Re: Unacclaimed IV FINAL FOUR

1. Amadou & Mariam-Je Pense a Toi vs. 2. Mylene Farmer-Sans Logique

Amadou & Mariam clearly tower above the rest for me.

I agree about the consistency of these late rounds of the game. Very difficult to make a prediction. In fact, the best thing is not having any clear favorite.

Re: Večernji list: 101 albums for a desert island (Croatia, 2008)

Great list. Many of my favorite albums are in it, but the best of all is seeing those recomended albums from the Balkans. Will check them later.
Curious that almost all of them are from 1980-81. That period must be kind of a golden age for their music.

I don't agree with the word "always", but I believe mental problems must be more prevalent among geniuses than on the general population. People who view the world in a diferent way have a greater chance of discovering/creating things nobody else would.
