Most anything by Frank Zappa, or some of the records by his chum George Duke.

Madonna - Music (she talked about herself on this ENITREEE albummm)


I'll agree with American Life, but Music is quite the opposite.

What do songs like Music, Impressive Instant, Runnaway Lover, Amazing, Don't Tell Me have to do with her being self indulgent? Even What It Feels Like For a Girl, she was tackling an issue, the song wasn't solely about her.

I know some people here love it, and I'm not saying it's without its merits, but Here My Dear by Marvin Gaye is pretty self-indulgent, and quite 'snivelly'. It's a typical, middle-aged divorcee blaming all his inadequacies on his mean old ex-wife - tell us something we haven't heard before!!. The music's great though!

I will have to disagree with you about Here My Dear. He really tells the story from various perspectives and often blames himself for his shortcomings and the failure of the marriage. I think you need to re-listen to that album.

Yeah, it's a bit much. But I still like bits of it. A good album, not a great one.

Lots of poor albums fit into this category, but I will also add:


Mansun - Six


Very self-indulgent, but in all the right ways. How else would you come up with an album like that unless you did indeed throw in everything including the kitchen sink?!

I totally agree with this. And coming off of "Hardline", what an utter disappointment it was.

How 'bout Lauryn Hill's Unplugged debacle?
