How about starting with this one? Somewhat outside of her usual cannon and none the worse for it. Perhaps also a contender for the sexiest vocals ever?

Excuse me. I thought the post was about good covers of popular songs. Not albums that were neither. https://currycuts.bandcamp.com/track/i-wont-last-a-day-without-you |

@slaw , It’s actually quite difficult to define what pop is. For example what might have been considered popular back in the 1920s might not today. You’re not likely to hear Fats Waller, Bing Crosby, Jimmie Rodgers, Eddie Cantor of even Louis Armstrong much on the radio today. Then there’s the question of geography. I’ve little idea of what was popular in Germany or Mexico in the period 1950 to 2010. So maybe we could go with commercial (and potentially commercial) music recorded in the US and the UK between 1950 and 2010. Attempts at greater precision are likely to suffer the curse of academia as the fun quickly disappears into the spaces between the words. Keeping it simple as possible, here’s one of the greatest pop records cut in the past 30 years. I don’t know of anyone who doesn’t like this. Electrolyte by R.E.M https://youtu.be/1LewYq40Svw |
