It's funny how this thread has made me realise that from the 60's decade, the vast majority of music I like from that era was released by black artists (incomparison to my love of exclusively white 80's and 90's post punk / indie music).
Dylan, The Monkees and a couple of white Phil Spectre all girl groups apart, it's all the Motown stuff and soul songs. And here my 2 cultures clash.....
80's white goth / post punk / rock whichever genre The Cult fit in v a Motown classic. You would think it would be impossible to like both but i do...... and despite Billy Duffy being a Blue and the bloke who got Johnny Marr and Morrissey together..... I'm voting for the penalty taker extraordinaire Diana Ross and The Supremes here.
One of the greatest opening riffs of the 80's I know..... but it just comes up short here......
