Is that a new one? I just got a new hits one earlier this year. I thought she had an album of film noir torch song covers years ago.

I liked Film Noir (save that awful track with Travolta

), but this new one, Moonlight Serenade, sounds truly wretched. I saw a commercial for it about an hour ago and my jaw dropped.

Don't know the Travolta song. I haven't gotten over the cheese of that Twist Of Fate video with him & Olivia Newton-John.
Carly's music is best when it's not overdone.

Hey, we've all admitted some crap tonight. I just admitted i liked that Baby Come And Get It song from the Pointer Sisters - smuttiest song ever. Wasn't there a video to it or is it just my perverted imagination?
(For the record, I also liked Automatic, but I don't think that's as embarrassing.)

I saw one of the PS in a bar in New Orleans about a year or two ago and she was so strung out she couldn't sing - she was arrested shortly thereafter - what a shame because they were so good IMO.

I always liked Anita. Last I saw they all looked like hell.

I think you're talking about June. She had a serious drug problem in the 80's. I remember watching her perform then and thinking "She's high."

lots of great choices already mentioned so I'll add these three:

Mary-Chapin Carpenter... because her lyrics always take me places

kd lang - some of you are going to be kicked out of the club for forgetting her...

and the songstress herself... Anita Baker

I LOVE her - everytime I hear Rapture (the album and song) I am immediately transported to New Orleans in like 1987 when all of my friends were still alive, I was young and gorgeous, life had little cares, and I was so completely happy. God shine His love on that woman for that!

I totally forgot about Nico! I can't believe that. I LOVE her voice. Also, Exene Cervenka. I fail. -_-

Nico · #90 07-04-2005, 12:58 AM

Yeah Nico...never heard a voice like hers in my life. She is amazing. I love her music and I find her entire persona so fascinating.

Polly Jean Harvey is my favorite female artist ever (thus the avatar pic). She has an unlimited range of emotion, and she's so raw and passionate in so many of her songs. Not to mention prolific. Extremely prolific and a brilliant, brilliant songwriter.

I looked through all these pages and am very saddened that Laura Nyro was never mentioned (as far as I could see). Her voice was absolutely breathtaking. She wrote gorgeous music and was such a fantastically underrated artist. I remember reading she was booed off stage at the Monterey Pop Festival for wearing angel wings during her performance, but Miles Davis somehow got ticked off because she apparantly upstaged him at that (or some other) show. Her music is sooooo beautiful and soooo emotional.

I love a lot of the artists already mentioned, though. Especially Etta.
