Album 767: Tuesday Night Music Club
When I first heard All I Wanna Do I was irritated by how a fairly decent piece of slide guitar was ruined by Ms Crow whining about how 'everyone around here is boring, doesn't anyone wanna part-ay??'.
The album from which it came from continues in much the same vein. Decent musicianship and production covered by a drawl that, in varying degrees of unintelligibility, says nothing to me about my life. She could easily have been a candidate on American Idol.

Album 491: Kilimanjaro
Fairly standard early 80s English new wave, frequently marred by a nasty horn section. When they lose the horns, such as in Treason, they're ok; but no Echo and the Bunneymen.
Album 222: a coat of many colours
Considering I never wanted to listen to this album, it could have been worse. Predictable but inoffensive.
