  • - will reminds me of a slightly eccentric, snarky uncle. i think he is rad
  • Every album is different and hard to predict.

    They always deliver live.

    There's a sense of real creativity with each album campaign...
    E.g. the website setups, the single slipcases, Alisons drawings on the merch, series of imaginative remixes, a voice that sounds dreamy, powerful, pretty and sensual. A series of killer singles.

    Oh and a nice fanbase :)
  • Her vocal inflection above everything , it sounds a smidgen teutonic to me , a proper Alpine Princess

  • I'll just say

    HOORAY FOR THIS THREAD!!! for now....

    Nice one, Ping!

    I'll get back here at some point.

  • Well, okay, let me take it in snippets.

    I'm going to start off-target a little (does that surprise anyone?).  Alison.  I just adore her.  It wasn't the reason I came to this site, initially, it was all and only the music (which I'll get into later, if I feel a need to bump) but, Omigod, the Lady is special.  I think everyone realizes she's a pretty cerebral Lady who really doesn't care to put herself out there but, even so, she puts on a staggeringly good show.  And, yet, she has her limits.  In today's world, there is an easy formula to get to the top, if you have the slightest bit of musical talent.  Just be outrageous.  Some may disagree but I date it back to Alice Cooper.  Anyways, while she is willing to put on a show as it is surely part of ... the show!  She's not willing to go all outrageous and do silly stuff just for the sake of the press.  She's got heart and she has dignitiy that's not for sale.  I respect that tremendously.

    You see? That's why I came back quickly.  Otherwise, I realized, I would have texted out of the limit for number of characters for a post if I had waited long enough to make a list.  ;)

  • the way the music lifts you, the way it becomes a soundtrack for your life.
    then when you leave for a while, its always there, like an old friend.
    beguiling.
    A light in the gloom, a beacon that guides.
