That defines Marvin Gaye's legacy. Being the token black guy on the white band list. Got to love diversity.

On another note, this list is a hell of a lot better than most 'Best of' lists I've seen. No list is ever going to match any one persons personal liking 100% so there's no point in complaining about these things. At least it wasn't swamped with 5 albums a piece by the Beatles and Dylan
