Ella, Billie, Sarah et al. might have something to say about that.

As well as Me'Shell. I'll have to hear Hounds of Love, but it would take a lot for me to think it's even better than Bitter.

Yeah, I might go with 'Tapestry' perhaps. I have to give it more thought.

It's only opinion, baby. kiss2

Still, talk to Tricky or Antwan Patton and they'll likely tell you the same as me.

I guess there SHOULD have been rules about the number of Prince albums allowed per list wink

Still, that's a pretty sweet list. It gives me some ideas for musical purchases.

While doing my list for the voting, I realized how little I've explored music from outside of my time. I mean sure, I have a few old Bowies, I have the Dolly I grew up with. I have Jimi and The Doors on tape, but I've never really delved into some of the older music. That'll be my mission for the rest of the year. nod



I am like this too nod I know so much music from the older artists mentioned but have never actually invested in getting albums from any of them. I can't imagine I wouldn't like the rest of the ride since I love so much of that stuff.

Also Hounds of Love & Vespertine I've not heard a note. Some, like the Cure & Depeche Mode, I've heard some of, but not all.

Great work, man. Thanks for putting the effort in. wink


I've got Aerial, Sensual World, and I had the Red Shoes. I've rever been a huge fan, but I like her stuff well enough. My friend has always been trying to get me into her. He'd be proud if I told him I bought Hounds of Love.

Nice picks. I see you mean alternative in that none of these made the list. Some got votes, though like Funkadelic, Parliament, but surprisingly not that many of them.

Your list contains some of the big omissions, like NWA, P.E., & Run DMC, also P-Funk who amazingly didn't make it.

And Blood Sugar Sex Magic might not have been on anyone's list, I can't remember offhand. I figured that would get a bunch of votes.

Well, you at least like her, which in some ways is a surprise as I've not met many casual fans. It's usually a love/hate thing with Kate. Guess she's just one of those artists. I consider Hounds Of Love not only to be her greatest album, but also one of the very best albums that I've ever had the pleasure of hearing. It manages to be both challenging and accessible at the same time. And, in my opinion, simply a very beautiful and soulful (yes, soulful, guys!) piece of work.

Every home should have one. nod

Yeah, funny, I feel the same way about Bjork (her music, that is. I'm a fan of her personally). Most people either love or hate her.

Maybe it helps to look at it this way

1 Abbey Road
2 Ziggy Stardust
3 What's Goin On
4 OK Computer--this is suddenly very shocking
5 Songs in the Key of Life
6 White Album
7 Sign o the Times--using Prince's numerology
8 Off The Wall
9 Nevermind
10 Hounds of Love

NDRU,

Thanks so much for compiling this, it must've been a monster to deal with. Though only a handful of my picks made it, I own 52 of the 60...Yikes! Also, really enjoyed your commentary, swell job.

One of the things I had to fight when compiling my list was putting an album on my list by an artist because someone else happen to vote for it (for example, would my wanting to see Zappa on the list influence me to replace Hot Rats with Roxy & Elsewhere...). Just curious if people might have had that same tendency.

Regardless, there are quite a few repeat offenders on the list, so the really popular artists seemed to have no problem with having their votes 'split'.

bc
"I got the devil in me, girl." - 'John the Baptist', Afghan Whigs
"Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself."

Disappointing this one didn't make the list. I suppose it doesn't push the average P fan's buttons. But mostly, where oh where is Graceland????


It pushes my panic button. I don't like Alanis.

You don't have to like her to like that album.

Good point.
Which is the exact reason I didn't look at any other list before I compiled my own.

Wanted to avoid the potential "their fucking over Jimi" syndrome. cool

Yeah, some people suggested orgnote-ing the lists to make it more honest. I did mine pretty early, so I wasn't influenced, but then I did add Plastic Ono Band instead of The Sun Sessions ( I love Elvis, but Plastic Ono Band meant much more to me in the end) when I saw it elsewhere, and contemplated the same with a couple others.

It would have been easy to give your favorite artist a bump if you knew other people were voting for one specific album--If only Democrats could learn that strategy!

I know, I know. Not as if I'd say your opinion is dead wrong, or that you'd say my opinion is based in fantasy. We have the P&R forum for that!!!! lol

Based on your high recommendation, Hounds of Love is getting added to my wish list today.

(and she was fine backinaday.)

I bought 'Hounds Of Love' after reading all the propaganda about it here (I previously only had 'The Whole Story' and 'The Sensual World') and I must say it's pretty good. razz

But it's no 'Little Earthquakes' of course. wink

Much as I hate to admit it, I agree. I knew she was just pop packaged as an alternative troubador poet, but those are damn good pop songs.

Not that I'd want to hear them anymore, but at the time I liked hearing them on the radio.

I haven't liked anything since, but that album was inspired, if not actually great.

Judging by the success of that album, a lot of people feel the same way. For me however, hearing those songs and seeing those videos was like scratching nails on a blackboard. neutral

I don't get this packaging point. Read her lyrics. They're great. You can't fake that. She either felt that way when she was writing or she didn't. It was emotional trauma that made her flip her style so drastically, not marketing strategy. btw, if you check out the Unplugged album you'll find she wrote at least 10 great songs after JLP. Sadly, that was about it for Ms Morisette.

The problem with them was that I liked them instantly, and just a bit less with every listen. The best music doesn't usually grab me right away, but I almost never get tired of it.

I started out with 'Changesbowie' for awhile and couldn't get enough of it so I upgraded to this one:



I wore that double disc out and exchanged it last year for the latest best of 2CD:



So basically after three compilations, I figured it was about time to finally get a Bowie studio album. lol

What do you think of Hunky/Ziggy/Aladdin?

PS I think I saw you at NIN the other day but I was too shy to say hi. redface boxed


You so should have said hi to me! I even told my friend that if some random woman approaches me and calls me sexton, it's one of the org moderators so we were totally expecting you!

What did you think of the show? I was very impressed by everyone. Of the four times I've seen Bauhaus, that was easily their best performance. Peter Murphy was dancing around the stage like it was still the 80s! And Trent's stage production was incredible. Really awesome visuals. Peaches was funny.



Well we are both going to the same Fiona Apple show so....

I liked it, we saw the show at PNC the night before and Trent had tons more energy on Friday. I liked both shows lots though.... I LOVED the set design! It looked fantastic!

I didn't really care for Bauhaus, either night. We missed Peaches on Saturday but saw her on Friday.... I loved her she was great! lol


damn "n" edit.
