Since I'm gonna be pretty busy for the next week or so, let's wrap this round up now, especially since we have a very clear winner. TM is gone, Let's Dance survived.

And now for round five.

Black Tie White Noise (1993)
The Buddha of Suburbia (1993)
Outside (1995)
Earthling (1997)
Hours… (1999)


Vote one off till the end of next week.

Pleased Let's Dance won.

Played all of this latest batch last month. As I suspected that God awful album Black Tie White Noise (his worst IMO) would be up here. Trouble finding a single in this as I recall, the bouncy 'Jump They Say' sufficed in its mediocrity.

I like the 'Buddha...' soundtrack, some decent tunes on there and I reckon the other three albums will be hard to single out.

Anyway, off goes BTWN for me. Utter sh!te.

Voting off Hours. Hope Outside wins this!

I'll go with Black Tie White Noise.
I was thinking of voting off 'hours...', but that one has some actually quite good songs on the second half that I think elevates it a little above BTWN.

I'll be honest. I've only listened to these about two times all the way through. I will revisit and vote before the cut off point.
