The Following User Says Thank You to troutman For This Useful Post:
Despite the political/cultural and nostalgic significance, did anyone find the Beyonce and Bowie records listenable? Seems to me these albums were esteemed for reasons other than sounding good.
What does it say about me that I have only heard 3 of these songs?
Bowie-Lazarus Nick Cave-I Need You Leonard Cohen-You Want It Darker
