    Fields of gold is one of Sting's most pedestrian/boring compositions, a
    bit of elevator background music. It's not a typical Sting song, nothing interesting or cerebral about it. I feel the same way about Englishman
    in New York. McCartney would have injected real life into them with his
    style.

    Have not listened to most of Simon's work, but Graceleand is easily 1 of my top 5 albums - so many magical songs on that one.  I accept Dylan is widely respected, but he's not for me.

    Absolutely. You know it's a great piece of work when you're not even a
    big fan of the artist but they produce something so amazing you rate it
    in your personal top 5. I also have ACDC 'Back in Black', and I don't
    care much for their other work or metal music in general, but there's
    something quite perfect about that album. I'd have to think about the
    other 3 in my top 5, but I think I finally settled on Police's 'Ghost in
    the Machine' as their best work so that's in there : )

    Perhaps if we work hard we can come up with the definitive algorithm,
    like 7543, to see who's the best, once and for all.

    Yep, it's a test...

    The more Whisper posts about popular music of the last century, I'm more certain it isn't his game. Then again, I'm not sure tennis is either.
