I don't get it...Exile on main Street-Blue

Music touch us so deep precisely because it is in a way unique for each of us and personal...

It is why there is no unanimous jazz album that do it for eveyone , the same is true in classical music or in sitar ragas interpretation ...

We all recognized geniuses unanimously but we differ between us about the impact of this or this musicians...

Why Chet Baker is so important for me and Bill Evans way over other names ?

It is not right or wrong just they speak as language akin to my own soul more easy to understand ..

😊

I don’t get Blue either and I love Joni Mitchell.  For the Roses, Court and Spark, The Hissing of Summer Lawns, Hejira and Don Juan’s Reckless Daughter are all outstanding and get a lot of play on my system.  Maybe I need to revisit Blue, but it’s just never clicked.  Exile on Main Street is a great album but would tend to agree with you that Beggars Banquet, Let it Bleed, and Sticky Fingers are better imo.

I was...I love both Joni and the Stones. The above mentioned records were far from their best in my opinion. The point of my post is that countless times I hear an interview with a great musician...these two records are often mentioned as their inspiration to make great music.

I'm certainly not saying their wrong... I'm just saying I missed the boat on both of these iconic records.

@tylermunns not sure how any of the OPs opinions are sexist.  Differentiating male and female vocals is not sexist.  The average vocal range of the two is different.  Noting the difference is not the same as saying men sing better than women.  And in this case saying that you like female vocals has nothing to do with being sexist.  Liking female vocalists is no different than saying I like the saxophone.  Neither is a genre but certainly valid non-sexist statements.
