Just a tune, gets lodged for the day.

Right along with Silver Girl, another doozy.

I've never liked that song. It sounds like bubblegum pop.

I thought RAL was a good album. Very dated with all the synthesizers and all but still a good album. TOSOTM was a reasonably good album but it went downhill from there.
I did like IYD when it was first released but when I listened to it the other day, I liked just a few songs. Sadly her A game has vanished

RAL was tolerable. I'm sorry but OSOTM blew goats. It ended my fandom of her.

For me it was Street Angel, one of the most horrible albums ever made.

Yeah, this album makes RAL a dream.

All of those albums have bad songwriting, but I least like the production on Street Angel. Next I would say is OSOTM and then RAL. Jimmy was gone so there was no one to give her constructive feedback, a least, that she would listen to. Just a mountain and coke and the hang-oners.

I recently listened to SYW after a long break and was shocked how bad her vocals are on it. The songs that I thought I liked (Thrown Down & Not Make Believe) sounded so nasally that I couldn't even listen to them. Nothing like the voice I fell in love with in the early days. But for me the absolute worse is Live In Chicago. I couldn't even make it through it even once! Her first album that was released that I couldn't even listen to. I was shocked and bewildered how bad her vocals had became. Closely followed by the live 24 Karat album (I say Hey Baby). Completely unlistenable. I still enjoy the early work, but I'm protective of my memories and stay away from anything from the last several decades.
