Ian the stats man lol

I'll take "Diamonds & Pearls" because at least all the songs sound like they were written for the same project.

"Rave" to me sounds more like a more diverse version of his 1979 self-titled album. Too uneven to enjoy as a whole, but has some great individual moments.

That'll answer all of your questions, Anji.

Moonie, you crack me up! You don't need a calculator to measure pop.

Anji said:

You don't, but you kept posing song-by-song comparison questions, so I thought I'd give you an answer. The computations are there to show that Rave is significantly higher on my list.

Moonbeam said:

I wonder what Tron's computations would signify?

Anji said:

They'd signify that he likes Diamonds and Pearls better, because he does.

On your preference list, Everyday Is A Winding Road is listed higher than Insatiable. I rest my case.

Anji said:

I never said my taste was ordinary or standard, but it's mine. That list is accurate.

Moonbeam said:

Your taste is extraordinary, Moonie, but for all the wrong reasons. j/k

Anji said:

Outside of this disagreement, Moonie, we do actually share the same sentiment towards the albums 1999 and Lovesexy, and the song All The Critics Love You In New York.

Anji said:

And much more, I'm sure.

I still think I gave Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic a wholeheartedly positive review. I did!

Anji said:

You certainly can't be talking about Bonnie Raitt's version then.

There are certainly more overtly emotional songs than “ILYBIDTYA” ("The Beautiful Ones” comes to mind), but this one is not about screaming and crying, but rather about slow reflection upon the beauty and romance, hurt and anger that has come to pass and building to a point of strength where it can all be expelled once and for all.

At 2:49 he sings, "You've tricked me” and from that point on each syllable becomes a punch to the gut delivered in heart rendering slow motion.

“WILL (right) NOT (left) AN(right)-NEE(left) MORE(right). But this fighter doesn’t go down, but rather raises his hand in victory even amidst the final pounding chords where his long and lamenting final note relinquishes every last vestige of anguish until his pain has run its course and can do nothing but crumple helplessly at his feet. He then gathers himself briefly and delivers the last line with the sturdiness and conviction of a man who can now truly move forward.

And even if you can’t feel that, without "ILYBIDTYA" perhaps we never get the earth-shattering masterpiece "Avalanche", a song that can hold this type of stunning emotion for the entire length of the song.
