![[Image: 220px-Spice_Girls_-_Spice.png]](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/0/01/Spice_Girls_-_Spice.png/220px-Spice_Girls_-_Spice.png) SPICE GIRLS "spice" 1996 borrowed from a friend their debut of three, had no idea they released a third one! everything you would expect, fun pop with a couple of ballads thrown in the mix... I LIKE THIS ALBUM best for me is the annoyingly catchy debut single

Aussie Kylie's third studio album of sixteen... first one i have ever heard as i am not really a fan but i do own several singles of hers... non UK'ers and Aussies would probably be unaware of just how popular she was back in the day where in both countries between 1987 and 2000 she was on par sales wise with Madonna, she just could not put a foot wrong in either country. anyway, like i said, a first album listen of hers by me and it was everything i expected, dance orientated pop music, totally innocent, inoffensive and simple. lets just say i did not dislike it but neither did i like it, it is what it is. the lead off single:

Francoise Hardy - La Question - 1971
![[Image: 220px-La_question.png]](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/4/4c/La_question.png/220px-La_question.png) Every now and then I like listening to Francoise Hardy - preferably singing in French. Not that I understand a whole lot - it just sounds nice and that's all I want to hear. No frills - a songstress without any pretension and a decent voice. Kinda soothing. Once in a while is enough though - just for something completely removed from my regular choices! Ms Hardy herself is proud of this album and I can see why. Occasionally, when a song really catches my ear, I will look up the lyrics and Google translate them ...

Aussie pop starlett who rivalled the popularity of Madonna in Australia, Europe and Asia between 87 and 2010... gotta say i really like the cover art, possibly the best ive seen from one of her releases considering im not a fan... i only recognised four of the fourteen tracks, three of which were good, the other one i love, of the remainder i didnt care for them at all. never a fan, and this does not change my opinion... I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM her best by far and it is a huge earworm...

I LIKE THIS ALBUM it is hard not to pick the one i have known and loved for several decades.

![[Image: 220px-OdessaBeeGees.jpg]](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/4/41/OdessaBeeGees.jpg/220px-OdessaBeeGees.jpg) BEE GEES "odessa" vinyl 1969 their sixth studio album... a double album... wasnt highly regarded upon release but now highly respected... project started off as a concept album but fizzled out very quickly... stress and pressures in the studio during recording actually caused a riff between Robin and Barry with Robin leaving the trio for a short period of time... tracks are folkie and country flavoured for the most part but remain in the pop genre regardless... album was so good that i listened to this twice in a row earlier today. I LOVE THIS ALBUM the incredible opening track which sums up the whole mood of the album:

I LOVE THIS ALBUM love the energy of the late Bobby Farrell in this clip:
