Top 5 On Friday - Week 138

From Music Memoirs


Top 5 albums that you would recommend to all your fellow memers and why.

The Clientele - God Save The Clientele



Nat recommended this one to me and after hearing it...you need to hear it as well. If you need further proof of this album's goodness listen to Bookshop Casanova

A Fine Frenzy - One Cell In The Sea



There's been a lot of fuss over this album and for good reason. Alison Sudol has a fantastic voice I'm particularly fond of the song Almost Lover

Gordon Lightfoot - A Painter Passing Through


Gordon Lightfoot's recording has been sparse since the 80's. This is one of his last albums, released in 1998. Though his voice isn't as strong as it was in the 70's, the songs are still gorgeous, especially the title track and his homage to Toronto, On Yonge Street.

Toby Lightman - Bird On A Wire



I'm always excited to hear female singers that don't capitalize on slutty but rather on the music. Toby's one of them. Yay for people keeping their clothes on.

Erasure - Light At The End Of The World


One of the best Erasure albums in ages. If you like Synthpop, new wave or any other 80's band of the Duran Duran-ish sort of sound...You'll love this. Sunday Girl makes me so very happy.
