With 24 K coming into the mix, it shakes things up just a bit and it ranks high for me.

1. Bella Donna (with songs like Edge of Seventeen, Bella Donna and Leather and Lace, how could this possibly be outdone)
2. The Wild Heart: I love her voice on this album and she took it to new places and just kept it going through the whole album. She even took a poorly written song, Gate and Garden and made it special just because she sounded so amazing. To me, it doesn't feel that dated because some of these sounds are showing up in the current group of artists.
3. 24 Karot Gold: This one ranks high because of the quality of the songs and her voice, which sounds just stellar throughout most of the album. This contains some of the best moments of her solo career and proves that you really can make a beautiful song (Mabel Normand) out of a not so great demo.
4. In Your Dreams: Her most consistent album since the early 80's, I like Dave Stewart's influence and he can be thanked for giving her the motivation and confidence to record again.
5. Street Angel: I like this album and don't think it's as bad as everyone says, although my choice for worst is some people's favs so it does become about taste.
6. Trouble In Shangri-La: Not that I don't like it, it's just not a favourite. She didn't have to try quite this hard to have her "Supernatural" moment and could've had it if the material quality throughout matched the first 4 tracks, alas, it didn't.
7. The Other Side of the Mirror: After such a great start with the awesome Rooms on Fire, what happened? It just went downhill from there and made a very lack-lustre effort.
8. Rock a Little: The moment her career changed unfortunately. She lost so many casual fans (the critical mass that took her to the top) with this record and came dangerously close to self-parody, not to mention self-destruction. What could've been a great album was ruined by about a year of unnecessary tweaking and a level of craziness that we as hard-core fans have only scratched the surface of. A bad, bad album and embarrassing tour to follow. I never listen to Rock a Little at all anymore.
