A highlight on what is a very patchy album.

 

I'm not sure I'd particularly say it is at odds with the rest of the album, given it's such a mish-mash of sounds and styles anyway.

Time for another entry :D

There's a feeling that's surrounding

23. Always Find The Time - 7.75


#24 is Always Find The Time, which features on Kylie's 3rd studio album "Rhythm of Love". Written and produced by Stock Aitken and Waterman, lyrically its about Kylie's dedication and love for a partner. The song has been perfomed on 3 of Kylie's tours; the first appearance was on her 'Rhythm of Love Tour', then again for the 'Let's Get To It' tour which was a continuation of the previous tour. The most recent performance was on her 'Anti Tour' in 2012 which was apart of Kylie's 25 years in the music industry.

A great track with infectious dance beats and fantastic vocals as she definitely seems more at ease and relaxed with each recording session for this album. This funky number is definitely one of the many highlights on 'ROL' and just an all round fun bop.

Have always loved always find the time, it's real upbeat and catchy.

Agreed that Time Will Pass You By would have made a great 4th single in the summer of 1995 had Where is the Feeling been released earlier. It harks back to her poppy PWL days without feeling like a regression.

 

I think the Body Language era was great as it was for singles but it is interesting to consider how Secret (Take You Home) would have faired as a single. I’m not too sure the rap would have been as well received by the general public as it is with fans.

 

Drunk, Dangerous Game, Always Find the Time and Made in Heaven are all fantastic - the latter is one of the best of her debut era and I’d definitely have had it as a single.

Close your eyes so you can see

22. Love Affair - 7.791


#22 is Love Affair, which features on Kylie's 8th studio album "Fever". The song was written by Kylie, Richard Stannard and Julian Gallagher, whilst production was handled by the latter two. The song blends dance-pop and disco elements and has become a fan-favourite over the years, despite feeling like it was relatively ignored or over-shadowed by the singles upon the album's release.

A cracking gem on the magnificent 'Fever' album with its sophisicated yet well crafted production & Kylie's vocals at her seductive best. The song also combines other elements such as electro pop with trance like inflections that's perfectly placed on the album & even compliments tracks like 'In Your Eyes'. Just a brilliant offering through and through, so glad it made it to the final round on here.

A key highlight of Fever, kind of kills me it has never once been performed live! :(

Yes I’m really shocked about this! Not even on the Anti Tour. Strange considering it was revealed as Kylie’s best selling album track.

 

I think it’s great, sort of a similar vibe to In Your Eyes with that hard dance sound.

I do like love affair, brilliant album track but always preferred fragile and the title track itself to it.

Love Affair been excluded from the Anti Tour highlights the need for Anti Tour part 2.

Can't stop replaying the words you said

21. Sleeping With The Enemy - 7.791 (more high scores)


Just missing the top 20 by half a point at =21 is Sleeping With The Enemy which featured on the deluxe edition of Kylie's 12th studio album "Kiss Me Once", as well as the last from that era to feature here. The song was written by Claude Kelly & Greg Kurstin, with production by the latter. Despite the album's mixed reviews, this track recieved a postive reception from both fans & crtics, with many wondering why it wasn't included on the standard edition of the album, despite being deemed as one of the best tracks on the otherwise uneven album.

I think we can all agree that the 'Kiss Me Once' era was one of Kylie's worst eras, with bad decisions made throughout & a few lacklustre album tracks that should have probably been left on the cutting room floor. However this hauntingly beautiful number was a fantastic addition to the album (even if it was only a bonus track), but more than worthy of being included properly. The dark and brooding lyrics paints a very clear picture of what the song's all about & Kylie's vocals are both mesmerizing and touching set against the racy drum beat of this stunning epic number, that's quite possibly one of her most interesting songs she's ever recorded. Shame it wasn't on a better album.

Here's a re-cap of the results #21-#30:

21. Sleeping With The Enemy - 7.791 (More High Scores)
22. Love Affair - 7.791
23. Always Find The Time - 7.75
24. I Guess I Like It Like That - 7.708
25. Cupid Boy - 7.666
26. Dangerous Game - 7.583
27. Made In Heaven - 7.5
28. Drunk - 7.458
29. Secret (Take You Home) - 7.375
30. Time Will Pass You By - 7.333



Here's a reminder of how songs each era has got left, 5 are out of the running with 9 still imaking it to the top 20.

Kylie - 0/3
Enjoy Yourself - 2/3
Rhythm of Love - 1/3
Let's Get To It - 0/3
KM'94 - 0/4
Impossible Princess - 3/4
Light Years - 3/3
Fever - 2/3
Body Language - 0/3
X - 2/3
Aphrodite - 2/3
Kiss Me Once - 0/3
Golden - 2/3
Disco - 3/3


As you can see only 'Light Years' & 'Disco' still have all their songs left in the countdown, & 'Impossible Princess' also still has 3 out of the 4 tracks left in the top 20. The only era that's in danger is 'Rhythm of Love' which only has 1 song left, but for how long?

I'm surprised there is only one song left from Rhythm of Love and no surprise about light years and disco. Really happy 2 enjoy yourself songs have made the final 20.

Cupid Boy is No.25 only? :huh:

I'm surprised there is only one song left from Rhythm of Love and no surprise about light years and disco. Really happy 2 enjoy yourself songs have made the final 20.

 

Rhythm of Love is one of her strongest albums I think as a complete piece, but I feel like a lot of the other album tracks across her other albums dwarf those.

 

She's just too good and raises the bar so impossibly high that's it's hard to lose brilliant tracks at this point.

In the shadows swim with daydreams

20. Mighty Rivers - 7.833


Kicking off the top 20 is Mighty Rivers, which was included as an iTunes bonus track on the deluxe edition of Kylie's 11th studio album "Aphrodite". Written and produced by Xenomania, the song came to fruition during the album's early recording sessions, when the album was aimed more towards organic pop, but didn't make it final tracklisting when the direction changed, only as a iTunes bonus track. The track was included onto the setlist of her 'Anti Tour' in 2012 which focused on b-sides, rarities and demos. This tour was launched during the celebrations for K25.

Yet another lost gem in Kylie's discography that SHOULD have at leats made the album, instead of 'Better Than Today', in my opinion & could have easily fitted in without sticking out like a sore thumb (like BTT). Well anyway the song is glorious as it kicks off with crashing waves and silnky synths before heading into a electro/pop disco number & lyrically talks about Kylie's inner strength & battling cancer, which gives a nice personal touch to this catchy little bop. Overall it's just a great track that should at least be on Spotify (come on guys).

Beautiful song :wub:

The next to drop will be from the 90's decade, any guesses?

I would have never predicted mighty rivers making the final 20 back at the start of all this.

Ready for another entry!!!!!
