CDs without one bad track
I was glancing at my 400+ CDs earlier this evening and thinking how incredibly rare it is that I like every single song on a CD. Even in the case of some of my favorite singers, I can't say that I like every song on their albums. There's almost always at least one that either does nothing for me or just sucks. Some of the singers whose CDs have all great tracks in my book still aren't my all-time favorite singers, either. :shrug:
These are the only CDs I have that have no unlikable tracks to me: Lindsey Buckingham- Out of the Cradle (this is the only FM-related CD I have with all solid tracks, IMO) No Doubt- Tragic Kingdom Sara Evans- Born to Fly Reba McEntire- Rumor Has It Cyndi Thomson- My World Celine Dion- Unison (pop perfection :shrug: ) Shakira- MTV Unplugged Big Daddy- The Best of Big Daddy- Sgt. Pepper's Kim Richey- Kim Richey Kim Richey- Rise Terri Clark- Terri Clark Norah Jones- Come Away with Me That seems to be it. It strikes me as odd that that list doesn't even represent some of my very favorite artists. So what about y'all? |
Tom Petty's Wildflowers
Sheryl Crow's The Globe Sessions Lindsey Buckingham's OOTC |
First off - I like Terry Clark - I used to work at a Country Music station - and I dug her - our production manager SWORE that she's a lesbian - do you know if that is true?
-------- Okay - here are some cds on which I like every track (these are the ones that come to mind): Sarah McLachlan - Surfacing Alanis Morisette- Jagged Little Pill Meredith Brooks - Blurring the Edges Sheryl Crow, Tuesday Night Music Club, C'mon C'mon, The Globe Sessions Loretta Lynn-Van Lear Rose Matchbox 20 - Mad Season Cyndi Lauper - 12 Deadly Cyns |

LOL - well the woman who told me that is a hard-core lesbian herself - and she claims that Terri is a lesbian but can't really come out in the "country music world"
So to back this claim, Lori (that was the lesbian manager's name) said that at a Terri show, Lori got to go meet her backstage (she got to do that with all the country acts) and anyway - as she was leaving she said Terri leaned over to hug her and whispered in her ear, "Great earring, wish I could wear one" - Lori was wearing a rainbow earring. Don't know if that's true or not....:shrug: |

Deanna, that story is fascinating! I had never heard that about her before! I think she could come out, but I'm well aware that a lot of people I know who love country music would not approve of that at all. But, in my experiences, people don't stop listening to the music for that reason or others like that. Country fans seem to be loyal enough so that if they like the music that's all that matters. |
