I don't like the early blues Mac or the late "pop" Mac. I like the middle phase a lot, circa Bare Trees and the like. I can even take that first pop album, the s/t one.

I bought s/t like the week it came out because of a great review in Rolling Stone, I think. I played it over and over for five days straight, and my copy still has the insert where I wrote in a moment of enthusiasm "Damned good!" Then the radio started playing it ad nauseum and that was the kiss of death.
