It's a shining example of an excellent cover. I love Total Respect Of Other People.

Yes. They did an amazing job with this song. I think that entire album is grossly underrated.

I was loving this cd back in high school.

Troop has one of the greatest "stories" in band history.
Unable to find a record company to sign them and with no money to make a demo, these guys went on an '80s show called "Putti'n on the Hits", a very hokey nationwide lip synk (no way I spelled that right) competition and took first prize. $10,000! Took the money... made a demo...got signed!!!
Talk about "love fot the game"!
P.S. Thier version of "Sweet November", best cover EVER.

"All I Do Is Think Of You" by Troop and "Two Occassions" by The Deele are two of my favorite mid-tempo jams in the 80s.

I bought Troops stuff only for Chuckii!!




.

this was definitely the jam.

i would too bein that Chuckii's albums are out of print. Troop would be the closest u could get 2 it....

Well, I don't think it's "Respect" or "I Heard It Through the Grapevine." That being said, I think it is one of those rare covers that's better than the original.

Hell.
Fucking.
No.


Sorry....Troop's version of this song SUCKS CRUSTY ASS.


NO ONE will EVER come close to the Jackson 5's original. NO ONE. EVER.

My favorite TROOP song is "Spread My Wings" That's the jam.

It was cookie cutter. Now Spread My Wings is a different story.

Well, I'm a huge J5 fan. They know all about the whole cover-better-than-the-original thing (I prefer their "Who's Lovin' You" and "Stand!"). Still, I like the Troop version of AIDITOY better.
