Damn, how could I forget this stoned cold classic.... glad I did though... until you reminded me
Spice Girls ( just checking if you're paying attention still ).
There was tons of great stuff in that decade, as there is in every decade.
Ex:el - 808 State
Not in my top ten but I do like The Prodigy yes Mezzanine as you will have seen is in my top 10 but was swaying towards Blue Lines... We all love a bit of trip hop, tricky genre as it is
That's the spirit Ark, marked improvement over your 80's prefs
Absolutely don't get the national love in on George Michael... must be more to do with notoriety and media interest cos he was mediocre as a singer and songwriter!
Your opinion differs from many.
His concerts were fun.
Indeed, it differs from those with poor taste! There's a hell of a lot of people with less than zero taste who think Spice Girls, Kylie, Boys Own, Little Mix etc etc are just fab!
Women loved him, you know?Absolutely don't get the national love in on George Michael... must be more to do with notoriety and media interest cos he was mediocre as a singer and songwriter!

The The Soul Mining.
Take a few minutes out and listen to Giant, LOUD. My god what a track.
Brilliant, brilliant album - 80s though
Just playing Automatic for the People seriously for the first time in 15 years or so. (I love Out of Time too.) It's still brilliant but the production is very bright and splashy is my first impression...
Which ediion/mastering are you listening to? Are you streaming?
I am listening to the ripped 1992 CD and it sounds fine. Running it through Audacity and Spek doesn't indicate "brightness" either.
According to the Dynamic Range Database the Redbook remasters show some compression.
The best DR-wise are Blu-ray and DVD-A.
