In a way, none of Joni's work is really overrated. I think she's very underrated in every way and I'm sure many of you would agree. But I didn't mean for anyone to think that something is not of good quality because you label it as overrated. I figured I'd ask the easy underrated question...and throw in the tough question as well. If you've got one side, you might as well have the other. But like I said, perhaps the "overrated" question is not good for Joni's music as she's not so mainstream or whatever you want to refer to it as. Ah well, to each his own - -Monika ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 23 Apr 2007 23:00:13 +0100 From: "Azeem Ali Khan" Subject: Re: Most underrated/overrated album Well, I think it's a perfectly valid question Moni! And I would answer that, in my opinion, Turbulent Indigo is vastly overrated - oh, and don't get me started on Travelogue, but I don't really count that as a bona fide album anyway [dons flak jacket]. Not so sure about underrated, but when it comes to the general perception, rather than we Joniphiles, I'd say probably For the Roses, Don Juan or Mingus are the least lauded. And finally, Court and Spark is right up there and deserves all the praise it gets, except any that says it's better than Hejira, Blue of Hissing!

I'll be sending my payment tomorrow and waiting for it to come in after that. I checked the music stores I usually go to this past weekend and couldn't find the album so as a last resort, I turned to the net. I know there was a discussion here on the album not too long ago but.....that was then and soon I'll be more familiar with the album so discussing song x or y will mean something more. So, what are your favorite tracks from the album? What are some things I should keep in mind when listening? I've heard "Dreamland" (Though is it the exact track from the album? I'll see soon enough) and "Jericho" from MOA. Are those good representative songs of the album in general? What sort of feel does it have (I've looked it up in the library archives already and on Amazon but a fresh perspective is always welcome)? Is this the album with the 16 minute or so long song? Is that Paprika Plains? - -Monika ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 23 Apr 2007 19:54:58 -0700 (PDT) From: Michael Flaherty Subject: Re: DJRD soon to come Motitan@aol.com wrote: >>>>Is this the album with the 16 minute or so long song? Is that Paprika Plains? - -Monika Yes, and that's a standout, but the whole album is incredible. Some wonderful playing by Jaco, Don Alias, et al, inventive music and lyrics by Joni, just a really great work. If the first playing doesn't grab you, don't give up. It's an album that tends to grow on you. Michael Flaherty - --------------------------------- Ahhh...imagining that irresistible "new car" smell? Check outnew cars at Yahoo!

Ironically, when I was taking piano lessons, "Clouds" was one of the easiest Joni songs for me to learn (not that I ever played it well, mind you).
