SoulAlive said: ***"Freakshow On The Dancefloor" by the Bar Kays(1984)---I love the Bar Kays,but let's be honest.Too many of their songs sound just like other artists' songs! This song is a blatant rip-off of Midnight Star's superior "No Parking On The Dancefloor".Oddly enough,I think most of their other "copycat" singles are pretty good,but this is dreadful. What!!!!! | |

You can play every instrument, but you can only make great music 20% of the time I can't name one bad `80s Prince penned or produced song, as a solo act, for others, released or unreleased. what about Arms of Orion? | |

I never liked that song.I don't mind if a song is slighly "inspired" by another song,or has a slight similarity to another song ("Caribbean Queen" sounds alot like "Billie Jean",for example)...but the Bar Kays were flat-out stealing."Freakshow..." has the exactly same synth line as "No Parking",and it even has the same dancefloor theme.That's a no-no. | |

other crappy 80s R&B songs....
***"Secret Lovers" by Atlantic Starr (1985)---After years of excellent,soulful hits like "Let's Get Closer" and "Touch A Four-Leaf Clover",this wonderful band gave us the truly awful "Secret Lovers",which is corny,adult contemporary pop garbage. ***"Goldmine" by the Pointer Sisters (1986) ***"As Long As We're Together" by Al Green featuring Al B Sure (1988)---Without question,Al Green is one of the greatest soul artists of all time.But why,why,why did he have to jump on the New Jack Swing bandwagon?! This song is horrid. ***"Workin' Overtime" by Diana Ross (1988)---Damn,I hate the late 80s! Poor Diana felt that,she too,needed to do New Jack Swing. ***"Cash Money" by Sweet Obsession (1988)---After giving us a really good debut single ("I'm Gonna Get Over You"),this promising female trio sealed their fate with this stupid follow-up single.I have to admit,though,this song has one clever line: You might be cute,or you might be "funny" but all that doesn't matter if you haven't got the money  | |

My man Billy is from Trinidad so I can't totally hate on him despite the crappy music he made. His best song was "Nights (Feel Like Getting Down)" in 1981. | |

Krytonite said: TonyVanDam said: Are you kidding??? Heal The World, Earth Song, & Childhood are FAR worse than that (and anything else that Michael Jackson releases that sounds too much like We Are The World pt. 5, 6, 7, etc.)!  So nobody doesn't like any of Michael's positive songs? I'm just sick and tired of all that whining about "Let Save The World", "What About The Children", "I Can't Help Myself Because I Had No Childhood" bullshyt! 
Michael needs to be like Janet (RN-era) by making his point (...one time only) within the first 3 songs of the album and after that say "Get The Point? Good, Let's Dance"!! 
Stop trying to save a world that doesn't want to be save and start saving the dancefloor. [Edited 11/30/06 17:38pm] | |

Dynamite - Jermaine Jackson Whammy - One Way System of Survival - Earth, Wind & Fire D.Y.B.O - Starpoint Good, Bad & Ugly - Charlie Singleton ...And I was too hard on Billy Ocean - I also liked Syncopation by him. ...But I did detest When the Going Gets Tough. | |

I thought of one more Magnetic by Earthe Wind and Fire. I like the majority of their songs but that song was crappy. | |

SoulAlive said: more crappy 80s R&B songs...
***"Thinking About Your Love" by Skipworth and Turner (1985)---annoying and repetitive ***"Struck By You" by Bar Kays (1989)---longtime fans of this great funk band couldn't have been happy with this awful,over-synthesized,drum-machined piece of crap. ***"Headlines" by Midnight Star (1986)---It was sad to see many funk/R&B bands jumping on the hip-hop bandwagon in the late 80s. ***"Rumours" by Timex Social Club (1986)---I can't stand the "attitude" of the lead singer.He wasn't even a big star when he recorded this,and yet he's acting like he's Michael Jackson or Prince,with the paparazzi constantly following him around,lol. ***"Electric Lady" by Con Funk Shun (1985)---stupid song ***"Have You Had Your Love Today" by The Ojays (1989)---The Ojays are one of my favorite vocal groups,but this song is garbage.In the late 80s,I felt really sorry for many of my favorite 70s acts,who were suddenly forced to adapt to changing trends.I bet that even the Ojays themselves hate this song. I am one of the bigger barkays fans. I loved struck by you. Their biggest disappointment to me was the album banging the wall. Save the title track and your place or mine, the album was very un barkays like and a far cry from their 70's funk masterpieces. I liked the funk vibe electric lady have but i will agree it is by far one of their weaker songs. Also the song you named by the ojays while it was a great video to it, the song was very un ojay like. I guess the late great gerald levert just wanted to connect pops group to the changing trends in music. Don't laugh at my funk
This funk is a serious joint | |
