Did Laura Branigan have any good albums?

I think she has a good voice, but the production of her songs is schlocky to me. I have never heard an album by her, and if I were going to get one, I would like a recommendation on which one is the best.

Ta-ta!

Me, too! Of course, Gloria, and Self Control are on my ishuffle, but I've never heard that a whole album of hers is good.

She was a singles artist .Her most recent and I think posthumous compliation should suffice .

Yeah. I always felt bad for her because she couldn't write songs herself. And by "always" I mean "in the past year or so". :wavey:

Hehe...you answered your own question: schlocky.

But if you must pick one full length album, go with Self Control or Branigan 2. Best bet would be a compilation, the older one is better: Best of Branigan.

In my opinion, she had no good albums.

P.S. Oh my god, is she dead?

Yeah, last yearish. :( I shed a tear when they played her clip during the "who died last year" portion of the grammys. Gloria, it was, they played.
Disco ball and all.
The grammy crowd roared. :) I think all us 70's/80's kids were shocked, she was so young...
:p :distress:

GLORIA, GLORIA!!!


girl had some pipes, as they say...:woohoo:


WHOA OH OH! WHOA OH OH!
(whoaohoh.whoaohoh.whoaohoh.whoaohoh!)


*something really freaky just happened. I was editing this post, and I hit something, I guess? And my itunes started playing "Gloria". But it wasn't next, and I don't really think I hit anything. Swear. :shocked:

I love me some Laura - but there is no way she has had a decent album , not that I have heard them all - But I have the self titled one and Touch, the one with Cry Wolf - and they are both very average, BombaySapphire3 was right in saying she is a singles artist.

I find her style to be very similar to Paula Abdul - if you like a WHOLE Paula Abdul album, you will most likely like a WHOLE Laura Branigan album :woohoo:

Yeah but Laura could actually carry a tune.Paula couldn't if her life depended on it .90% of the rejects on AI sing better than Paula.

I love Laura and it was so sad when she died. I have a couple of her albums, but I couldn't tell you the names of them. I agree with everyone that a "best of" would be the way to go.

DavidMn 03-28-2006 02:50 PM

Did she O.D? She couldnt have been very old.
