1123. 1122. Fleetwood Mac - Tusk / 1979 / 1947 Geoffrey (54), marc (130), whuntva (262), ChrisK (413), Stone37 (435). Tusk was disappointing to me after the prior two album from Fleetwood Mac. But, it still makes my top 1200. I would recommend the following songs from the album: Tusk (am1586), Sara ...

4048. 540. Celine Dion - Falling Into You / 1996 /nr M24 (495), Bruno (522). Celine Dion's Falling into You returned the Canadian vocalist to the top of the American charts, and for good reason. Although the album is formulaic, it's a well-executed, stylish, and catchy formula, accentuating her natu...

2050. 83. Doobie Brothers - The Captain And Me / 1973 / BU marc (256). The Doobie Brothers' third long-player was the charm, their most substantial and consistent album to date, and one that rode the charts for a year. It was also a study in contrasts, Tom Johnston's harder-edged, bolder rocking num...

Other songs that DaveC could recommend include: Leaf and Stream; and Warrior.

Thanks for the recommendations. Both songs are enjoyable for me.

The songs lack dynamic transitions, and so they will likely be slow growers for me. I presently have a slight preference for Everything is Free over Elvis Presley Blues.

4015. 922. Gillian Welch - Time (The Revelator) / 2001 / 809 sonofsamiam (560), andy1010 (578), nicolas (623) Hopefully one of the three above gents can recommend few more songs for my listening pleasure from the Time album. So far I have enjoyed: I Dream a Highway, I Want to Sing That Rock and Roll,

2049. / Dirty Projectors / Swing Lo Magellan / 2012 / 1460 ChrisK (194). I thought that a few of the earlier songs by Dirty Projectors were pretty good, but I don't remember the songs on this album very well. I'm looking forward to recommendations from ChrisK or others who placed this album in their...

Please provide a second recommendation from the album. Track 2 is an orchestration of a Rachmaninoff song, originally with piano. The title Zdes' Khorosho means "How Peaceful". This is another example of her impressive but subtle vocal style. Thanks for this recommendation. The high note ...

2042. Bat for Lashes - The Bride - 2016 / BU Moonbeam (30) I hope that Moonbeam can recommend a few songs for me to pay more attention to from this album. My understanding is that 4 singles were released from the album: In God's House, Sunday Love, Joe's Dream and If I Knew/In Your Bed. The AllMusic...

Thanks to both andy1010 and bonnielaurel for their Laura Marling recommendations. I need to relisten to each of those recommendations to see which of the songs become growers for me. At this point my faves from the album are: Wild Fire, The Valley and Next Time. Among the other songs, the only one t...

Anna Netrebko / Russian Album She's my favorite opera singer, famous for her roles in Italian and French operas, but here she sings arias from her own country. My tip is the opening track, from Tchaikovsky's Iolante . Thanks so much - Iolante was an excellent recommendation. Anna's voice soars and ...

2041. / Laura Marling / Semper Femina / 2017 / 2964 bonnielaurel (79) After reading the AllMusic review of the album, I plan to start with listening to "The Valley" and "Next Time" from this album. Hopefully, bonnielaurel can give me her take on these two songs and any other song...

Some more albums from the 4000-4016 that could merit some additional listening for me include: 4000. 1282.

1113. 1598. Sam Cooke / Ain't That Good News / 1964 / nr Bonnielaurel placed this album at 274. I had it at 1598. If I placed this album in my top 1000, perhaps it could be Good News for this album to make the top 1000 of our next poll. I would be keenly interested in hearing about any of the follow...

Solera is new to me and difficult to find using apple music. I was able to find a version on Apple Music from a 1971 album titled "El Camaron de la Isla" that was 3 minutes and 42 seconds long. YouTube had a version (referred to as "Integral") of the same length and it was quite ...

