best thing about this being that I finally get to dive deeper into soul music (I really love Al Green's Call Me for this year.)

i know im just saying im finding it most useful to go in with that kind of open mind. instead of trying to hopelessly compare everything i like to compare the smaller pockets instead

you know that if i made some massive top songs or albums list it would be massively skewed towards older music too

(told you we'd riot if we didnt move to 1974 )

It's funny that you guys are telling me to be more nostalgic to the era where I was in my prime young person record buying era

I obviously love a ton of music from this last two decades but I don't feel like even the absolute goats of my heydey are up to snuff when compared to the og's.

Like when was the last time somebody did a Gates Of Eden or It's Alright Ma? Trick question cause I know the answer is never

what would be your picks for 73?

Listen to one random album by an artist and forget about moving on for years

that sounds way too stressful (but I'd do the same). at least soul music isn't.

Example: Village Green Preservation Society only Kinks album I've listened to more than once

arthur is great too. Victoria is such an uplifting opener.

also strongly recommend the huge various artists soul comp What It Is! Funky Soul and Rare Grooves. pretty stunning collection with a ton of artists that seem very unknown to me

been digging through it gradually and trying to post the appropriate songs per year in this thread when i remember
