Best Jermaine Jackson album? [img:$uid]http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/_/23108559/Jermaine+Jackson+76_Motown1.jpg[/img:$uid]
Les't stop bashin Jermaine for a little (or at least just for this topic ) and let's talk about his music. From 1972 to 1991, he released 13 albums (and at least three that were shelved at the last minute.) Some sold better than others, some went platinum, even multi-platinum, some went gold and one didn't even chart, but they all had gems on them (even the one that didn't chart, it may have had one of his more beautiful recordings in "Castles of Sands".)
72 Jermaine 73 Come Into My Life 76 My Name Is Jermaine 77 Feel The Fire 78 Frontiers 79 Let's Get Serious 80 Jermaine 81 I Like Your Style 82 Let Me Tickle Your Fancy 84 Jermaine Jackson 86 Precious Moments 89 Don't Take It Personel 91 You Said
his first single released in 72
his last single from 1992 [Edited 7/11/11 20:49pm] PRINCE: Always and Forever

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

Ranking them might be a challenge, haha. I don't have every album of his as they're so difficult to find on CD, but I especially love the Let's Get Serious (1979) to Dynamite/Jermaine Jackson (1984) period. But even all of the albums around them, I quite like. So yeah... LGS gets my vote I guess, if I have to choose. | |

Some of Jermaine's albums have never made it to CD, and they're all out of print now (at least in the US). You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

Nope, that's the album where Arista was really trying to "cross over" Jermaine, the material on that album is too pop for my taste LBC. [Edited 7/12/11 23:17pm] | |

Here's some non-album songs. You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

My favourits are Jermaine, Jermaine, My Name Is Jermaine and Jermain Jackson. As for favourtite...I can't decide between Jermaine and Jermaine ‘You don’t understand — if I’m not there to receive these ideas, God might give them to Prince.’ | |

I can see Jermaine in an A&R meeting back in the day with all the execs discussing a future title for his project.
Exec: So Jermaine, came up with any title yet? ["another exec is crossing his fingers hoping he won't choose Jermaine again!"]
Jermaine: Alright, I been thinkinh of this one all last night ... JERMAINE JACKSON!! huh, huh?
Exec: But you already have 3 records with "Jermaine" in the title?
Jermaine: Had 3, had ... now I got four. See whene I'm at with mine.
Exec: Whatever nigha, just make us some money.
Jermaine: I beg your pardon?
Exec: Huh, I said great choice, go get em pal ... PRINCE: Always and Forever

Exec under his breath 'that muthafucka has 3 albums called Jermaine in the time it takes one of Michaels singles to get out the muthafuckin top ten'. ‘You don’t understand — if I’m not there to receive these ideas, God might give them to Prince.’ | |

^^Diana Ross has more than one album called "Diana" and "Ross". The Gap Band has two self titled LP's and Peter Gabriel has 3 or 4 self titled albums.

More songs not on Jermaine's albums. You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

His next 1 can be called Simply Germaine for his European fans. I swear they always spell it Germaine over here. | |

I don't have any of his albums (just a 'best of' CD) but I think his 1984 album was pretty good....you know,the album that contains the singles "Dynamite","Do What You Do" and that excellent duet with Michael "Tell Me I'm Not Dreamin".I'm gonna look for that album on my next vinyl dig | |

^^^CD's are no good. The record is better. You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

Ok I'm not bashing. Honestly. I'm just relieved to see a non-greasy pic of the man. Aah but it is slightly marred by that Mary Wilson wig.
Onward. I'M NOT SAYING YOU'RE UGLY. YOU JUST HAVE BAD LUCK WHEN IT COMES TO MIRRORS AND SUNLIGHT!
