Sly- Stand

If no one else is going to say it I will. "Sex Machine," all thirteen minutes and forty-eight seconds of it, is the definition of filler. Is anyone honestly going to claim that it is a classic?

It's my favorite song on the album. And I forgot all about that album, but I'll add it to my list.

I've never heard a Sly Stone album. I mostly only know the hits.

Whoa didn't know about this!!! Thanks alot! So I thought I had the concert on VHS, but she never release it. Just on CD. Gotta love google. I do have Brand New Day VHS. Too bad she is not well known here in the states she is very talented. I first heard her on a Jazz station I think and bought the LP of Time and tide. I also have a couple CD EP's too with some nice remixes and bonus cuts.

Do you have the Peter White with Basia Another Day?

Add these:

Seal IV, James Morrison - Undiscovered, Fiona Apple - When The Pawn, Marc Anthony - Valio La Pena(Salsa Version), Bill Evans - Left To Right, Maxwell - Urban Hang Suite, etc.

OK, I'll try again. How do you feel about "Don't Call Me Nigger, Whitey?" That's a pretty boring and monotonous song. For me those are two reasons why Stand is far from a perfect album.

I forgot about that one. Yeah, I don't love that song. I can see how someone wouldn't like "Sex Machine", too, but I like lengthy instrumentals (N.E.W.S. might be my favorite Prince album), so that's why I like that song.

I have the song on a tape, but not his album. Are you talking about the Brave New Hope remix album above? I have that one.

I don't know if you've seen this video from 1974, but I posted it in the early footage thread: prince.org/msg/8/381530

At least one person mentioned There's a Riot Goin' On. I think I have found a "weak" song on that album too. The title track is terrible!

Nice video. Yeah Brand New Hope remixs. There are 2 different ones each one has bonus songs and different remixes. One has 7 songs and the other has 9 songs. Baby You're Mine EP(with a nice see through cover) also has some remixes.

I think "Rumours" is the ONLY cd I've ever heard with no bad songs on it. I remember the first time I played it all the way through I was confused because I was expecting to have to skip something and that never happened...

Oh Minnie Ripperton, that albums IS perfect, and helped me make my first album

but seriously

There are really not that many for me, I always tend to find a couple of songs that I don't enjoy as much. Especially on those 50+ minutes albums in the post-80s era when everyone jumped on the bandwagon to fill a whole CD.

I can only think of:
