Music isn't about who has the smartest or most unique collection. It is about finding and listening to what you want to hear. Enjoyment is at the heart of it. No right or wrong answers.

It's difficult to listen to original albums by Piaf or Rodrigues: compilations are probably the best way to have a go at what they did, and we don't get much compilations in charts around here. Can is very appreciated around here, as are all things kraut. Plus, if you want diversity, you could have picked better examples than the archetypical Piaf and Rodrigues.

You may be right that Amalia Rodriguez is archetypical, but I haven't seen her name mentioned here one single time.

Probably not, because she technically can't feature in the "best albums ever", as she wasn't an "album" artist, but she still is Portugal's best known singer.

Never heard of both. I'll give her a listen though. What other artists were signed to Portugal?
