Had never listened to Sheryl Crow really. Thought she might be surprisingly good. I was wrong! Dull & dreary.

 

Glad to have gotten the worst ablum out of the way.

I hope you at least gave "If It Makes You Happy" a good score.

Okay lemme actually start this, please keep tagging me!! @madonnas

 

also 1997 is gonna be a hard one to narrow down to five albums. Have you already decided on which you’ll use? There’s so many options, Björk, Mariah, Erykah, Shania, Missy, Janet, Celine…

@madonnas, can you clarify? Are we just rating the album version?

So, Mariah and Janet (along with Kylie) were a part of a rate that will be redone.

 

@madonnas is free to use any of the other women you named! Plus any of the girl groups that released that year (All Saints, Destiny's Child, En Vogue, Eternal, Spice Girls, SWV)...

The funny part?

Sheryl was the ONLY artist to make the 96 Pazz & Jop poll - and the only artist to not make today's Pitchfork best of the 90s poll. 

 

How music criticism can change in 26 years, man. Whew!

I will separate them, since the single version is such an important song in her career.

Well uhh the Sheryl album....has some pleasant songs, sounds like it's great for a nice road trip nap in the car. Or a couple of them could've made for some nice Spongebob soundtracks or something

i actually didn't LOVE any of these albums tbh, they were all quite middling with similar highs and lows. i think if i had to choose my fav it would be Fiona.

I didn't mind the album at all actually! I like the sound/genre. Just sometimes I didn't like her singing or her voice it's not the most pleasant or colorful to me :skull:. Her and Tori having opposite reactions from me, one I wanted a little more life in her singing and the other I needed to be quiet sometimes

 

Also wow songs were so long back then huh, the average song length here has to be 5 minutes at least

Me fighting every urge to just pan every 6 minute long whispering groaning crooning piano song and give every track with a harpsichord and a beat a 7
