Annie Lennox's "Smithereens"...maybe the best song of 2007!

This song is so beautiful. By far one of the best songs of the year.

Love this song. Especially towards the end..."Everybody is an island of their own!" biggrin I've had it in my head for days.

I wish "Sing" didn't suck so bad. It's the only song on the disc that isn't great. Overall, this album is very much an 80s Eurythmics sounding album.

Can't wait till the Atlanta show 10/29! woot!

God I need to get to the wrecka store.

"Medusa" made me a fan. "Diva" made her one of my all time faves (I discovered them in reverse order). "Bare" is at once her best record and her worst - it's such a downer, but such fantastic melodies ("Honestly" and "Wonderful" and "Pavement Crack" especially).

I am kind of nervous about the new one...I hate the cover. But don't judge a record by its cover I guess.
I'll leave it alone babe...just be me

For real? "Medusa" is your favorite?

I love most of "Medusa," but I'd have to put it at the bottom. In fact, my list would be the exact opposite. biggrin "Diva" first, though. Then, "Bare," "Songs," and "Medusa."

My list may be the exact opposite once I listen to the new one!

Cool song. Sounds to me like it could fit on an early Eurythmics album, such as "Touch." You think?

And it's surprisingly risque, too. I mean, for her.
