Up For The Downstroke - Parliament

Up For The Downstroke was not Parliament's debut album.
Their debut was Osmium...

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.

The Way I Feel - Remy Shand


By the way what happened to him? No music since this album...


I created a thread on this question a year ago, didn't get much info. What a waste of talent if he only does one album and calls it quits. Maybe he's like D'Angelo. He'll take take ten years to do a follow up album. lol

By the way two albums for the list are:

Brown Sugar - D'Angelo
Baduizm - Erykah Badu (Special mention the her song Rim Job ... 'scuse me Rim Shot") lol

Exactly. I dont get why people exclude them. I mean why aren't they considered "proper"? He was still with The Jacksons after Off The Wall and Thriller and they're still counted. It doesn't make sense.

I think the label dropped him because they did not know how to market him.

Shit ... all they had to do was release his albums. They'd market themselves, he made some good music as opposed to what was being made then and what is being passed off as music the4se days.

Remember, at that time there was this guy called Jon B. and De'angelo was doing that stuff as well. Motown, was not really doing too well so I guess they did not wanna take a chance. I have Remy's CD and it was good it was also uneven.

Jon B. I put in the same category as Robin Thicke. They didn't and don't impress me. I also have Remy's album and although I don't play each and every song, overall it was much better than any of Jon B's outputs.

I would have to disagree. I really like Robin, he unlike Remy has put out consistent albums.Yes, I know that Remy only put out one album, but while he was talented, the material was inconsistent. Robin's material has been more consistent.
