top 25 r&b @twinkletoez year was an absolute funk onslaught

Sly ran laps around everybody except The Temps who were almost singlehandedly keeping Motown on the cutting edge (even though Eddie hated the Whitfield productions). Everybody else over there had one banger if that.

Good album

its alright, definitely prefer More

14 over 17 and 23 is crazy

ive barely assimilated 23

Walk On was much easier cause ive already technically listened to it 500 times cause of RZA sampling the whole dang song for I Cant Go To Sleep

I guess you don’t have many listens for Black Steel by PE

I did eons ago but I didnt keep it in rotation. im sure they just sampled the most ear splitting section lol.

one of Ennio Morricones all timers

@HeyFella got any more?

@DELON

None that you haven’t already heard

Didn't realize Harrison wrote this one with him a bop

some 1969 nuggets from an amazing funk/soul comp ive been combing through @Elric @twinkletoez

comp is called What It Is! Funky Soul And Rare Grooves 1967-1977

that second one

its has that same guitar that sounds like a sitar that alot of songs from this year have

this for instance;

santana 1969 debut....a bonafide psych classic? perhaps

Not psych imo but a classic. It's been in my rotation.

i used to think that too but after digesting their progression out of psych im okay with calling the debut borderline psych. and definitely for a few songs

they got their record deal after opening for the Grateful Dead bet all those hippies were tripping balls getting their mind blown by latin rhythms

feel like by 1969 the psych classics are tending towards one thing (usually hard rock or prog) and there's not as much pure psych at this point. except by those bands who were behind the curve a few years

So... 1970?

almost

psych was about 4 years old at this point which is forever in the life of a rock and roll phase back then so yeah everybody was over it pretty much

was Merle deadass? @twinkletoez

I know he renounced this song later but he looks like hes already realized how corny this song is here

had to look this up knew it

This song made me dislike him for a very long time :mjlaff:

Still a banger

Yeah I'm still keeping it on the playlist but this is Merle's bop of the year
