Let me try to think of something you might not have. I don't know a lot about your musical tastes outside of that skinny motherfucker with the high voice (I do remember we used to talk politics but I took a long break from that place after the 04 election got heated!) but I did look at your tastes. 90s alternative rock/pop and female R&B. I could think of two but you might. I'll take a chance without going on and on about it, which I could. I attempted to write a paper on this describing it as an anti-feminist piece of work, but that was an ill conceived assignment and I never got feedback on it.

 Are you saying that album is full of anti-feminist sentiment!?! I always thought it very strange that Donna Summer turned on her own art. I realize that she wasn't writing everything she was doing but she is a true legend from the 70s and I have always found it sad that she was tormented in any way from the amazing work that she did.2010: Healing the Wounds of the Past.... http://prince.org/msg/8/325740 | |

Okay now I gotta cheat, 'cause it's a twofer: (although you might already have this, too! 
... I'm just gonna co-sign this one. It's the schitt. Ndeed! Cinnie knows the deal!!!
Incidentally, the titles on this twofer are "Songs", and "Hey Love" the picture's kinda small, so.... ... " I've got six things on my mind --you're no longer one of them." - Paddy McAloon, Prefab Sprout | |

Well, it's doing fairly okay: http://prince.org/msg/7/270197 Oh, I recommended my album on the basis that I liked it, I didn't check your profile, so it might not exactly be for you. And to top it off, you said you were on a Harry block... Just to say, I won't be disappointed if you skipped my recommendation.
No, actually I would! | |

No, actually I would! Unless you want to offer up something else, I will be fair and consider it like I do the rest!  2010: Healing the Wounds of the Past.... http://prince.org/msg/8/325740 | |

I realize that she wasn't writing everything she was doing but she is a true legend from the 70s and I have always found it sad that she was tormented in any way from the amazing work that she did.Not sure what you mean by that. It's not that I think she is an awful person. I'm a huge fan of Donna's and think of this album as one of favorites of all time. I never got feedback on the paper and totally abandoned it. I suppose anti-feminist in the fact that it hearkens back to the fairy tale ideas of a helpless female. I still love the album but it's very camp. You really got to listen to it and the lyrics that depict Donna (or the female character) as very helpless without a man). The world is a dangerous place for a single woman and independent success is not only not an option but depressing ("Working The Midnight Shift"). I wonder if I still have that paper on file anywhere....Hmmm...Every track on this one is Summer/Belotte/Moroder (as most of the seventies tracks where although after this album, the writing credits shifted when other cooks got into the kitchen), with Donna probably coming up with the song concepts and lyrics. That being said, one review stated it was Donna clearly recognizing her gay audience by making candy coated anthems like "If You Got It Flaunt It". Not sure. On the surface, its an album loosely based on heroines in fairy tales looking for Prince Charming ("Working..." would suggest "Cinderella"....maybe "Say Something Nice" would as well). However it is very dark. It is not easily accessible like "Bad Girls" with radio ready singles, although they probably made a good attempt at it by releasing the very safe "I Love You" as a single. No signature hits but a favorite among fans and critics regard it well. BTW, while "Once..." predates her being born again, the eighties didn't do much for her being considered a feminist. While "She Works Hard For The Money" could be a easily called a feminist anthem, a song off that album of the same name, "Woman", brings women back into the role of only being good as a wife with the call to "Treat that man real good". Maybe her worst track overall (doesn't flow musically well either). | |

This album helped keep my mom and me in good spirits, while my father was near death. It lifted our faith and provided a wonderful soundtrack for the miracle God provided in that week's turnaround. Glory to God. | |

Maybe her worst track overall (doesn't flow musically well either). Fine make me work. I am also a Donna Summer fan. I would say Bad Girls is her best work overall. I like every song on the album except the first single and #1 single, I might add, "Hot Stuff". I don't think it lives up to the rest of the album. I still love her voice and her '70's output was pretty good. 'State of Independence' is great. The song 'Woman' reminds of 'Hot Stuff', she can sing it though even if it doesn't work. I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think. |

 I guess I'll be predictable and just go with my favorite album:
Crowded House - Together Alone Beautiful imagery and fantastic songwriting, it really conveys the vibe of being on a beach with an undercurrent of darkness "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |

"Bad Girls" is very strong, but not as cohesive in theme (musically, maybe more though). I just assumed he might own "Bad Girls" and took a chance. I don't believe you don't like "Hot Stuff". That is my favorite of her real big hits from the seventies (overall, I prefer "This Time I Know It's For Real"). Other parts of the album have that rock vibe, but there it is a bit harder. But to compare it to "Woman"... | |
