Top 500 Albums – Page 2

Donde Estan Los Ladrones by Shakira

496/500

If you’d have told me, a week ago, that I’d be listening to a Shakira album I’d have laughed at you.

However, as this is in position 496 of the Top 500 Albums as decided by Rolling Stone magazine, it has entered my ears.

And you know what? Even though I don’t understand a word (it being in Spanish) it’s actually been an enjoyable listen.

I guess when an artist has an annoying pop song hit (as Shikira did with Wherever, whenever) it’s easy to disgard their entire career.

Not a bad listen though.

Favourite Songs:

Moscas en la Casa
Que Vuelvas

I didn’t understand a word on the album. But that didn’t matter.

I enjoyed it a lot. It became great background music to work to.

I don’t think my leg stopped tapping from start to finish.

This album was okay to my ears. Some of the repetitive parts got a little boring for me.

No disrespect — just not really my bag, this one. Maybe I’ll try a re-listen in the future.

Ive never been a huge R&B fan, but what I have heard (mostly from top list recommendations) I’ve enjoyed.

And this album goes to the top of those. Wow.

I loved the whole album, but the final song, “Egyptian Song” just blew me away.

Favourite Songs:

At Midnight (My Love Will Lift You Up)
Hollywood
Egyptian Song

Starting back on the Rolling Stone top 500 albums listing. Why not. At number 500 there is Funeral by Arcade Fire.

This is already one of my favourite albums so is a nice start to the chart.
