feel like people should include Japanese Whispers on these rankings tbh. yeah its a compilation but its entirely non-album stuff and is an interesting period from them even if it's not one of my favorites. I'm taking it over The Top for sure

The Top is so f***ing bad man. Its insane

yeah avoid at all costs

one of those albums where I just throw a bunch of random songs on some times. even though I do listen to the whole thing a lot I feel like it's one of those albums where the order doesn't matter too much. and one of those albums that I'd recommend people to listen sometimes in chunks like that just to get over the length which is a hurdle for some. (another would be Beatles White album)

its still pretty good i think, and some interesting stuff on there

surprisingly not much filler despite being that many songs on it, i'd only cut like 5 songs

nah still good just not great like the rest

Yeah he's had bands with him at various points and those records usually end up sounding like Soft Boys.

I Often Dream of Trains isn't traditionally psych. It's a singer songwriter record but it's incredibly strange. The songwriting makes you feel like you're tripping and the beautiful way it starts and ends feels like the onset and come down of a psychedelic experience or lucid dream.

Nah, there's just some weird about that album. It feels almost cheesy at points and underdeveloped. 100% a transition album where robert didnt quite know what to do

Double Nickels on the Dime has some great song titles.

Political Song for Michael Jackson to Sing
Do You Want New Wave or Do You Want the Truth?
God Bows to Math
The Roar of the Masses Could Be Farts
Mr. Robot's Holy Orders

More "Reserved" posts from me

true but also I lowkey still feel like Head on the Door is part of that awkward transition for some of the songs. similar strain of creativity

I can't make those lists lmao

Someone mentioned them earlier but Wipers are so f***ing good man

This made me realize these years are missing from the discography that is my music pallet.

I need to listen to some projects from this time period

Thankfully I have recommendations now!

the one time where Rym helps massively

choosing between rain dogs vs swordfish almost ended me tho

it has more track rating consistency than wms, and i actually like that album llol

probably gonna do 2011-2015 or 1991-1995 next

I forgot 1999

Even RYM won't save me here

1. Sade - Promise
2. Sade - Diamond Life
3. The Cure - P***ography
4. Luther Vandross - Never Too Much
5. Whitney Houston - Whitney Houston (forgot this in my last list)

In a month i'll be ready for the 50s 60s and 70s list

surprised no one has put Dead Kennedys

Yeah I just went through my 5s and 4.5s with 1980s as the search term.
