I've never been a Jay fan anyway so I may be biased but Big Boi and Dre get the dub for me. | |

I never listened to Raise but PL felt like EWF perfectly translated to the 80s.1973 - 1981 1973 Head To The Sky 1974 Open Our Eyes 1975 Gratitude 1976 Spirit 1977 All n All 1978 Best Of EWF vol 1 1979 I AM 1980 Faces 1981 Raise 1981 Raise, is the first album without legendary guitarist Al McKay, and their whole sound changed..Raise was a commercial success ("Lets Groove") but it was the beginning of the end, as they could never replace Al McKay's contributions on guitar or as a co-songwriter/arranger to Maurice White.

You're the one saying that, so you're wrong. Specially when it comes to Speakerbox | |

Specially when it comes to Speakerbox speakerbox had 1 joint with any replay value...the way you move...thats it... idlewild flopped commercially and critically...it was clear at that point that they were done...nothing has happened since, to change that...for southern rappers, they had a cute little 4 lp run .... but MCs like JayZ, Nas, Camron/Dipset, IceCube, Ghostface, Busta Rhymes, and even Drake, have had better runs.. | |

Yeah, probably Led Zeppelin, Pink Flloyd, Miles Davis or Skinny Puppy  I'm afraid of Americans. I'm afraid of the world. | |

No idea about Jay but Speaker has much more than that song, you just don't like it, and that's ok you're entitled to. Critically acclaimed album, you can't fight that. | |

Well they're kinda considered a "one hit wonder" in the USA. 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 | |

I'd nominate Jesse Owens in the 1936 Olympics from which he was making an indelible point against the arrogant foolish Nazism the Germans had bought into (Only to be snubbed by Roosevelt and not invited to the White House)
Also nominate those who fled the original colonies to join some natives as well as the success stories of the underground railroad. Otherwise; in music...

Okay, it's not the greatest run of all time because the albums aren't 100% consistent but gonna nominate Cameo's run from Secret Omen up to Word Up! anyway. It's a 9 album build of constantly and relentlessly pushing their sound forward. | |

Herbie Hancock has had a very impressive run, including film and excursions into other genres. if it was just a dream, call me a dreamer 2 | |

I didnt connect with the rest of the album. I liked the first two singles from "Touch the World" but they ran out of gas after "Raise". [Edited 3/20/20 12:56pm] "It's not nice to fuck with K.B.!

[Edited 3/20/20 12:56pm] i agree on Side By Side being the last great Earth Wind & Fire song of their golden era..theyve had a few good songs over the years since then, but the singles Side By Side and Fall In Love With Me, were the end of the great years for EWF | |

To Sign O' The Times. nah...to the Symbol Lp... Batman & Grafitti Bridge didnt stop the run..the run stopped when there was no new lp in 93 and then 'Come' came in 94, which at the time, was a disappointment. | |
