"Electric Lady" by Con Funk Shun---the lyrics are so dumb plus,this sounds like a bad Cameo rip-off.

"Party Train" by The Gap Band---When they released this song,that's when I knew that they were running out of ideas.Previous hits like "Burn Rubber" and "You Dropped A Bomb On Me" were cleverly written and very edgy.But then they had to ruin their hot streak with this lame,formulaic track.This whole concept was better executed by Heatwave in 1978 ("The Groove Line").

OK, now you're gonna get slapped for listing those two.

Soul Alive is my dude but i agree i like these two songs too.

I dig the hell out of Party Train and whenever i saw the Gap Band in concert

this was always one of the songs that got the crowd going. With ConFunkShun i think

they wanted to get back to uptempo grooves after the Eumir Deodato penned songs

Baby, I'm Hooked and the tepid Don't Let Your Love Grow Cold which sounds like something

he forgot to give Kool & The Gang. I guess i liked the synths on Electric Lady and it was

something different for CFS at the time but it did sound too much like Cameo. The song

was the brainchild of Whodini's producer Larry Smith. The 12 inch version of Electric Lady

was killer. Electric Lady isn't one of my CFS essential songs to listen to but during it's time

it was fire. I actually dig She's A Star from Burnin Love a lot better with Cooper doing the

rap vocals on that one too.

I absolutely adore Stevie Wonder, but I hate "I Just Called To Say I Love You"!!!!!!! Hate, hate, hate....I've only seen Stevie in concert once and that damn song got one of the biggest - if not the biggest - responses of the show.

I told a guy I used to like Stevie was one of my favourites too along with Michael, he said he likes him too, then later quoted that song. Idiot. I do like that song cause it's the first I knew as a kid, but there is more to him than that.

Exactly. There is so much more and better music from Stevie. I saw him at a music festival so this wasn't necessarily a Stevie crowd. But damn...they should have known better. These weren't teenagers, these were grown-folk in the crowd.

Throw Have I Told You I Love You...(or whatever) in the mix too...that song is the syrup on a pancake.

I don't know if it's a Stevie song or that Rod song you're mentioning but yeah I guess we can.

Ugh, that song used to be my favorite. Now I shrug whenever I listen to it. They definitely had more material...
