I've been reminiscing about a few favorite artists of mine, and below is the history and my personal take on their albums.

The Madonna InitiationSince I was a wee little girl, I've been listening to Madonna, collecting her studio releases, etc. I think it was "Material Girl" that first drew me in. I could've sworn at the time she wasn't saying "

Hey,
The only one I really disagree on is Living in Clip vs. So Much Shouting, So Much Laughter. I would have said EXACTLY what you said about each, but reversed. I LOVE SMS, SML... so incredibly much. I think both discs are just pure genius. And then after loving it so much, Living in Clip was a disappointment to me. I like it, but I don't think it's as amazing as the other one. And I didn't even hear it [either one] until a while after they came out, so it wasn't that...

I totally agree about Little Plastic Castle, that and SMS SML are probably my favorites.

Hmm... Up x 6, I only listen to a few songs off it. Tis of Thee, Virtue, Up x 6, and Jukebox. I dunno, I think those songs are absolutely fabulous but the rest of the album... blah.

Everything else you said I more or less agree with, give or take some stuff.

I kind of want to do my own Ani CD review now! Heh. I'm so proud of myself... I've almost gotten every CD. I'm missing the first three (Ani DiFranco, Imperfectly, and Not so Soft) and Evolve, which I'm not so enthusiastic about based on the songs I know. Then I just need the official bootlegs and DVDs, and my collection will be completely :)

Oh yeah, I sort of agree about Not a Pretty Girl. It used to be my favorite of her albums but then when I heard more other stuff... it just sort of dropped back. I do think it's an incredible album but I wouldn't call it my favorite anymore. Though, the song Not a Pretty Girl is my all-time favorite SONG.

and by completely I mean the more sensibly-used complete. Okay. Time to sleep and stop commenting on my own comments.

but it's so cute :) I'll get back to you later. I have to get some sleep too! hehe

[dove95]

I'm missing Ani's earlier stuff too. I've been asking for Puddle Dive and Imperfectly for birthdays and Christmases for like, ever!

I think I need to listen to SMS SML more or something. I think the main disappointment was that I was expecting more songs from TTT to be represented. *shrug*

I am now feeling compelled to listen to it again now tho :)

I would like to read an Ani CD review from you!

I've fallen in love with the "crade and all/tamburitza lingua" medly on the first one, and the "loom/pulse" medley on the second. That latter is damn sexy!!

"Pulse" is just sexy anyway :)

[superlily74]

Do you mean the Letter to a John/Tamburitza Lingua medley? That's one of my absolute favorite-est songs/medleys ever.

[dove95]

Yeah, that's what I mean. I'm a moron :D
