Kylie: The Complete Discography Rate - Part. 1 The Albums+ (RESULTS! 2nd place & WINNER!)
- Thread starter P'NutButter
- Start date
After finally being reunited with my bf 3 weeks ago after over 3 months apart I've not really been on here much at all but as I'm now on night shift, over the last 3 nights I've caught up on about 40 pages! There's far too much to comment on so I'll comment on the 2 10's I've just lost.
If I Can't Have You - My favourite of all the 7 Garibay songs, it's just euphoric and one of my absolute favourite recent Kylie songs.
Je Ne Sais Pas Pourquoi - I've always loved this song but after seeing it performed at Glastonbury my love was heightened for it, and then seeing this and Never Too Late at the SBIT summer concert have just made me love gem both so much more.

I used to stan Taio Cruz back in the day during his Departure era, but his music did become really generic after his debut. I would've been here for a Kylie × Taio collaboration if it was more along the lines with "She's Like A Star" and less like "Higher."
Like @WhatKindOfKylie?, I'm surprised that "I Don't Need Anyone" was considered as a possible lead single for Impossible Princess; Deconstruction were really keen on having a Manic Street Preachers track as the lead single, weren't they?
"Too Much" should've made the Top 100, in my opinion. I know that most people are disappointed by it because it doesn't meet expectations considering the talent involved, but I love it; it should've been the third single from Aphrodite.
"If I Can't Have You" should've made the Top 50. It's such a bop. I really wish that it'd appeared on a mainline project because I genuinely feel like it's so slept on.
I quite like "Jump," but as lead single? I don't see that for her.
I'd never heard the demo version of "No More Rain" before and I assumed that I'd prefer it, but it didn't really do it for me either. I feel like "No More Rain" could've been a good track if it had an entire production overhaul.

I've seen this one mentioned recently...

@mrdonut - 10 A gorgeous sad banger ahead of its time (‘time-time-time’) with S/A/W dishing out some wonderfully bittersweet lyrics. I remember at the time of release, despite being a young kid, that this is when Kylie felt more than a one-trick-pony/budgie. Even my brothers who were into U2 (!) agreed.
@hawkings24 - 9 One of my favourite PWL singles by far, I was so glad she brought it back for Summer 2019.
@Hudweiser - 9 My favourite international single from the album.
@nanafan - 8 Classy. SAW do French, again. Kylie’s acting in the first bit of the video is iconic. “It is af past siiiix”, love it.
@Andsov - 8 Kylie - crying at the disco since 1988.
@CasperFan - 8 I thought this was an odd choice of single at the time but it was nice to have a more downtempo song as a single and this still sounds great today. Glad it had a long overdue live performance last year.
@Maki - 8 I was interested after seeing the French title. Definitely feels a bit more mature than the majority of the album, which is a plus. The verses are lovely, although there's something odd with the chorus that I can't explain... sounds like it lacks something. Anyways, it's a great song.
@M24 - 7 I like the verses a lot, but the chorus drags the song down: I personally expect more from it after the "I-I.. I'm wondering why" buildup!
.
If I had it my way this would've swapped places with It's No Secret. My least favorite single from the debut.
No. Enough of the (what's left of it!!) PWL cull already!!
No More Rain, is a real highlight from X for me. The version on The Kylie Show was fab and she looked great too.
Fair enough, I don;t think even Kylie herself like it after all! Personally, have always found it quite a fun bop and adore everything about it. From the song itself, to the hot pink single artwork, and the music video too.
Shocked.mp3 that it is still here teebs.

@hawkings24 - 10 One of my favourite PWL songs, another one I'm glad that made an appearance in the Golden Tour.
@Andsov - 10 It's low-key one of her best PWL efforts. I will never tire of this song.
@CasperFan - 9.5 Often neglected (thank you Golden Tour) loved it at the time, nice change of sound with the more laid back drums etc. Cracking song!
@nanafan - 9 A great record. Great to see it shine in the Golden Tour as it’s a favourite. There is a terrible edit in the Your Thang Mix though.
@M24 - 9 Wonderful love song. For the lyrics alone, I think it has the edge over "Hand On Your Heart" in my scores.
@Maki - 7.5 Another PWL Kylie the numbers at the surface. However, there's something sophisticated in the chorus which makes it stand out a bit. Very pleasant song, but not a standout.
@mrdonut - 7 I’m more positive about this than most people because at least for once S/A/W sort-of tried a different drum effect.
@Hudweiser - 7 The very first single I ever bought myself. It's No Secret' was the b-side, which irked 10-year-old me as I already had that. Curiously, I don't like it so much anymore.
@Verandi - 1.5 I would.
@Untouchable Ace - 5 Offensively inoffensive.

The PWL era is going to be done so wrong, isn't it?
Looking at what's left this is going to be a bloodbath, there's mostly only strong songs left.

Scream!
Amazingly, I see this as the weakest 80's Kylie single, but I've grown much more fond of it lately, am sure would have given it a higher score now than I initially did (6).
Still laugh at this picture -
What were they thinking with this photo-shoot?!Still laugh at this picture -

Outrageous ... at least it made the top 100, this almost got my 11 as well
