    Speaking of Dylan, "Blood On The tracks" gets my vote as
    his masterpiece. Many's the time I've mentally hummed a few
    bars of 'Idiot Wind' while dealing with unpleasant folks.
    Helps maintain the outer tranquility :-)

    	Ya know, I listen to a lot of records being a dj.  But, 
    	my favorites are the ones that compliment my inner reality 
    	and stand the 'test of time' (IMHO) as being vital to my 
    	living energy.  I can always look to music as a new 
    	threshold, that compliments my life, when I realize that 
    	it has matched my inner vision I adopt it.

          It's George Michael's latest, revealing a versatility of non-
          radio-ripe singing styles I never credited him with having.

          Favorite on the LP goes to song #2,  "Freedom, 90".  The lyrics
          are about non-possession of lovers with a catchy background
          rhythm.

          A close runner-up is song #4, "Something to Save", mostly because
          I find it's use of a violin(?) intruiging in a soft-rock song.

          #3, "They Won't Go When I Go" has a chorus which reminds me of a
          Baptist church on a Sunday morning in the deep South.

          #9, "Soul Free", causes me to want to find a dance club.  I also
          like the really high notes he reaches when singing, "when you
          touch me baby". On the down side, this song has the most static
          in its first 5 seconds that I've ever heard on a CD.

                                             nancy b.
