Compiled from 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die - Fifty Years of Music from 1955 to 2004. 

Is this the worst 1001 Albums poll so far with two utter 1-star stinkers included, or am I just Out of Step with the times? Oh well, I'll just have to Let It Be, seeing as there's only a couple of albums for me to Treasure in this poll. I can promise it does get marginally better in Part 2 of the 1984 polls though. Smile

Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

Sade's first album Diamond Life is excellent - a real band too, not just a singer with hired hands

The following year's Promise was also good, but too samey and the surprise was gone.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Thanks. I'll keep them coming until I run out of albums in 2004. Smile

Cocteau Twins' Treasure is a treasured by me album.

I haven't listened to Sade's album in a long time, but I always liked it. Maybe still more than the Frankie Goes to Hollywood, which also has some strong material (and which I've revisited not long ago).

Ummm... hmmm... I used to own that Van Halen album when I was a teenager. My whys have the physiology of my whats and that doesn't make them dododoxes.

I can relate to Van Halen. I get up, and nothing gets me down. Ah, might as well Jump!
