Jonny, I've tried a couple albums, they're fine but I wasn't too worried about keeping them. Washed Away is his crowning achievement for me and I'm kewl with that!
I have enjoyed the Lost soundtracks they did put out.
But no pop songs, just a traditional score.
No idea if she's your thing or the one single was a fluke, but the Lady GaGa album is out now and positively blew me away, so I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone interested. I was literally slack-jawed at how good it was. I'm a fan of hers, but this time I really didn't know what to expect and feared it'd be too weird and experimental even for her. Turns out, it could actually be the best album I've ever heard...
*E*
