Whilst I love JC's output between 1974 and 1981 with a passion, I for one have little interest in the mostly bland and uninteresting stuff he has put out and collaborated on since Honi Soit. He has developed a great reputation with the pseuds and art-farts, but the reality is that he has done nothing in the last 40 years to rival his best work from Fear through to Honi Soit.

And in terms of his studio laziness, look no further than the highly creative years of 1976 to 1981. Five songs recorded in the studio released in five years, and one of those without a band. But he was busy, busy, busy. There must be upwards of 30 unreleased songs from this era, and most of them are better than the stuff he did later record. Why on earth didn't he get into the studio to commit songs like 'Even Cowgirls Get The Blues' to tape?

Crazy!

wasted a lot of time. As of 2021 if one ignores the compilations, live albums, collaborations and rehashed MFANS Cale has released 4 new studio albums in 30+ years. Walking on Locust/Hobosapiens/ Black Acetate and Shifty Adventures...

One of the most rewarding discographies to get lost in. Fear(the title track is his absolute masterpiece in my opinion, and the rest of the album travels from gorgeous to insane and back again), Music For a New Society(beautiful and devastating, some brilliant lyrics and improvisation along with fragile and gorgeous arrangements), and Fragments of a Rainy Season(a brilliant compilation tracklist in itself that just happens to be brilliant solo performances of some of his best songs/covers) are my absolute essentials. There's also the lush, nostalgic, 70s pop of Paris 1919 and Vintage Violence or the trashy glam pastiches of Slow Dazzle and Helen of Troy. His semi-punk period of Sabotage and the Animal Justice EP is also essential with ragers like Mercenaries and the proto-Birthday Party raver Chicken Shit. The more overlooked (in an already all too overlooked discography) 80s albums like Honi Soit and Artificial Intelligence have their great moments as well (ie Wilson Joilet, Dead or Alive, Dying on the Vine, or Black Rose). He has his misses as well but they are absolutely outweighed by a career filled with fantastic composition, songwriting, and forward momentum. Not to mention his great work in the 21st century that has continued in 2016 with the M:FANS album and performances at the Bowie Proms and the Velvets anniversary concert in Paris. In a year where we've lost too many legends it's worth remembering those we still have and hopefully will have for years to come. John Cale's a musician's musician and honestly a perfect subject for the devoted music fan.

Highly underrated artist! No comments yet? FEAR is one of the greatest albums ever recorded. Better than any Lou Reed if you ask me. Also recorded other classics for the ISLAND label.
