At least half of those are classics.

(I like the Caught Up era Millie, but I’m afraid the “toilet sleeve” album is for hard-core fans and Moono only.)

Just checked my Millie albums and the last one I bought was Still Caught Up.

Like her live album though.

I remember a previous thread on here where even the most ardent anti-pop merchants in our midst agreed 80's music was quite good in comparison to the absolute crap they are serving up now. I'm one of them.

You can list anything and I'll agree it is better than the current shit.

Quite.

Prince was the one genuine talent to emerge.

Different Drum, By Linda Ronstadt is a great song, covered brilliantly by Susana Hoffs as well, but not as good, Hoffs is one sexy lady.
