Hmm, _Abacab_ gets a pretty bad rap around, but personally I like it.

Don't really agree with you about _Duke_, though...

It's hard to get into, and quite different from any of their other
albums.  Other people will recommend _Foxtrot_, of their early albums,
but I wouldn't.  Not that it's bad, but I think it's harder to "get"
(hmm, didn't I just say that about "Lamb"?).  Anyway, try either
_Nursery Cryme_ or _Selling England By The Pound_.
