And?
You just have to look at how many of his songs have been covered in recent years, BB, to see you are not the only one who appreciates his music.
Post 9/11, he was one of the artists US radio stations wouldn't play. Subversive Islamic songs like Peace Train are just too scary.
I recently bought Tea For The Tillerman, and 35 years on from its recording it still sounds fresh.

Tea For The Tillerman is one of my favourite LPs and to me, is one of the best albums ever.

Sorry to put a spanner in the works, but I think he's shite, always did, came across as a pretentious dickhead.
Only decent song he ever wrote was "First cut is the deepest", sung by the Black American soul singer, P.P. Arnold.
