@Lawdie the supremes were already a classic

?

@Lawdie

referring to your previous disregard

Which disregard?

the shade

Idk I just remember you saying something along the lines of "the Supremes are not one of the goat Motown acts" that had me absolutely

I was probably talking about their abilities i.e. not writing their own songs and not having strong voices compared to others

agreed but none of that mattered when the level of preferential treatment they got from Gordy basically amounted to career-sabotage for the other women who might have challenged Diana's stardom.

they (and the temps) got priority on all the best songs and the fanciest production budgets.

man i cant play this one loud enough

Those london boys tried their hardest but

this was her next single after TIOMS

but yeah she did it better than the stones

two amazing non-classics @RVI

im on Marvins 2 80s albums right recently

and listening to the rest of the Star Time james brown comp that i didnt hear before, along with his Hell album

best soul and r&b songs of the year one of the best years

@Lawdie thoughts on this being one of the best years, and probably the best year up to this point?

all those Four Tops placements

Yeah I could've put Call On Me higher but they did get a song in the top 5 so

You should check out Irma if you haven't yet

Trying to configure my final ranking but the songs that are new to me keep sinking in harder and harder

@Elric pretty sure we've been on 1964 for like 2 months now
:waiting:

I think 2-3 months is the average lol gonna take longer the more jam-packed each year gets. or maybe not cause I'm pretty sure I have way less blind spots from here on to explore. Mainly country.

too many classics

As basic of a pick as it is, I’m probably gonna have to go with Sound of Silence.

Heard it for the billionth time today and it still roused my spirit definitely top tier folk song of the year
