FAVORITE COMMODORES ALBUM Picking a favorite commodore album is like picking your favorite
foods. I am currently listening to the Hot On the Tracks cd. I love girl i think the world about you(yeoww), High on Sunshine Just to be close to you,come inside,fancy dancer(yeoww) Lionel had that yeoww thing down back then. I also like the caught in the act album with this is your life and slippery when wet. Of course their self title album with zoom, brick house,easy,funny feeling,and squeeze the fruit was probably their most successful. I liked the midnight magic album, heroes,and in the pocket but those were not quite as good as machine gun all the way up to their self title album. Don't laugh at my funk
This funk is a serious joint | |

The self-titled album from 1977 is their masterpiece,followed closely by 'Hot On The Tracks'. | |

I like Machine Gun It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.

I don't have any Commodores albums except a greatest hits collection and the "Live" album. I love that "Live" album from start to finish though.

Machine Gun. There are three sides to every story. My side, your side, and the truth. And no one is lying. Memories shared serve each one differently | |

This is my second favorite Commodores album.Released in the summer of 1976,this album is jam-packed.The opening track "Let's Get Started" really brings the funk! The mellow midtempo jam "Girl I Think The World About You" is excellent!!!!! This great song could have been a single.The next track "High On Sunshine" almost was a single,but Motown chose another amazing track instead,the stunning"Just To Be Close To You".Four incredible songs right there! But wait,the guys are just getting started.This album also contains the funky hit single "Fancy Dancer" and "Come Inside",another funk gem. In many ways,this album paved the way for their ultimate masterpiece....the self-titled album from 1977 containing the classics "Brick House","Easy" and "Zoom". | |

Thanks StarMon...OK I'm not trying to start anything but it's weird that Ronald and Lionel weren't photographed together...(bad blood?)..William King still looks the same. | |
