Now I know lenny is a hotly debated topic on this board, and i admit om lukewarm on him.

But Mama Said & Are U Gonna Go My Way just kick ass
The other day i popped in Are You Gonna and when it got to "Come on and love me" i just totally lost it. i forgot what a raw groove that is. Yes it cam be compared to prince's style, but without getting into that whole mess, it's just a great song!

Just wanted to share

It's my favorite song on that album

Damn straight
often overlooked. the most straightforward rock song with no frills!

A lot of people love to diss Lenny, but I have always been a fan. I enjoy most of his work and he's not a bad musician either. I think he's had difficultly finding an audience seeing as he's a black man doing a lot of rock type songs. Although, he does have many good funky songs and lots of r&b stuff too, so I'm not really sure why so many people dislike him.

I think he's pretty cool.

Yeah as I said I'm generally impressed with his musical talent. But, as a lyricist, he's a bit too Dr Suess for me.

But his earlier stuff just grabs me and throws me all over the place!
even the slower, introspective, Mama Said stuff. Deep

I thought this was about the KISS song.

Lenny is overrated.

But I'm jealous of Lenny cause he gets the best poon around since Prince.
