Here's some more Carla Kihlstedt, although the music is somewhat different.
I could really see you digging this whole album.

So I finally got around to checking out those 4 Elton John albums and... this doesn't sound much like Judie Tzuke's early material at all! At least that's my take on it. You really need to take a closer listen if you think Tzuke was ever just aping Elton John, even having been mentored by him.

I'll go back to the original point you made several pages back or whenever it was: I don't see any inconsistent behavior in me being a big fan of Tzuke that doesn't particularly care for Toto or Elton John. I really don't. Apples & oranges...

EDIT: Although it should be made clear that I think Tzuke's first album is a somewhat different thing than her later albums. It's when she really found her stride that I think she's great. Still much I like about the first album, but it's far from her best imo

I just listened to the first 3 tracks of that album and it's not my cup of tea. Not really into 50's pop/rock. This stuff just doesn't click with me at all.
I don't know if the world needs more of this stuff, but apparently it does according to some people.

It's not poorly made, but for whatever reason, this is really one of my least favorite types of music that I can think of.

I know Goldfrapp. Not hugely into their stuff, but I've been considering giving them a second try when I feel like it.

Anyway, about the above track. Well... I tried. I find it difficult to put into words exactly how the sensibilities of this music misses what I'm into by a wide margin, but I'm just not really feeling it. One part reminded me of the soundtrack for the PS2 snow boarding game Dark Summit, so now I feel like booting that up. But sadly, my PS2 is in need of repairs.

I don't know... Orbital just don't really have much going on that I really click with. Some semi-neat things going on here and there, but I don't feel like exploring their music any further.

Sorry. They do seem to be a band that you like a lot. Are they top 10 or 20 material for you, even?

Listened to this one again and, no joke, it's total ****. I must have been out of my mind back when I actually liked this song every time it played on MTV. I even bought the whole miserable album! Absolute trash. I can't think of a worse nu metal thing right now. At least the way the riff and vocal track interlocks during the verse is a somewhat original idea, but it's also a terrible idea. **** past me for not killing this thing with fire on first sighting.

*groaning noises*

A large percentage of this is just dumb.
The only parts I don't hate are the low key, dirge like sections with howling horns and organs. The 80's pop part around the 11 minute mark with the singer that sounds like a Muppet is the worst thing I've heard since... the Clawfinger track above, I guess.

Sorry. I know I also hated on the Ayreon post. It's not about you, it's just that I hate this stuff :(

Now this is interesting. The lose sounding claps tambourine shakes sit surprisingly well with the tight, laid back electronic music. Actually, it's unclear to me exactly what elements are tracked and which are played live. The bass could be live, but I'm guessing everything has been sampled before assemblage.

It's got a cool vibe and progression. There's kind of a nu-jazz feeling to the music (apart from the percussion, that is), but I'm not sure what this would be classified as.

Either way, I find this to be a creative, beautiful and highly entertaining track.

Not top 10, I don't know if I'd say top 20 including all music, but they're probably my third favorite electronic artist after deadmau5 and Kraftwerk. Maybe your top 1000 songs will help me find some electronic music you'll like.

Now something completely different:
