Don't sleep on Mickey Hart's Rolling Thunder, also released in '72. I just discovered that one this year and it is also pretty excellent. John Cipollina plays guitar on it. May as well rep for Europe 72. as well, a record that sounds better to me now than ever before.

Reassessed and moved from ambivalence to full-fledged love:
Scott Walker (via the "Five Easy Pieces" box)Kevin Ayers (via the "Songs For Insane Times" box)Pere Ubu (via the first two discs of the "Datapanik In The Year Zero" box)Brian Eno's ambient work (via the "Instrumental" box)Nuggets I and II boxes (and 60s UK psych as well)
It's been an awesome box set year!
Incidentally, I'm always amazed how one's tastes can change over time. It makes me think that eventually I'll dig everything.
