PrintableAnxiety said: As for Snowbug, it may not be the best High Llamas album, but it's my favorite for several reasons. First off, I really like the vocal contributions from the Stereolab gals. Secondly, and on a very personal level, I bought this album when I was in NYC, and at that time I was in a really horrible living situation....and for the time that it took me to get out of that place and into a better apartment, that CD was the only beautiful thing in my home. I can totally understand that - lots of times a record that may not be an artist's finest resonates for a listener, whether it's because personal circumstances or just striking a chord. This isn't a completely equivalent situation, but Come is my favourite Prince album for reasons I can't even begin to articulate: it's the one P record I regularly find myself returning to.

You're totally cheating with Grace Jones, though. i knew you'd get me on grace...but i consider it a document of her best recording sessions ever, moreso than a greatest hits anthology.  | |

You're totally cheating with Grace Jones, though. i knew you'd get me on grace...but i consider it a document of her best recording sessions ever, moreso than a greatest hits anthology. It's still a compilation. Can you at least tell me the order you'd rank her 3 albums from 80-82? I know I'm a stickler.  Feel free to join in the Prince Album Poll 2018!

I know I'm a stickler. see, i consider 'warm leatherette', 'living my life' and 'nightclubbing' to be more or less the same album. i can't differentiate them in terms of favorites or even different moods (though 'living my life' is definitely more R&B). with compass point sessions, i don't have to differentiate anymore!
do you REALLY think that's flakey?  | |

do you REALLY think that's flakey? I'm very happy with your list. I just thought considering the 3 individually would land her more in there. Feel free to join in the Prince Album Poll 2018! Let'a celebrate his legacy by counting down the most beloved Prince albums, as decided by you! | |

'compass point' is all the good stuff she did in the early '80s without the (very small amount of) filler. and thank you! | |

What about stuff where it's all non-album material like b-sides albums or something like "Substance" by Joy Division?
Should those be considered as "albums"? | |

Should those be considered as "albums"? I guess it depends on if it feels like an album to you. | |
