For one thing, this article insists on listing albums. Economically, culturally, and personally, women haven't had the access to making albums and have had more impact as singles artists. If you're not doing artist profiles but are promoting product, Greatest Hits collections should be included.

It took me forty years to realize how great the bass/drum interplay was on Heart's peak period (Little Queen to Bebe le Strange).

Doesn't opening the lens, getting more light in usually make focus easier? She probably needs to get closer to the subjects. Zoom is a focus killer.

Agreed on Close and Lithgow. The commitment these two bring to their characters is enjoyable, but then they always do commit.

Y'know, I can actually imagine Dolly's spin on China Blue from "Crimes of Passion."

That's because TV people live in a "When Harry Met Sally" world. Instead of the real one, like the one where they don't play hard-to-get with their generation's Meg Ryan.

Phil Spector production!

I'm surprised no one mentioned "Bridge Over Troubled Water," just so I could say, "Oh yeah? Larry Knechtel topped that the next year on Paul Simon's "Congratulations"!"

Er, I posted the same thing up above. "Kiauma" is everything Adam says it is.

I hope you're talking about that long spacey piano at the end of the song. Other-worldly.

Yep. My first answer to this question is "Isn't She Lovely" - verse after verse, and it never gets tired. If Stevie had never done anything except harmonica, he still would be a legend.

"Look at Me Now" is great. I've grown attached to "The Battle of Marston Moor (July 2nd 1644)" - it's comically lugubrious.

"Heart-searing" - well done! There are few rock songs which qualify as tragic, and this is one.

Gee, I didn't know that.

"The good guys won, Confederates. Get over it."

The last few times our family went it cost $4K per person for two weeks. We don't backpack; we stay in hotels, a few nights in Paris and/or Amsterdam then the rest in The Hague. Sometimes I get an employee discount, sometimes no. When we're in the big cities, we stay in boutique hotels in the middle of the action.

I put the "oui" in "weeeee"!
