"Love for Tender" starts what may be the most perfect sequence of songs in all of rock and roll history.  The whole album is great, but what (I'm assuming) must have been the first side of the original album, those first 10 songs, are as close to perfection as anything I have ever heard.  It floors me everytime.  The other "side" is fantastic too, but just the way this album kicks off and keeps coming at you...man, it kicks.  This album is also the one that convinced me that Steve Nieve is one of the great keyboard players of pop music as well, since he is the drive behind all that great music, imho.  (Not intended as a slam IN ANYWAY on EC, either.)
