Brian Eno

I was reflecting on how foolish it is to downsize a brilliant career by averaging it out with recent performances. Eno was a member of the legendary Roxy Music, made some of the best records of the '70s (there are at least 4 masterpieces among his solo works), inspired the development of a myriad of musical genres, produced some of the most important (and beautiful) records of the new wave, and even got involved in fourth world music with Byrne and Hassell.
