With its chamber-pop arrangements, Tea for the Tillerman is one of the British folkie's most ambitious albums (to take one example of Cat Stevens' thinking at the time, the LP's gentle, advice-dispensing "Father and Son" began as a song for a musical he wanted to write about the Russian Revolution). It soothed countless living rooms in the Seventies, but the album is deceptively angst-y. Both the hit single "Wild World" and the bleak ballad "Hard-Headed Woman" find him condemning his ex Patti D'Arbanville - who later shacked up with Mick Jagger.
Cat Stevens appears on the list 1 time.
