1. Prince - Lovesexy/ Parade

I'm really an 80's child

That's Dylan not Stevie, as great as He is, He hasn't got the depth of Dylan's writing.

Prince – Sign O the Times

Nick Drake – Pink Moon

Joni Mitchell – The Hissing of Summer Lawns

Fleetwood Mac – Rumours

Talk Talk – The Colour of Spring

This comment is sticking with me. You know how it is when a certain album sticks with you, maybe while your brain is pruning and it still lights up like Christmas every time you hear it.

There is an MC Lyte album that does this for me and I don't think it has appeared in ANY album list published anywhere.

Hmmmm...are we talking about Lyte As A Rock?

No, Eyes On This, the second one!! I wore that cassette out (and a CD).

Friend of mine got an original vinyl copy. I'm way more into the Jane Birkin album.

Reviews on Steve Hoffman say the vinyl anniversary reissue is very good.

I saw Jane Birkin live earlier this month at this show: http://www.brooklynvegan....-setlist/ Incroyable !

WOW!!

Is that the White Album you are referring to?

Yep.

I love it.

SOTT and Talking Book wouldn't because there are other works from the respective artists that are even more well-thought-of. Like Purple Rain and Songs In The Key Of Life.

In my opinion neither of them are better than the former albums. Perhaps you could make the case about PR being better than SOTT, however SITKOL is not as cohesive sound and lyrical wise as Talkin Book.

What the heck, I never thought of Talking Book quite like that.

a top 5 is a personal choice.

Here's my top five:

Prince & The Revolution - Purple Rain

Janet Jackson - Control

MC Lyte - Eyes On This

Stevie Wonder - Songs In The Key Of Life

Hole - Live Through This

And that's something you, I and the Nobel Prize comittee agree on.

Indeed, and my opinion carries a heavy weight.

J.C. Bach - Passio Domini nostri J.C. secundum Evangelistam Matthæum BW 244

R. Wagner - Der Ring des Nibelungen WWV 86

Sly Stone - Small Talk

Prince - The Rainbow Children

Tori Amos - Scarlet's Walk

as great as some of Stevie Wonder's songs are written, and with all due respect to his amazing voice, the music on his albums didnt always move me... too soft at times...no edginess...rarely funky... too sweet...

I see where you coming from, still, he has so many great funky songs. Although in his later years his music has been sugar coated.

The other 2 guys r living, I believe . The correct answer is: Nirvana stinks/stunk. Hole n LTT was da bomb .

Btw, Prince's late tune Dear Mr. Man is reminiscent of Can't Strain My Brain
