Do you guys like Adele's music?

@cd318,  That Imelda May album is very different from her rockabillly/retro stuff.  It's really elegant.  I think someone big produced it like T Bone Burnett.

New time. Same story. Maria Callas, Nina Simone...

+1 on Imelda May “Flesh and Blood”. Ladies like her underrated, and under appreciated. No marketing machine behind her I guess. Only heard Adele once, did not care for it. I like female singers though. Joni, Sade, Dinah Washington, Aimee Mann, The Internet (Ego Death), Aretha, Sergio Mendes Brazil 66, Mamas & Pappas, Diunna Greenleaf, Supremes, etc., etc. 

I rank her right down there with Mariah, Whitney and the other shouters. The rest of the world can like her but I have not heard anything I would listen to again.

Adele style for me is grating although I do understand her commercial attraction.  I don't care for her voice, she has a strong voice however its irritating, on the other hand a singer like Shirley Bassey also has a strong voice but I do like its delivery and when she sang 'Gold Finger' it is peerless, in the lap of the gods!
