The four hundred and forty-first album: #441 Marianne Faithfull - Broken English

Marianne Faithfull's raspier voice is a bit at odds with the smooth vocals that I associate more with new wave, but it creates an edge that suits all of these songs quite well. Working Class Hero, for example, gains a lot more of an edge in her interpretation, and they get a lot more raw when she really goes for it - Why D'Ya Do It has such an angry edge that it gets quite shocking.
