Stevie Wonder working with Paisley Park would be the bomb! A dream come true here.
I think Stevie would have a lot to say on many levels when it comes to what's happening in the world.

Jodeci YES! Although K-Ci & JoJo material hasn't always inspired with DeVante back at the helm the reunion album could be nice. Been waiting on it like the Stevie one though. Maybe both are lacking the good material needed to impact...

the two bands that come immediately to mind are:

A Tribe Called Quest
Smashing Pumpkins

I didn't get into the pumpkins until after they broke up, now I regret missing them.

steve arrington of slave, ray parker jr. andre cymone stevie wonder ttd

Smokie Robinson
Little Richard
James Brown
Blonde
Earth Wind and Fire

Off the top of my head, Sly Stone. If ever he comes out of his shell with this music he's been stockpiling. I'd like 2 hear whats been lurking in his mind all these years.

Supertramp
Fleedwood Mack
The Police
Elvis Presly but then again, he is dead (can't stop me from wishing though)
Cindy Lauper
Kate Bush
Culture Club

Karyn White
Alexander O'Neal
New Edition
Johnny Gill
Teena Marie
Lisa Stansfield
Anita Baker
Prince
El Debarge

Billy Lawrence - two beautiful albums that were criminally overlooked: One Might Say (1993) and Paradise (1997). I miss her and I want more music by her. She was last heard doing background vocals for Blaque's 2000 hit "Bring It All To Me."

Anita Baker - I know you're a mom and you got the kids and hubby at home, but you gotta bless us with another quiet storm gem.

Rachelle Ferrell - Beautiful voice, I want more work from her. Yeah, I know about the "Individuality" record.

Sade - No more 8 year breaks, I was in elementary school when Love Deluxe came out and I was in college when Lovers Rock came out. I don't want to be married with kids when your next record drops!

NO NO NO!
Saw the Eurythmics, ruined a memory
Saw Blondie, thought they were CUTE.
Comeback are for has beens.
Even though I REALLY like some of these choices (been Eurythmics and Blondie admirer since, well, EVER) some things are better in the past.
Like Prince.

GOOEY IS GLOOMY

Jane's Addiction (original lineup)
The Police

Dee lite.



Looking over the lists, the mentioned ones were good ones. Cyndi Lauper, Lisa Stanfield, Diggable Planets, and A tribe called quest. They were among my favorites a little some time ago.

Smokey released a new CD last year called "Intimate".James Brown is always in some kinda trouble with the law...lol...but I wouldn't rule out a new album from him.Blondie actually made a comeback CD a few years ago.Earth Wind and Fire are STILL working on a new CD,but at this point,I doubt that it will ever be released (they've been working on it since 1999!!).

"Peace" was a fantastic album, in my opinion. I can't wait for more!

miles davis
but i doubt it'll happen, because he's dead.

A new Time and/or Morris Day album with Prince at the helm really needs to be released soon. Pandemonium came out in '90 and nuttin' since...??

Also, I'd like to see GMichael and TTD make a comeback but they both seem to be stuck in a rut of some sort getting their tunes out to the masses.

Tears For Fears (new album due next year!)
The Cranberries
Good Question!

Jane's Addiction! (with ONLY the original line-up)

Cyndi Lauper (I think her music has improved sooo much over the years, it's too bad it's mainly ignored...)

The Smiths (Morrissey SUCKS alone, and since 'they' seem to put out a "new" cd every year-Best of Smiths volume 18-they could at least give us some new tracks)

The Stone Roses (one of the most important albums of my youth, all turned to shite over industry politics and arrogance)

The Wonderstuff (some of THE BEST guitar-pop of the 90s... where have ye been???)

Paula Abdul!

Al B. Sure! Whatever happen to him?

vgallo6 said:

Al B. Sure now works for a local radio station (KISS-FM 98.1) in the Bay Area.He has his own Sunday night show called "The Secret Garden" which plays love songs.I saw him back in June at a Brothers Johnson concert.

Guns 'N' Roses
Soundgarden
Pixies/Breeders
George Michael
The Runaways

I really wish Anita Baker would come back!
I just finished listening to her album...
So emotional!!!
Where are you, Nita, Girl???
COME BACK!...please?

SensualMelody...here is a cut and paste from my post a few months ago...talking about the holdup on Anita's latest album.



Anita Baker actually had an album complete a couple of years ago. However tape equipments she rented from Zomba Recording Company was defective and it messed up her studio tapes from the recording sessions. She filed a $200,000 law suit against the company. She said she paid out a total of $500,000 for the tape equipment, to hire musicians, producers and songwriters. That's the last I heard about her. She was planning to go back and rerecord the album over again using her same personnel.

Yes, she is a marvel of a talent. I LOVE HER!!! She is a rather jazzy vocalist with similiarities to another great vocalist, the late great Sarah Vaughan.In fact, The Divine One influenced Baker greatly. I like all of her albums. Remember in 1990, she presented LIL MAN with a special award on the American Music Awards. Funny when he came out and accepted the award, him and her were standing side by side...about the same height.

I thought "Rules" from her album "Giving You The Best That I Got" should have been released as a single. Stellar song with nice arrangements (nice vocal arrangements too with Anita suppling great background vocals to her own lead vocals. COMPOSITIONS was very nice too. The sound quality on the vinyl version is awesome for this album.
