Still spinning it pretty regularly and was quite surprised that she didn't come back as Phil Collins or Elton John. (Age can do that to a person, you know.) She's still as wonderfully out of step and idiosyncratic as she's always been. I thought her last two albums were good (especially The Sensual World) but were a little too safe compared to what had gone before.
With songs like Pi, Bertie, Mrs. Bartolozzi, Sunset & the title track, it's clear that with Aerial she's still not too concerned with doing anything other than satisfying her own wayward whims.

I think it's brilliant. Easily a album in my opinion.

I think the second disc is really special. I love the whole conceipt, but then I am a fan of self-indulgent whims. Prologue, Sunset, Nocturne... these compositions are so elegant and really uplifting.

I was disappointed by the first disc though. Other than the instant classic that is King Of The Mountain and probably Joanni, it left me feeling cold.

MattyJam said:

Yeah, most folk much prefer the second disc. And it is a beautiful piece of work, no question. But I love the first disc, too. King Of The Mountain, Pi, How To Be Invisible and A Coral Room are up there with my very favourites of hers, particularly the last two mentioned. I actually think HTBI would make a great single.
Or maybe I'm just simply deranged.

Way.

The line "put your hand over the side of the boat and what do you feel?" makes me feel exactly what she's singing about.

That's the sign of true artistry.

Nice List!

Thanks. I never put it in my top ten but "Darling Dear" by the J5 is awesome. I still can't believe MJ was all of 12 yrs old when he sang that song...

In no specific order...It's just too hard to rank...Also, I excluded Prince...It's just too many...

- Journey - Who's Crying Now
- Journey - Ask the Lonely
- Bryan Adams - Everything I Do (I Do It For You)
- Billy Squier - My Kinda Lover
- Genesis - In Too Deep
- Marilyn Manson - Rock is Dead
- Offspring - Pretty Fly (For a White Guy)
- Phil Collins - Another Day In Paradise
- Tom Waits - Goin' Out West
- Eagles - I Can't Tell You Why

Wow, my list is terrible...But hey, gimma a break, I'm only 15...

FrancerulzV99 said:

Yeah, it really is.



It's ok though. Admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery. And "Who's Crying Now" is a good song.

I got carried away. Thank God for Itunes or this would've taken forever. I left out Prince songs completely because I'd still be working on it.
