Where it all began... The legendary Mariah Carey ♥.
Visions of Love is a national treasure and inspired so many vocalists it's unreal. Love all her hits of this album. Classy. Talented. Regal

I’m listening/compiling/sending now!
This is another album where I like every song, so a bottom ranking isn’t a diss.

Well, this will be a hard one since I like most every song on the debut, but I am definitely in. Hmm...what's my #1? I'm not sure!
*edit, submitted.
I have no idea how my ranking will line up with others, mostly because I'm probably one of the few here who is old enough to remember it coming out. I was young enough that I wasn't fully paying attention to music yet, but I ended up taking notice of Mariah when Someday came out. I saw the video and was kinda bopping to it, and then the whistle note at the end happened and I was like WTF is THIS?! I was basically hooked from then on.
Anyway, I ranked them according to how they've held up for me through the years. I have a few album tracks that I love, despite the production being rather dated and late 80s sounding.

the production being rather dated and late 80s sounding. I love how some of the songs sound like they belong in a late 80s/early 90s movie - especially the intro to All In Your Mind. |

Gave this a refresher listen today. Really solid album. Was only really conflicting in the ranking of two songs in the lower half. My top 5 were solid and untouchable.

It's obviously one of her most 'dated' albums in that it sounds very of its time, but 'dated' almost never bothers me. The general songcraft at work on the album is Motown-ish and excellent. For the most part she actually hasn't done that kind of writing since then (on specific songs, yes, but not across an album). The album obviously produced 4 #1 singles, but I swear there are 3-4 other songs that could have been picked as singles and gone to #1, too. I really want her damn demo to leak so we can hear the demo versions of some of these songs, as well as those unreleased tracks that are probably top-notch in their writing and vocal. |

"Vision of Love" should have won Record of the Year that year over "Another Day in Paradise," and this debut album should have won Album of the Year over Quincy Jones. This album was clearly the class of that field. It's crazy because just a few years later it would become common for solo females who won Best New Artist to also won another major category the same year (see Sheryl Crow, Lauryn Hill, Alicia Keys, Norah Jones, Amy Winehouse).

Due dates in the subject line help because this one slipped off my radar! Plan to do it though.
