Stealers Wheel - Stealers Wheel (1972)

Boy, did I wear out the grooves on this one! Every song's a pop gem in the Beatles tradition (in a way, you could say that the group's main men, Gerry Rafferty and Joe Egan, were the Lennon and McCartney of their time), and just like you never tire of listening to the Beatles, you can never grow weary of hearing this fabulous debut album.

The group's biggest hit, 'Stuck in the Middle With You', is here, though the real high point for me is the aching ballad 'You Put Something Better Inside of Me'.
