186. Fire and Desire-Rick James and Teena Marie

187) "Red Light Special" - TLC

189) Frank Zappa - The Black Page...

Mr. Zappa was a quintessential 20th-century American composer, a maverick within popular music and an outsider among classical composers. His huge body of work -- more than 60 albums since 1966 -- embraces doo-wop, big-band suites, heavy metal, jazz-rock, blues-rock, orchestral music and every pop fad he decided to mock. The stage shows of his band, the Mothers of Invention (renamed Zappa after 1978), were renowned for precise musicianship and uninhibited, sometimes scatological humor.
His classical chamber and orchestral compositions have been conducted by Zubin Mehta and Pierre Boulez, and the Lyons Opera Ballet of France commissioned choreographers to create dances to his music. But as his instrumental music gained recognition, he gave up classical composition, he wrote in his 1989 autobiography, "The Real Frank Zappa Book" (Poseidon Press), because "the incentive to continue was removed by having to deal with symphony orchestras."

A wonderful and complex woman, bless her soul.

190. Phyllis Hyman - Old Friend

Brendan said:

188) Cop Shoot Cop - Spiritualized (1997) 17:14 If you have enough to say the message is never too long. The type of purity of bliss that'll prep your old walls for a new layer by the time your vessels carry its full madness. Loneliness, hopelessness, madness: The most base craving for reproducing the stimuli that once made life more manageable, more optimistic, more of a reason to set your watch. And like all greatness, you may need to hit that hole with reverence before your palette is prepped for the next cop.

Very nice!

191) Sweetback - Gaze feat. Amel Larrieux

192. "I Want You" - Erykah Badu

one of her best moments.

193. Can - "Yoo Doo Right"

You can just about hear Malcolm Mooney's psyche fracturing in this!

Taken from my review of parent album Monster Movie:

"Yoo Doo Right" is a monstrous opus so amazing that it precludes the possibility of excessive superlatives. From Mooney's primal rhythms and incandescent pleas to the deceptively catchy bass lines, the stage is set for a true classic. When Michael Karoli envelops the song in his disarmingly beautiful guitar embrace, the deal is sealed. The song evolves emotionally and structurally over the course of twenty minutes, just enough to keep my attention. Not all songs of such aspirations warrant their heady lengths, but "Yoo Doo Right" acquits itself on all counts, proving truly mesmerizing with each listen.

196) Gil Scott-Heron - The Revolution Will Not Be Televised

Gil Scott-Heron (born April 1, 1949) is an American poet, musician, and author known primarily for his late 1960s and early 1970s work as a spoken word soul performer and his collaborative work with musician Brian Jackson. His collaborative efforts with Jackson featured a musical fusion of jazz, blues and soul music, as well as lyrical content concerning social and political issues of the time, delivered in both rapping and melismatic vocal styles by Scott-Heron. The music of these albums, most notably Pieces of a Man and Winter in America in the early 1970s, influenced and helped engender later African-American music genres such as hip hop and neo soul. Scott-Heron’s recording work is often associated with black militant activism and has received much critical acclaim for one of his most well-known compositions “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised”. On his influence, Allmusic wrote “Scott-Heron’s unique proto-rap style influenced a generation of hip-hop artists”.

205) Antonio Carlos Jobim - Insensatez (How Insensitive)...

Brazilian songwriter, composer, and arranger who transformed the extroverted rhythms of the Brazilian samba into an intimate music, the bossa nova (“new trend”), which became internationally popular in the 1960s.

Jobim collaborated on many albums, such as Getz/Gilberto (1963) and Frank Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim (1967). He also recorded solo albums, most notably Jobim (1972) and A Certain Mr. Jobim (1965), and composed classical works and film scores. Of the more than 400 songs Jobim produced in the course of his musical career, “"Samba de uma nota só"” (“"One-Note Samba"”), “"Desafinado"” (“"Slightly Out of Tune"”), “"Meditação"” (“"Meditation"”), “"Corcovado"” (“"Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars"”), “"Garota de Ipanema"” (“"The Girl from Ipanema"”), “"Wave,"” and “"Dindi"” have been particularly popular.

211) Vince Guaraldi - Cast Your Fate To The Wind...

"Cast Your Fate to the Wind" became a Gold Record winner and earned the 1963 Grammy as Best Instrumental Jazz Composition. It was constantly demanded during Guaraldi's club engagements, and suddenly jazz fans couldn't get enough of him. He responded with several albums during 1963 and '64, perhaps the most important of which was "Vince Guaraldi, Bola Sete, and Friends", with Fred Marshall (bass), Jerry Granelli (drums) and Brazilian guitarist Bola Sete.

The jazz pianist's association with Charles Schulz's creations actually had begun the year before, when Guaraldi was hired to score the first Peanuts television special, adocumentary called"A Boy Named Charlie Brown " (not to be confused with the big- screen feature of the same title). The show brought together four remarkable talents: Schulz, writer/producer/director Lee Mendelson, artist Bill Melendez and Guaraldi.
