CL's Favourite Albums: Blue vs Bridge Over Troubled Water

hmm, both are good albums but neither really are a favourite for me. I guess I'll go with Bridge over troubled water

Emma Thompson asked me to vote for Blue on her behalf ;-))

BOTW

Two great albums.

BOTW plays almost like a greatest hits. No weak tracks.

But unfortunately I can't stand the title track. Listening to Radio Luxembourg 208 under the covers in my dormitory aged 13 it was the Powerplay, meaning it got played every hour, and how long is it? 5 blinkin' minutes, and with the reception phasing in and out, it seemed like an eternity.

Blue I love.

But even so it's a very close call.

Blue by a short head.

15 - 10 in favour of Bridge Over Troubled Water so far (Not including Henry Irving's cheeky double vote). I'm sure there are more Joni fans here .

I went with BOTW but on another day I may have gone with Blue, it was that close.
So I asked myself which I had played most over the years and BOTW edged it.
Blue is not actually my favourite Joni album.

Fitting for Blue to lose, winning would betray the concept...

Philistines, the lot of you (with some exceptions - i.e. about 13 of us!).

It's all a matter of taste. I don't particularly like Joni's style of singing so except for a couple of tracks her music does nothing for me. It doesn't mean her music's not good, it's just not my thing so I'd have voted for S&G if I'd got here in time.
