I agree with 1999 being that best of 82. And that's saying something because 1982 was just sick! Bringing Together Five Decades of R&B/Funk/Soul/Dance

thesexofit said: Anxiety said: jill? Yep. And no i dont like it much. I seem to like "my man" best, though no one else ever evens mentions that song. i love EVERY SINGLE SONG on that album. "my man" is good. i like that sound in the song that sounds like a washing machine or something, that sloshy sloshy drum program thing. that's cool. | |

Sounds like soemthing robbie nevil would use? I see what u mean with the washing machine. Infact, that also reminds me of the blade runner score (vangelis?) [Edited 9/14/05 15:46pm] | |

Something tells me one of those is 1980. Yeah, as much as I liked that album, I think there were better releases that year: London Calling, Dirty Mind, Get Happy, The Pretenders The Specials, Sound Affects, and so forth. NEW WAVE FOREVER: SLAVE TO THE WAVE FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE. | |
