Insanely great album... She did this song on Letterman and made a big blip on my musical radar ever since.

well, the eustachian tubes of the ears do have a direct link to the nasal passages...so, yeah, i guess her "stuck in the nose" voice can be sexy if your ears are blocked |

Aimee Mann has the sexiest voice in modern day music.

Perhaps Aimee should do what the song title says. Very boring tune. |

This has just enough atmosphere and energy to keep me liking her. Usually she just plods along...I like this whole album!

That about sums it up for me, too. Ms. Mann writes some interesting stuff, but I cannot go long with that nasal twang. But whadda I know? I'm a big Neil Young fan, so go figger. |

One of my favorite Aimee Mann songs. If it were up to me, this one would get played more often.

A little out of touch with Aimee, eh? :-) That's the beauty of RP, you'll be listening to this along with some folks who are her biggest fans. |

I agree with you completely, she is a singer with smooth and luxurios voice. |

Aimee's just one of those love her or hate her artists.
I'm in the former camp.  |

I couldn't do a steady diet of Aimee but her music was a very nice match in the context of "Magnolia."
Fairly poignant for me actually...but I don't load my Shuffle full of her stuff to hit the slopes with!

Ugh.
I'm the only person I know who can't stand listening to her. One of my friends said she could listen to her sing the phone book. I think I'd prefer that over listening to her sing her songs, but not at all is better.
LMAO Ditto that. |

I like some Aimee Mann, but to me this just sounds like boilerplate faux Anne Murray or something. Over-produced and fake sounding. Poor use of her neat voice.

Well, I should clarify that while I think Barry Manilow is really good, I don't listen to him, because I don't like the style of music so much. But I used it as an example of being really good at something I'm just not interested in.
I agree with you about Lucinda Williams. I think she's great. At the same time, I really only enjoy one or two songs at a time. |

I recently heard Barry Manilow for the first time since I was a child. As the quintessential singer that everyone things sucks, I was surprised by how very good he is. I think it's what he's doing that people object to rather than his performance.
