Bob rated: > Good Friends (an OK pop song)C+
Gotta give that one at least an A- and love the sentiments there. > Fiction (Much too busy lyrically)F Oh no. A+++. And the busy-ness of the lyrics is what makes it so grand. > The Three Great Stimulants (solid Joni, literate & pensive) A- Agree on that one. > Tax Free (Preachy rhetorical lyrics, anti-melodic) F A+++. Can't beat this one. Don't find it preachy at all. As a matter of fact, seems anti-preachy to me. Guess one could see it either way. > Smokin' (Empty, Try Another) (A novelty throwawy, coulda been a contender and some funky bass work) C- A+ Love it just the way it is. A keeper with me. > Dog Eat Dog (Great song, weak production)A A+ Think they said it just the way it should have been said. > Shiny Toys (Good production (for what it was), weak song)D This one I didn't like. F. > Ethiopia (Beautiful and so sad) A A+++ > Impossible Dreamer (ditto but a bit more hopeful) A A++++ Can't improve on perfection. > Lucky Girl (another OK pop song)C B+ Nothing wrong with pop. Too bad she won't go trendy for a flavor or the month again. mack
