The jams were a non-start for me I'm afraid and I love Chic so much.

I agree with this. The first three are clear in that order, with a defined gap to 4 and 5 which could possibly swap - but there's little between the pair of them.

DD&B is definitely the most "Blondie" of any of them albeit with a late 80s flair. It is produced by Mike Chapman, so that makes sense.
I enjoy the Debravation singles plus "Rain" and "Dog Star Girl". The rest is pretty forgettable but serviceable. Necessary Evil is just drab "Two Times Blue" aside and way too long.

I feel the same way about Nicki Minaj the same way Ag feels about Taylor.
In this case, I haven't been able to separate the artist from their art. While Taylor just comes across as calculated, cold, and cynical, Nicki comes across as rude, aggressive, and unnecessarily bitchy and that's part of what makes me avoid most of her stuff. Even though she's been called out by dozens of people and also she has proven to be a bad person, she still is apparently "the best female rapper in history"
I see her being awarded all the time by all these music magazines and critics but bar a couple of gay club bangers I can't give her my full attention.
Also, Drake is another example where he showed a bit of promise when he just showed up about 12 years ago and it's just been diminishing returns with him and his music. How on Earth do you manage to be more and more successful with each passing year when your music becomes progressively WORSE?

Lorde. My goodness, talk being utterly uninteresting, despite being promoted as otherwise.

That one goes without saying.
Though honestly, I do like only TWO songs from him that's hardly considered stanning isn't it? Besides, Lay It All On Me is more of a Rudimental song than Ed's.
