I've got alot of time for his latter day experimental albums ('Climate of the Hunter' must rank as one of the most shockingly innovative comebacks of all time).
However his 60's albums, 'Scott' through to 'Scott 4' are all definitive chamber pop, but it really kicks off on 'Scott 3'; his monastery sabbatical obviously did wonders for his songwriting. His Jacques Brel versions are also sublime.

Maybe not for everybody but if you liked Alex Turner's side-project the Last Shadow Puppets you really need to get stuck in to Mr.Walker.
