One Hundred Albums You Should Remove from Your Collection Immediately
List found here. How many of these albums do you own? I don't own all that many albums, but I own a few of these.
7. The Police--Synchronicity "To enjoy Synchronicity is to consider one's self to be socially enlightened without having to dredge up any real empathy." Or perhaps it's to enjoy catchy pop songs, maybe even to wander around singing "Murder by Numbers" to anyone who complains about your owning a copy of Synchronicity. I'm just saying.
24. Nine Inch Nails--Pretty Hate Machine. I've mentioned before that three albums helped me get through the early '90s when my health started to go downhill: For entirely different reasons, Bel Canto's Birds of Passage, Peter Himmelman's From Strength to Strength, and Nine Inch Nails' Pretty Hate Machine. Boys and girls, music can save your life. That said, I'm still not sure how I feel about the fact that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
musesfool says "The Only Time" reminds her of me.
I do not actually own a copy of 42. The Police--Zenyatta Mondatta, but I do have to say that "Everything else is overwhelmed by the shallow ball of ego that is Sting" does not strike me as a compelling reason to toss any album. I like Sting's shallow ball of ego. I think it's fun to toss around like a big beach ball of melody. Or something like that. For the record, I've got albums by another Policeman as well--Stewart Copeland, the drummer. Too bad guitarist Andy Summers' music never thrilled me as much somehow.
I have never owned the Celine Dion album listed at 45 and hopefully never will. Got to agree with at least one thing on the list.
67. Paula Cole--This Fire
"Ah, step by grueling step through Paula's therapy sessions. She's angry! She's repressed. She's angry! She's happy. She's outraged...(see track listing for sense of closure)." Heh. I don't disagree with a word of this and will mock Paula Cole's lyrics mercilessly (are we sure she's a native speaker of English?), but I do love the music.
90. Sting--Ten Summoner's Tales
"Next he'll be doing country-western, and I ain't buyin' it." Sting actually has done country-western music, you know, but it was in 7/4 time.
