My favorites so far are ”Seven Nation Army”(obviously) and ”We're Going To Be Friends”<br />Cool you got to see to see Jessie Ware live! I agree about the consistently for her second album, which has many good songs. For me, her debut album was a bit cold and impersonal, although I do like the singles.<br />Disagree about Kanye's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, I thought the non-singles were strong. Perhaps the second half had a couple of weaker songs, but for me most of the album had a very high level.<br />Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395044055566348346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1619249406686227577.post-49073245064823991272015-09-15T16:53:11.063-07:002015-09-15T16:53:11.063-07:00I'm relieved I know all of these.

I love the man. I'm a die hard fan of the White Stripes, and I was quite impressed by his venture as a solo artist, even if the sound and direction he took surprised me a bit. <br />I was fortunate enough to see Jessie Ware live a few months ago. Her delivery is unique and full of soul. She has such an ease for music. I just wish her albums had standout tracks. None of it rises above the rest. In her case it's more about consistency and overall quality than timeless songs.<br />As an album, I didn't have quite the same regard as the critics for Kanye's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. In fact, I have the opposite criticism to my thoughts on Jessie Ware. I found a few standout tracks in Kanye's effort, but there was a lot of filler in between. However, any album with Power and Runaway deserves to be a part of such a list. <br />I think I also commented to you that I wasn't much of a fan of Daft Punk's latest album. Once again, I thought it had a few standout tracks, but some of it was no more than passable. Surely an interesting new direction for them, and one that will continue to be influential to many musicians for years to come. <br />I also feel similarly about Lana. Incredible talent and a few great songs to boot. <br />I haven't really heard the rest, but I will check them out. Great collection Chris!<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1619249406686227577.post-78902762394120693612015-09-12T04:36:02.948-07:002015-09-12T04:36:02.948-07:00@Courtney: Happy you enjoyed those albums as well,...@Courtney: Happy you enjoyed those albums as well, they certainly did stand out! <br />Will be interesting to listen to the new album by Lana.<br />Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395044055566348346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1619249406686227577.post-87474544281900405832015-09-12T04:34:53.392-07:002015-09-12T04:34:53.392-07:00@Wendell: Our music tastes differ (as usual), but ...@Wendell: Our music tastes differ (as usual), but I did enjoy a few of those albums you mention.
