I'm not sure what my most listened to album of hers is, but for the last few years I've mostly been listening to 1995-2003. I have have songs that I love from all different albums, but lately I've been jamming to the singles from Sweet 19 Blues, Concentration 20, Genius 2000 and Style, plus one or two tracks from Break the Rules. If I'm at work, I'll listen to albums from start to finish sometimes. I think my most watched dvds from her at this point are Genius Tour 2000 and So Crazy ft Best Singles.
But she kind of seamed like an r&b kinda gal back in the day, at least from the stuff i've heard? That's one of the reasons why i just couldn't get into her. She hardly seemed to have any pop rock tracks, i maybe only know like 2..but it could be that i just didn't hear enough. I have to say though the other day i listened to a few of her old songs, and you can easily tell the time they were released, i don't think some of her stuff aged very well lol But maybe it's just me.

I can agree that her music became very POP/EDM and that's mostly all she did, but for some reason it worked with her vocals better to my ears and i like dramatic arrangements with a lot going on, so maybe that's why i got more comfortable with her music. I think Damage and Neonlight Lipstick are some of the coolest songs from her newer stuff. I have to say Damage is probably my favourite Namie song.
