Never give up on the conversion
I converted my younger sister, and I thought that would NEVER happen, I've been trying to get her onto Blondie for years. |

Haha, my sister is older than me, but pretty impressionable. So now we listen to and sing all the Mac and Blondie albums together ! *Twenty-eight or fifty-eight walkin' to refrigerator...*

Stevie Nicks - Bella Donna
Fleetwood Mac - Tusk Rickie Lee Jones - Flying Cowboys - For me this was the first album where Rickie truly found her voice. While I do like her earlier albums, she seemed to be trying too hard to be a latter day white chick version of Satchmo, or just blindly ripping off Tom Waits and Bruce Springsteen. With Rickie's "all growed-up" songs and Walter Becker's incredibly tasteful production, this whole album shimmers as it paints haunting portraits of the characters that inhabit Rickie-land. Indigo Girls - Rites of Passage - Don't let the folkie crunchiness fool you. This is it- perhaps the most solid collection of songs ever recorded by anybody. Not a clunker in the bunch. David Bowie - Station to Station - The Thin White Duke will always be my favorite Bowie. It's funky, it's soulful, it's rockin'... it's quintessential mid-70's New York City and all of its excesses and abysses. Mark Eitzel - Sixty Watt Silver Lining - It's out of print, but you must seek it out. It's too good for words. Coldplay - A Rush of Blood to the Head - Yeah, everyone hates Coldplay, but this album is so addictive. It's over-the-top, dramatic and sentimental... but every song is so infectious. Kate Bush - Hounds of Love - What hasn't been said about this brilliant masterwork? Carly Simon - The Bedroom Tapes - This is the last great Carly Simon recording before her voice completely went to seed. As the name implies, it's the most heartfelt, intimate album of her entire career. Joni Mitchell - Hejira - But of course! |

Although I don't speak spanish, I've been listening to the CD in full ... I'm going to make it a point to read the words to the 3 spanish versions so I can at least sing along to them. The peeps at the club will be so impressed. I hear "Gypsy" is the new single. I hope "Men In This Town" gets a video.

Kylie - again, we are different here. I can not get into "Impossible Princess." This is another example of an artist trying to be taken more seriously (in my opinion). Although I do like all of the singles from the album, I can't get into the CD as a whole. Kylie smartened up and returned to her pop roots, what she does best. I LOVE "X" btw. |

Oh I think you're right that, for singles anyway, it's pure pop that Kylie does best. I just really, really rate Impossible Princess as an entirely cohesive album. Great singles and no filler, but yeah, her best songs are probably Better The Devil You Know (which is actually a very dark song if you listen to the lyrics), Hand On Your Heart, Step Back In Time etc... the Rhythm Of Love era was Kylie at her absolute best! Oooh, I so wanted to like X. I really, really did - especially after 2 Hearts was a great and different style for her. I just can't get into it though. I was hoping it would grow on me like Body Language did, but no. In My Arms is good and a couple of others are ok but on the whole I'd have to say it's one of her weakest, after Let's Get To It of course! I just hate Nu-di-ty. What on earth was she thiniking?! Oh well, imagine how boring it would be if we all liked the same thing?!?

Hmmmmm....ok.....here goes...
DISCLAIMER: This is as of this very moment, could change at any time: (no particular order) ANY Beatles album...for me, they transcend music. The Allman Brothers Band - Live At The Fillmore East The best live album ever released...THIS is what the ABB is all about, being on stage, playing the blues, mixing in lengthy jazz improvisation....doesn't get to much better than this for "white boy blues". Derek & The Dominos - Layla & Other Assorted Love Songs Eric Clapton's anguish....and it comes through the music. ZZ Top - Tres Hombres That "Lil' Ol' Band From Texas" at their best before the beards & MTV made them caracatures of themselves Little Feat - Dixie Chicken Solid from song to song....no filler anywhere...also could substitute their Sailin' Shoes, Feats Don't Fail Me Now, or Last Record Album albums here, as well...all are equally strong. (tie) Miles Davis - Kind Of Blue & Dave Brubeck - Take Five When I want to get away from rock, I head for two the greatest jazz albums ever recorded The Motels - All Four One Like with Little Feat, strong throughout, could also substitute their prior album Careful here, as well. "I never knew mercy could feel this way....." Concrete Blonde - Walking In London Could've named any of their albums, but this one doesn't have a skippable song, the others have at least one. The Rolling Stones - Steel Wheels Kind of a toss up between this & Exile On Main St or Sticky Fingers, but this one just kind of came out of the blue...didn't think the Stones still had a studio album this strong still in them at the time. Jimi Hendrix Experience - Electric Ladyland Jimi's best...while he was alive....just wonder what he would've released had he lived...there was a whole lot of great material that was left unfinished that was hastily released just after his death...even CDs such as Voodoo Soup & First Rays Of The New Rising Sun give a glimpse, but who knows how that material would've been presented had Jimi been able to complete the process. ************************** Can't go without mentioning: The Who - Live At Leeds (Deluxe Edition) Loved this album when it first came out, but thought it was too short, then MCA released an expanded version which was awesome...then they released the entire show...THAT version is the closest rival to the Allman's Fillmore album The first five Led Zeppelin albums...and to a slightly lesser extent Physical Graffiti...material so good that I just can't stand to listen to it anymore due to radio airplay overkill as well as listening to their albums on my own. Thought Presence sucked and never really liked them after that. The albums during the initial go-round of Steely Dan...from Can't Buy A Thrill through Gaucho...not a "filler" track in the bunch. and you'll probably have noticed that no Fleetwood Mac or related albums were mentioned...intentional. Discussed those here ad nauseum, so no need to mention them again.

Yes - the one with Labelle. It's all covers but sung with such conviction that it seems as personal and heartfelt as her self-written epics.

Very true, "It's Gonna Take A Miracle" almost brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it. I love Desiree and The Wind too.
