I once took a female singer home to dinner! Wow dei in this discussion is absurd. Do I have to count how many female singers I have in my library or excuse me singers with a high pitched voice . I liked Joni because her personal introspective songs were special not because I identified with them but because I could feel her pain. By the way my favorite album of hers was her live double album specifically the acoustic side. The lastime I saw richard is special. As to the stones I liked them but ultimately never bought their albums not sure why. Maybe because all their songs got so much airplay.
I don't get it...Exile on main Street-Blue
I love to listen to great podcast/interviews with great musicians. Last night i listened to Rick Beato interview Maynard from the great band Tool. Besides being a fantastic conversation, Maynard told Rick the two most influential albums for his music inspiration are Joni Mitchell Blue, and Black Sabbath's first self titled record.
I understand and love Black Sabbaths first record, but I have listened to JM Blue countless times and just don't understand what the hype is. Full disclosure I love female vocalists, and I also love Joni's Court and a Spark. With that said I have heard many musicians rave about Blue. Please enlighten me-what am I missing ?
The other head scratcher for me is Exile on Main Street by the Stones. Again I have heard many musicians rave about this double album. I don't get it... Beggars Banquet-Let it Bleed-Sticky Fingers are so much better in my opinion, but just like Blue, It seems like musicians much prefer Exile on Main Street.
I know its all subjective...but these are two records I have never learned to appreciate. Thoughts ?
