We've had a pretty good run since that Wild Beasts travesty. Sure we will get something whacky on Wednesday because I poked the bear.

Pretty hot take but Music is the first album in Madonna’s discography that just does nothing from me. Her run from her debut to “Ray of Light” are all 8s or 9s but then I get to this one and I just can’t get into it. I just listened to it an hour ago and I barely remember what I heard. After “Ray of Light”, “Confessions” is her only other really good album, the rest are bad or meh (I have a soft spot for “Hard Candy” but I’m not gonna pretend like it’s good lol)

Aoife O’Donovan - Plays Nebraska
Just got done spinning the Boss’s version for the generator thread:
The Official Needles and Grooves 1001 Album Generator Project
I’d really like to know what lots of people think about this… off the top of my head it would be interesting to hear from @duke86fan @Kris @mcherry @nolalady @Yer Ol' Uncle D @TenderLovingKiller® I may think of others later. An interesting thought (that I don’t agree with), Riki Rachtman says...www.needlesandgrooves.com
One of my favorite singers covering one of my favorite songwriter’s masterpiece (personally I like and listen to Born to Run more).

I May give the Adams version a listen later because I’m morbidly curious.

Don’t forget Steve Earle’s Guitar Town era cover of “State Trooper” if you’re working your way through Nebraska covers.
Also, if we are talking Nebraska covers, I had this CD back in the day and enjoyed it a great deal…

Johnny Cash has done Johnny 99, Highway Patrolman, and State Trooper. There’s a part of me that thinks he had probably done the whole thing and I could cobble it together, that’s a rabbit hole I don’t have the time for today!Don’t forget Steve Earle’s Guitar Town era cover of “State Trooper” if you’re working your way through Nebraska covers.

I'd really like a vinyl pressing of this.

There’s a part of me that would like to see old Bruce smacking his forehead when the nonsense over the Wenner book broke.

I tend to avoid movie soundtrack stuff In general so I haven’t listened to that “Evita” or “Who’s That Girl” outside of a few songs

I love “I’m Breathless,” but even with a gun to my head, I would not call it good. Also, it’s a fun listen.

Yeah, Madonna's greatest hits collections is an amazing comps in their own right but the other reason those are important is that they are an easy way to collect a lot of those non-album and soundtrack singles.

Before I got into her my favorite song was “Into the Groove” so I was pretty disappointed that it was a non album cut. I was shocked in general how many songs I knew from her were non album cuts

This is the toddler’s favorite song. I am in the market for a European second pressing of Like a Virgin as a result.

Right! I feel like she was included on so many popular film soundtracks in the 80s/90s and everyone became a hit single with a music video in heavy rotation on MTV.

I’m a huge Springsteen fan and have been ever since I was a kid borrowing my sisters’ Live 75/85 box set. I can’t really rate this objectively since it is so engraved in my whole's being. I love Nebraska, naturally, but I might still rate the other four albums in his incredible run from 75-84 higher than it (yes, even BITUSA). And if you count the outtakes from these years there’s even a couple more solid albums between them.
With that said Highway Patrolman is a perfect country song, and with lyrics rich enough to inspire a great movie (The Indian Runner).
And yep, whole album is a masterpiece
Score: 5

Nebraska is a 5 for me for sure.
It's pretty much a perfect album, despite being the absolute worst Springsteen album to listen to in a car (those whoops are bound to cause an accident when you've got the system so cranked for the quiet vocals, then they come in all piercing and sudden.) Releasing the 4-tracks instead of re-recording with the band was a masterstroke. A masterclass in atmosphere.
This was the Springsteen album I loved before I loved Springsteen. I wouldn't say it's my favourite these days, but that's just a testament to how incredible The Boss's peak run was.
