All this time I thought Sade was a solo female artist. And I've always thought the same thing about Pet Shop Boys, madonnas. I need to go listen to them.
Black Celebration.
Can I ask why you wanted us to list our favorite song from each album in our PMs?
They're for the songs I'm putting on the posts/descriptions!
Tunnel of Love is the eighth studio album by Bruce Springsteen released in 1987.
In 1998, Q magazine readers voted Tunnel of Love the 91st greatest album of all time.
In 1989, the album was ranked #25 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the "100 greatest albums of the 1980s". In 2003, the same magazine ranked it at number 475 on their list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
The only Bruce album I've heard in full is Born to Run... I like a few singles from this one though.
#8 - I Am Music, Katamari
#14 - VPM
#15 - andresg770

Songs from the Big Chair is the second album by the British rock band Tears for Fears. It was released in 1985 on Phonogram Records, and remains their highest selling album to date. The album peaked at #2 in the UK (where it remained in the Top 10 for over six months and in the Top 40 for over a year) and reached #1 (for five weeks) in the US. It contained a string of international hit singles, including: "Mothers Talk", "Shout", "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" and "Head Over Heels".
My mom is a huge fan and I've probably heard all the songs from this album at one point or another. Shout is my favorite. Their hair on the cover is also ****ing awful.
Tracy Chapman is the self-titled debut album by singer-songwriter Tracy Chapman, released on April 5, 1988 by Elektra Records. The album was recorded all in Hollywood, California. In 1987, Chapman was discovered by fellow Tufts University student Brian Koppelman. He offered to show her talent to his father, who owned a successful publishing company, however she did not consider. However, after multiple performances, Koppelman found a demo tape of her singing her single "Talkin' Bout a Revolution", where he took it to radio stations, and was eventually signed to Elektra Records.
Through the production of the album, many producers turned down Chapman as they did not favor her musical direction. However, David Kershenbaum wanted to produce the studio album and songs, as he has always wanted to record acoustic music. The album was recorded all in Hollywood, California within only eight weeks of recording. Most of the writing is based on political and social causes.
I've only heard one song from this album tbh. It's good tough, and this is the first album with 5 voters, with most of them being in the lower half but still.
The album's title was inspired by Arthur Koestler's The Roots of Coincidence, which mentions Carl Jung's theory of synchronicity. Sting was an avid reader of Koestler, and also named Ghost in the Machine after one of his works.
The album marked a significant reduction in the reggae influences that were a part of the band's first four records, instead featuring production-heavy textures and liberal use of synthesizers that, at times, drove entire songs ("Synchronicity I," "Wrapped Around Your Finger"). The influence of world music can also be heard in songs such as "Tea in the Sahara" and "Walking in Your Footsteps."
Never been a huge Sting fan, so whatever. I don't mind it being here though.
And I've always thought the same thing about Pet Shop Boys, madonnas. I need to go listen to them.
for Tears for Fears.
