Re: Favourite album and why
I don't know, I would say that 10 is below par in comparison to the 9 before it and what Hugh went on to do in his solo career. I'd rank Wolf above 10 easily.

Just when I thought you couldn't get more controversial. I'd rank Wolf above 10 easily

Wolf is a great album funny enough i was listening to a few off that tonight "Another Kind of Love" still such a great song through headphones.StanInBlack wrote: ↑03 Feb 2023, 00:28 I don't know, I would say that 10 is below par in comparison to the 9 before it and what Hugh went on to do in his solo career.

But better than 10? .. i'd have to say that's a no from me as we all differ in tastes.
For me the Hugh sung songs from "10" are great songs but your right about "Wolf" being overall a great solo album from the main man agreed.

Outsold again by Un Jour Parfait. Wolf managed to get Hugh dropped from his Label. Funny Old World.toilerinblack wrote: ↑03 Feb 2023, 23:56Wolf is a great album funny enough i was listening to a few off that tonight "Another Kind of Love" still such a great song through headphones.StanInBlack wrote: ↑03 Feb 2023, 00:28 I don't know, I would say that 10 is below par in comparison to the 9 before it and what Hugh went on to do in his solo career.

Re: Favourite album and why
Covering different lineups,
Favourite Hugh era album, Black and White (and the best overall)
Of the albums featuring John Ellis it has to be Coup de Grace
My favourite Paul album is Norfolk Coast
And of the Baz ones it’s Suite 16

Then I got tired of counting all of these blessings, and then I just got tired.

Re: Favourite album and why
I don't really know how much Un Jour Parfait sold and honestly I've never cared to know. Anyway, it's irrelevant to me as Wolf is quite clearly the superior work, I feel. Superior songwriting, superior singing, superior musicianship etc.Cells&Plasma wrote: ↑04 Feb 2023, 01:28 Outsold again by Un Jour Parfait. Wolf managed to get Hugh dropped from his Label.

Re: Favourite album and why
For me, it's really simple. Pick any song off 10 at random, then pick any song off Wolf at random. Most of the time, for me the song from Wolf will beat the song from 10. Also, at least Wolf sounds like Hugh's heart was in it, 10 just feels like a band (and I include Hugh in this) dialling it in, which I guess the version as released actually is. Wolf also sounds better than 10, and it isn't hampered by having the Pavarotti-fest of "In this Place" on it.toilerinblack wrote: ↑03 Feb 2023, 23:56 But better than 10? .. i'd have to say that's a no from me as we all differ in tastes.

Re: Favourite album and why
Completely different thing. I'm commenting on the overall quality of one album vs. another as opposed to just pitting track one against track one, track two against track two etc. and adding up the "winners" that way which is completely NOT what I'm doing and actually is an awful way of comparing one album with another for a couple of different reasons.parasiteinblack wrote: ↑04 Feb 2023, 14:54but also:StanInBlack wrote: ↑04 Feb 2023, 11:53 For me, it's really simple.
