Tony! Toni! Toné! appreciation

I thought they were the best of the boys groups of the 90's. They had their own style in music and fashion.

Loved the fact they could write and arrange their own music and actually play instruments.

they were the best. Why did the break up? What are their latest projects?

What is your favorite?

My favorite single is It never rains in California... just a nice vibe and easy going rhythm. Just so cool.





my favorite album was Sons of Soul

That's my favorite CD by them too. My favorite song is "Aniversary". I sometimes wish that they would get back together, but you can't have everything...

Yeah the Tonys are the shit for sure but my jaw dropped when you labeled them a "boy band."

I guess they are boys and they are in a band but man,the TTT's were so far beyond 98 Degrees,'N Synch, NKOTB and The Backstreets that I don't know how you could mention them in the same breath. That's sacrilege to me.

House of Music was the pinnacle disc for me but it's all good. First thing I ever heard them do was I Don't Know What You Come to Do from the House Party soundtrack. I was hooked on the Tony's from the get go.

I wish Rafael would get off his high horse and agree to reunite. I've tasted everythign he's done since leaving the group ('cept the new retro-motown sounding disc) and have been disappointed every time.

I Tony! Toni! Tone! My favorite jam is "I've Been Thinking About You"

Thinking of You is da bomb alright.

There's a Maxi Single out there with 4 mixes and an alternate mix of Let's Get Down thrown in for good measure.

The best mix features samples of the horn charts from Al Green's Love and Happiness. It's killer.

my 1st time hearin 3t was this.....

So I got the name wrong! It's probably because I had that CD and some dipshit stole my car from the parking lot at the hospital where I was working. When the police found it, that was the only CD that was missing from my CD case! Where the hell were YOU on the night of August 15, 1997?

My favorite TTT joint would have to be "Lovin' You" from their classic House of Music album.




Anyway, I have every album TTT and Raphael Saddiq (as a solo artist) has released and I am proud to say that they have pleased my ears and music tastes for over 20 something years. Ever since that premiered in the late 80's, I knew that they were going to change the R&B game, but it's sad that the long awaited reunion will never happen. It was fun while it lasted.

Since we're on the Tonyies, how is this album?

Yeah, my favorite cut from them is probably "Baby Doll". My favorite album from them is Sons of Soul, with the cuts - "Slow Wine", "Anniversary", "My Ex-girlfriend", "Lay Your Head on My Pillow" and "If I Had No Loot". But yeah, they were the shit, the precursor to Neo Soul.

New World Order (NWO) - Bboy87 - Timmy84 - LittleBlueCorvette - MuthaFunka - phunkdaddy - Christopher: Deal with it, muthafuckas!

Jealousy/Of what are we/Becomes tendency/For their thievery

Hands down one of the best R&B soul groups to ever hit wax!!! This group will always be my top favorites list. And ya'll know I just adore Raphael Saadiq, but his brother DeWayne had a great solo album that came out about 8 years ago. They are all very talented.

I love almost all the songs off of all their albums, and I mean all 4 of them , but if I had to choose which one was my utlimate favorite, it would have to be:

3. My Ex-Girlfriend
4. Tell Me Mama
5. Leavin'
6. Slow Wine
7. Pillow, (Lay Your Head on My)
8. I Couldn't Keep It to Myself
9. Gangsta Groove
10. Tonyies! In the Wrong Key
11. Dance Hall
12. Times Square 2:30 A.M. - (Segue)
13. Fun
14. Anniversary
15. Castleers

Every damn song on here is my shit, ya heard me??!!!!

MissFee Got Her Own
"By lookin in her eyes
Knowin she can do for herself
Makes me wanna give her my wealth
Only kinda girl I want
Independent queen workin for her throne
I love her cause she got her own"

I love the Tonies! If I had to pick a favorite, with extreme apologies to "(Lay Your Head on My) Pillow" and "The Blues," I'd have to pick this one:

Whatever You Want

I love the T's. My fave album like everyone else is Sons Of Soul. The s**t! But, I do as well have my fave songs. No particular number so I'll just list them as I go along.

1. Anniversary
2. Lay Your Head(On My Pillow)
3. Thinking Of You
4. The Blues
5. My Ex Girlfriend
6. Little Walter
7. Feels Good

9. It Never Rains In Southern California
10. Loving You
11. Go All The Way
