Top Ten Alison Moyet & Yazoo Albums
Similarly to my Annie Lennox & Eurythmics list, this one comprises both Alison Moyet's solo work and her tenure with synthpop band Yazoo. Alison is a very gifted singer, with an instantly recognizable voice once you've heard her. Her music, however, can be a bit hit or miss. Being pushed by labels for much of her career resulted in these more formulaic releases; but it can be said that just because an album has a formula does not mean it can't contain some good material, as is the case with her debut Alf. So without further explanation here is the list.
Standout tracks: "Right as Rain", "Remind Yourself", "Horizon Flame", and "Changeling."
Standout tracks: "Don't Go", "Only You", "Goodbye Seventies", "Tuesday" and "Bring Your Love Down (Didn't I)."
Standout tracks: "Should I Feel That It's Over", "Say It", "Ski" and "If You Don't Come Back to Me."
Standout tracks: "Reassuring Pinches", "Beautiful Gun" and "Happy Giddy."
Standout tracks: "Footsteps", "Hoodoo", "It Won't Be Long", "This House" and "Rise."

Standout tracks: "Nobody's Diary" and "Sweet Thing."
Standout tracks: "Alfie" and "The Man I Love." Honorable mention for "La Chanson des Vieux Amants" because Alison sounds so beautiful singing in French.