1035. 1546. Robyn / Honey / 2018 This album starts quietly, but grows towards the final track Ever Again . 1073. / Michael Jackson - History / 1995 Earth Song was his last truly great song: an ecology anthem. Stranger in Moscow is another strong ballad. 1090. BU / Bill Withers / Just As I Am / 1971...

My Morning Jacket - Dondante: 5.6

Some nice guitar at 4:40 or so in this song.

My Top 5 off the album: 1. Sodade (the best known song on the album is named after the Cape Verdean variation of the Portuguese word "saudade" and alludes to a deep melancholy and longing, related in this song to migration out of Cape Verde). 2. Angola (the most up-tempo song on the album,...

Makes sense that I am aligned with stone37 and bonnielaurel.

Henry

For Flood, I love the whole thing, but standout tracks, from most obvious to less obvious, at least for me, are: Birdhouse in Your Soul, Instanbul (Not Constantinople), Your Racist Friend, Particle Man, We Want a Rock, Dead, Road Movie to Berlin, Someone Keeps Moving My Chair, and Letterbox. Thanks...

619. Todd Rundgren – Black Maria: 8.2

Black Maria had some decent guitar work and was one of many "all-Todd" songs where Todd played every instrument and sang every vocal for the song.

1102. / Cesaria Evora / Miss Perfumado / 1992 / 1268
Honorio (246) - It is often difficult for me to appreciate music that includes vocals in non-english languages as much as I should. Hopefully, Homorio can help me through the best songs on this album so that my appreciation of the album improves.

1076. / Pearl Jam / Vitalogy / 1994 / 873 Chris K (22) - Very high rating from Chris for this album. I have the CD and some of the songs are pretty good.

Honorio (246) - Although I haven't spent much time listening to this album yet, I am very hopeful that Honorio will provide me sufficient encouragement to give some of its songs a thorough perusal.

Paul McCartney may have had the most songs appear in Biggest Fan, but none of them makes the top 100. So with 5 eligible songs, but no hits he wins the prize for Biggest Loser. Tough luck. His most important competitor, Todd Rundgren, also doesn't manage to crack the top 100. It will be interesting ...

They determined the sound of the decade, but were often f...

1100 / 260. Foo Fighters - Foo Fighters / 1995 / 892 Holden (108) Essentially a collection of solo home recordings by Dave Grohl, Foo Fighters' eponymous debut is a modest triumph. Driven by big pop melodies and distorted guitars, Foo Fighters do strongly recall Nirvana, only with a decidedly lighte...

1068 / 95. Elton John - Madman Across The Water / 1971 / 2710 stone (182) Trading the cinematic aspirations of Tumbleweed Connection for a tentative stab at prog rock, Elton John and Bernie Taupin delivered another excellent collection of songs with Madman Across the Water. Like its two predecessors...

1056. 321. Deep Purple - Made In Japan / 1972 567 Honorio (179) Recorded over three nights in August 1972, Deep Purple's Made in Japan was the record that brought the band to headliner status in the U.S. and elsewhere, and it remains a landmark in the history of heavy metal music. Since reorganizing...

1055 /146. Elton John - Honky Chateau / 1972 / 1523 bonnielaurel (418) Considerably lighter than Madman Across the Water, Honky Chateau is a rollicking collection of ballads, rockers, blues, country-rock, and soul songs. On paper, it reads like an eclectic mess, but it plays as the most focused and ...

1047 / 252. Jackson Browne - Late for the Sky / 1974 / 516 Nice to see stone37 (126) rate this album so well. On his third album, Jackson Browne returned to the themes of his debut record (love, loss, identity, apocalypse) and, amazingly, delved even deeper into them. "For a Dancer," a med...

This is the range where many albums place that receive less than 4 votes, but one of those votes fairly high. Lots of my favorite Rundgren albums show up in this range.

1036 / 113. Journey - Escape / 1981 / 2245 To my surprise, my enjoyment of Escape did not quite match the enjoyment by Renan95 (73rd fave).
