagon in 1978 clearly hasn't listened to these. |
| 4 | * ''Songs for Drella'', which was a far more brilliant Music/VelvetUnderground reunion than their actual reunion. Included here by virtue of Cale's claim that although Music/LouReed wrote most of the words, he himself wrote most of the music. An affectionate but painfully honest oratorio about their former mentor Creator/AndyWarhol. |
| 5 | * The live album ''Fragments of a Rainy Season'', in which Cale boiled songs from all over his career down to simple solo arrangements for voice and either piano and guitar, in some cases (e.g. "Thoughtless Kind") revealing for the first time how beautiful they actually are. This also includes his celebrated CoverVersion of Music/LeonardCohen's "Hallelujah". |
