i'm including greatest hits too



Stevie Wonder-Songs In The Key of Life
Sly & The Family Stone-Stand!(I consider it more soulful than funky)
Marvin Gaye-What's Going On
The Temptations-Greatest Hits Vol 1 & 2
The O'Jays-Back Stabbers
Isley Brothers-Essential Isley Brothers
Jamiroquai-Emergency on Planet Earth
Hall & Oates-Private Eyes(yes, i'm including Hall & Oates in this, and you can go **** yourself if you don't like it)
Michael Jackson-Off The Wall(MJ too)
Simply Red-Stars(them too)

but yeah, feel free to point and laugh while i go sulk in a corner
I mean Hall & Oates kinda sticks out like a sore thumb, not because they're not one of my guilty pleasures, which they are, but because they are pretty far removed from the soul genre. A lesser but similar argument could be made for Simply Red, but hey... Great list, actually.

idk, when i listened to that album, i felt that they retained some elements of the genre, at least i thought so. or maybe they're to soul what disco was to funk, i guess.


but yeah, anything else you'd reccomend me then?

Not off the top of my head but I definitely have some unrelated presents for your inbox.

Good choice. Every bit as important as 'What's Going On?'

Yeah, I think so anyway. As a bonus, a great title and album cover.

Well apart from the sleeve cover it was a landmark album. One of those albums in every genre that influences others for years to come.

Akira 07-31-2009 05:11 PM
The amount of samples used from this album alone is a testament to how influential it is.
