"That bitch goes crazy. Oh my god, she’s so dope, bro. She has an album that’s 15 songs, and the album is 15 minutes long. Every single song is exactly a minute long. That’s genius. It’s like, when I listen to music, I never listen past a minute, like ever, it’s like a thing. People hate it about me, but it’s true. So with her stuff, it’s like you play it all, and there you have it"

Album Favorite

"I know that out of all the Michael Jackson albums, you could say Thriller or Off The Wall, depending on who you are. But this was the first Michael Jackson album that I had and listened to religiously. I had the white cassette tape. I played it everyday. I played ‘Man In The Mirror’ out. My favorite song was ‘Dirty Diana.’ I just have great memories of that album and that’s how I became a Michael Jackson fan."

Rolling Stone's 456th greatest album of all time (493rd in the 2020 list)

A nice but unusual collection of soul songs by Marvin Gaye. Anna's Song is a great typical soul song, but the likes of Funky Space Reincarnation are as odd as the name suggests. I think to get the most out of this album you need to ingest similar things to what Gaye must have done in writing and recording it! No classics but good listening.

Rolling Stone's 426th greatest album of all time

An incredibly atmospheric live album (Cheap Trick really seem to have been massive in Japan, like Beatlemania level), including "I Want You to Want Me" and a number of other foot-stomping rock and roll songs. One nice little Easter Egg was discovering that the speaking at the end of "I Want You to Want Me" was sampled to introduce "Jimmy James" by the Beastie Boys on Check Your Head.

Ross (3284 KP) rated Anthology by The Temptations Motown in Music

May 11, 2020

Rolling Stone's 400th greatest album of all time

Great best of the Temptations. A number of true soul classics (full disclosure: I don't know who sang what between the Temptations, Four Tops and Drifters) including My Girl, I'm Gonna Make You Love Me and the superb Get Ready. As with the Supremes anthology, however, there is a little too much filler to justify the double album. A great listen with some disco tracks at the end.
