Doesn't count if you don't post the vid—both of you. 🙂

Voilà!

Burnwinter

Ah, that one. More or less ruined for me by its use by this real estate company on Australian TV all through my childhood 🙁

That's criminal 😆

Burnwinter

😆 True that.

Carly Simon made me think of Stevie who had her riff stolen by Beyoncé

Burnwinter

Top track that. My aunt and uncle used to have that on cassette and we'd crank it up in the living room when I stayed the night with my cousins.

Pretty reminiscent of Rebel Yell in its way.

How about this—must be one of the greatest tracks ever (also featuring weird lyrics about the arrest of psychoanalyst kook Wilhelm Reich)

So good they turned just one line from it into another #1 hit 😉

Brilliant.
Kate Bush was a true originator.

Burnwinter

Stunning, yep.

Petite brunette from the 80s … thank God she doesn't look at all like Jenks.

its been out for a little more than 5 years, and its still the best album from 2000-present by a wide margin.

Rex

That is of course very subjective, and for me that is a resounding 'no'.

Daz

Most definitely no.

RocktheCasbah

I've not heard it, but I bet it isn't.

Klaus

The question you all should be asking is how well it holds up against Michelangelo or Picasso or, you know, the pyramids.

Agreed. Gorgeous and So Appalled are the only two songs I don't particularly enjoy, otherwise it's perfect. Rarely do you find albums where like 90% of the songs are 10/10, it's that good.

This is a masterpiece:

It really isn't, Jar Jar.

Never got how the album got its ridiculous hype, neither production nor lyric wise. I could list 1000 rap and 100 albums of a dozen other genres released post-2000 that are better than that.

It's superb, I didn't like it at first either. Took me a while to get used to it back then, but after a while there was nothing better.

Recommend me a few better ones then, I need something new to listen to anyway. Listening to the same album for 5 years is a bit too much I feel.

You'll need to specify a genre and specific style (or give example albums) if you don't want me to list drone ambient releases that I enjoy more than Kanye West.

No, that's fine, I'm open to anything, but for Rap I quite enjoy Immortal Technique.
