Other than P and The Cure I'd only be bothered with Tom Waits' Rain Dogs and Tim by The Replacements.

France Joli One of my favorites! I have that LP along with all her others. She needs a thread. She was the Madonna of her time(but a better voice). Yes I like Madonna too, so no rants.smile

His "Hearsay" was supposedly his peak, but that debut is one of the dearest albums in my possession, and dare I say it, TL & JJ's best production.

I absolutely no less than adore this album. Don't Work that Hard, Absolute, Perfect Way, Hypnotize, Wood Beez are 5 of the most perfect pop songs ever written.

I keep hearing his name being mentioned around here. I don't know much about him outside of his work with Chaka. I might give that album a listen.
