I never heard all his solo 1970s album, just tracks here and there that I really liked. Waht's a good starting point from them if you were compiling them?

Can't Let Go is the best track that he and/or Roxy Music have ever recorded in my opinion. This Island Earth from the same record (The Bride Stripped Bare) is also amazing.Taht would be my starting point.

I generally enjoy listening to almost anything of his from that era, but these are my favorites in order:

"You Go To My Head"
"These Foolish Things"
"The Price of Love"
"Let's Stick Together"
"A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall"
"Smoke Gets In Your Eyes"
"2HB" ('Let's Stick Together' version)
"Tokyo Joe"

"Sign of the Times" is a smokin' single. His biting down on Waddy Watchel's guitars shows a vocal aggression he would never flaunt again.

Also:

Another Time, Another Place
River of Salt
A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall
It's My Party
The Price of Love
This Is Tomorrow
Same Old Story
Can't Let Go
The "In" Crowd
