22. Bob Geldof: ‘Sex, Age & Death’ – "If you thought the belligerent rocker has only been interested in saving planet earth is recent years, then think again. Just six years ago he released this album featuring a raunchy cover of a woman presumably riding on something… Despite glowing reviews, the album flopped and Sir Bob moved back into the ego-boosting world of politics."
Quite possibly the greatest accomplishment of Geldof's musical career. Recorded at the studio of Queen drummer Roger Taylor and Tricky producer, ex-Boomtown Rats and long time collaborator and friend Pete Briquette as producer. Sex, Age & Death sees Geldof exercise his emotional demons with songs of ruthless honesty, brimming with passion and emotion in an album of live and loss. 10 tracks including 'One For Me', '$6,000,000 Loser' and 'Pale White Girls'. (review from Amazon.com)
I actually like the album as well, the songs are well-structured and memorable; I also think it is one of his best.
