I have a few artists like that -- Paul Simon (Graceland), John Cale (Fragments of a Rainy Season), a few others.
Not even The Rhythm of the Saints, the South American counterpart to Graceland?
Nope! I do know Simon and Garfunkel pretty well though, as well as a number of Simon's '70's singles ("Kodachrome," "Fifty Ways to Leave Your Lover," etc.). Graceland is the only album I know in full. I always meant to check out more, because I love Graceland, but you know...one of those things.

I'm quite secure in my Simon fandom and also my assessment of your colossal fucking idiocy. Now get out.

I love Pink Moon. Beautiful album. I like how concise it is. Every song sticks just long enough to make an impact.

Back in high school I wrote a feature for the school newspaper titled 5 Albums You Should Be Ashamed You Don't Own. Pink Moon was one of them. The others were Jeff Buckley's Grace, The Cure's Disintegration, Sigur Ros's Agaetis Byrjun, and Smashing Pumpkins Siamese Dream.

Nor should you. I was a kid and I no longer stand by my early clickbait headline.
I still like all those albums though to varying degrees

Though there is a connection. John Cale played on two tracks from Nick’s second album. Cale on viola and harpsichord here:

I was prepared to hate this list based on the title alone, but... that's a great fucking list.
