Melt The Guns is a turd of a song on an otherwise killer album - English Settlement. Skylarking is my favorite overall and Drums And Wires is probably my favorite of the new wave era

Well as an OG FAM it’s not surprising to disagree completely with half this list and nearly fully agree on the other half. Taste and context and expectations and age and even ethnicity and region all play factors. Respect either way. IMO 1978-1996 he’s the overall GOAT in music and I cannot think of another artist in the entirety of the rock and roll era who had a longer run at the top of the food chain in terms of talent and artistic high ground. Sales and popularity have zero to do with that. FAM are the most educated and diverse in terms of their grasp of modern music IMO. Cause that dude pushed you beyond any boundaries of what was supposed to be. He led me to artists in the 80s who I wouldn’t have discovered, like Cocteau Twins and Kate Bush. Let alone Santana, Zeppelin, Joni Mitchell and Miles Davis. I knew who they all were but never would’ve gone there. I grew up on Funk and soul and some 80s rock and hip hop. And he was mad stylin’, hysterical, fearless, unapologetic, free and talented AF. 💜💜💜♊️♊️♊️

Nice list. It's great to see Gold Experience so high up, as it's one of my favourites. I'm not sure if you've ever listened to the New Power Generation (NPG) albums, but they're essentially Prince albums in all but artist name. As you're a big fan of The Gold Experience, I can't stress enough that you really need to listen to the NPG album 'Exodus', which was made around the same time and has a similar vibe. You can find the full album on KZfaq.

Even though you're only lukewarm on the albums I respect your reviews. You treat the material fairly and it comes off honest. I'm a big fan but I agree not every track is a winner. Slowdive have a heavier sound live--I get just as much enjoyment from hearing live recordings as the albums. Just wanted to mention in case anyone is on the fence. Here's a good example of something that showcases their live sound: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e92eY9GFs9bQn30.html
