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.
