Kind of admire her staying power. Not a fan but don't dislike her stuff like I do Madonna (save 'Frozen' and 'Ray of Light' - what sensational sounds those two tracks are)
1) Confide In Me - I bought the cassette single, yes. (1994)
2) Where The Wild Roses Grow - Nick Cave once wrote a short essay about her song 'Better The Devil You Know'. (1996)
Got stuck at 3 so checked out some songs. Not a lot grabbed me but these are good enough to complete the top five.
3) Stop me From Falling (2018)
4) Where is the Feeling? (1995)
5) Dancing (2018)
Not a lot else for me, I'm afraid.

I like some songs from Kylie Minogue though I was never a Stock, Aitken & Waterman pop fan growing up in the 1980s. I like her best when she performs insanely catchy numbers and works it on the dancefloor ("she likes to move it, move it").
I stopped listening to Madonna when she became a dance icon at the end of the 1990s. Have you heard her new album? Ive' read some rave reviews. She's become an underground dance commander in Portugal.

I've not properly heard anything from Madonna since those two songs I mentioned. I heard one called 'Music' (title?) but that's it. It's a bit unfair not to give her latest work a hearing but I honestly feel that there wouldn't be anything she could produce that would excite me. Yes, the SAW thing was a help to Minogue but produced some godawful stuff along the way. Confide In Me had nothing to do with SAW and you can hear how she has matured (quirky note : first time time I heard Confide In Me I could hear a part of The Doors' The End, that slow jangly guitar riff. It first appears at 01:45 in Kylie's video below and is heard almost immediately once The Doors' The End starts - or maybe I'm just hearing things that aren't there all these years) As I said, Nick Cave's essay 'The Secret Life of the Love Song includes one or two passages on 'Better The Devil You Know', and he does a great job of picking apart and finding depth in a lyric written by a hit factory conveyor belt. I have posted both videos with Kylie's riff at 01:45 and The Doors' right at the song's start.

I am mostly familiar with her music from the late 80s to the mid 90s.
She has some good songs.

I listened, thanks. When I first bought 'Paranoid Android' on cd, I thought I'd heard my generation's future being unfolded before my eyes and ears, in the era of dance in the U K (rock 'n' roll in the USA had already been "saved" by Nirvana and Pearl Jam). I also read that Radiohead used an unusual chord sequence for that song found in music by the Doors, where Robbie Krieger's fluid guitar lines were lit up by John Densmore's unpredictable jazz drumming. The music was far from over ...
