Eno

T'was a long time ago, but when I saw him on the Big Star reunion tour at Metro, it was one of the very best shows that I've ever seen. I guess it's not so much that he's awful, just insanely inconsistent. Mercurial bastard. God love him.

The critics (and hipsters) cream all over themselves over these albums. How are these underrated?
