The seventh album by Harry Nilsson, Nilsson Schmilsson was probably the most notable album in his career.  My roommate is a big fan, telling me about the bass playing in Jump Into The Fire, how he was detuning the bass to make that wobbly sound you hear.  Another song that struck my attention was Without You and how Harry Nilsson sang it.  That is one tough song to sing and he did a good job accomplishing that.  With this album, I'd have to say it is one of the oddest, yet such a great album to listen to.  A lot of history is behind these songs, especially with one of the famous ones like  Coconut, this album has a great compilation of a variety of songs.

Enjoy!
