This involves missing out on L.A. Woman, which over time I've come to consider to be their best.

Well shit, I had that mentally filed amongst said 2-3. Definitely get the first 4 albums then. Good call ^

Some stuff he does is really good. A concert that he did in San Fransisco is worth checking out if you're kinda into Blues/Jazz/Funk stuff.
I mean, this is the guy who brought us songs like "Have I Told You Lately" but in the presence of songs like covering "Good Morning Little Schoolgirl" it can probably be forgiven. That said, I think that I prefer him when he's doing the more up-tempo bluesy Jazz/rock to the pure blues stuff he sometimes does. I wouldn't recommend most other albums to people who aren't fond of slow, very introspective music since eventually most albums particularly ones from a period during the 80s and 90s delve into songs with a very formulaic easy listening style, starting out with a cymbal splash, moving into a simple piano riff of sorts, and then eventually going into him devolving into muttering almost incoherently while he tries to play the same notes he sings on the guitar. Not very interesting overall. That said, there are some good things hidden away even on these albums, though not everyones' cup of tea and a lot does feel like overly santized jazz stuff. The concert doesn't have that feel, thank goodness.
Also, I have two albums by U2, an 18 Singles CD and Rattle and Hum. A fair amount of what can be said about Van Morrison applies to U2, and this attempt at having a more "Black-Americana" sound is fine by me, just like with the Van Morrison CD. I wouldn't recommend it to people that can't stand hearing even a short snippet of a random U2 song though anyone else might get some enjoyment out of it partly because it's not your average U2.

You'd still be missing L.A. Woman. It was the sixth one. Probably my favourite Doors album as well.

I hate Bob Dylan.
