This is an entry in a continuing series I call Critical Consensus. I am averaging the opinions of several excellent music critics to produce a list of each artist's albums. The albums will each have a rating between 1 and 10. The albums will be listed in a recommended purchasing order, so new fans will have an idea of where the best place to start buying an artist's work is. These are not my opinions, although, since I have chosen the critics used (and I'm using many), my taste will perhaps seep through a bit.
Terribly nerdy, I know, but maybe this will help people only now beginning to dabble into certain artists' bodies of work.
Am I the only person who liked Batman? My man hated that soundtrack. I guess your critics agree. That's cool, we all have our guilty pleasures.
Batman's reputation has slipped even further; checking out my NewCC on Prince (a newer version of this list), I notice that Batman has an even lower rating now.
But hey, I certainly don't always agree with the critics. These are just one group of folk's opinions, after all. :)
Shalom, y'all!
