what's going on-Marvin Gaye

[Banned Tosspot]

One of the most overrated albums of all time, sounds awfully dated these days. Stevie Wonder's Innervisions, Fullfillingness First Finale and Songs in the Key of Life are the best soul albums ever.

Most soul albums are a pile of shit as they are usually 10-12 tracks of love songs which makes the greatest vocalist Luther Vandross' albums sound a bit weak.

WTF??!

Who mentioned 'love' albums??

Stevie Wonder's stuff is second to Marvin's original concept album. He was the first to take a massive risk on a whole albums worth challenging social commentary. Without Marvin, Stevie's stuff wouldn't have happened.

Your comments really lack knowledge on the impact 'What's Going on?' had on the music world. As for albums full of sh*t love songs, look no further than MJ's crock of sh*t served up over the years.

You're arguing about music with a man who thinks Beat It is social commentary Bigga, my heart goes out to you.

What BT knows about music you could write on the back of his tiny little cock.

Any chance on attacking the post and not the poster?

Do you have an opinion on the album?

To fill in time at airports, I bought the 2002 book edition entitled 'What's Going On' by Ben Edmonds. Its the story of the recording of that album.

A fascinating read about a troubled man...

Anyone who loves Motown, and Marvin Gaye, would probably appreciate the book.

Other fine books I've read include 'Where Did Our Love Go' (The Rise and Fall of the Motown Sound), 'Motown - The View From the Bottom' by Jack Ashford , and 'The Original Marvelettes'.

As for my favourite soul album - very very difficult to name one as there have been so-o many thru' the years.

I definitely include Marvin's albums with Tammi Terrell amongst my Top 20 all-time favourites. Legend has it that Valerie Simpson doubled up as Tammi on later recordings when Tammi was ill, however nothing can take away from those classic tracks.

Great thread...

Nah, I have it on vinyl and whilst it was a brave move at the time I still think it has aged badly.

It would be very boring if we all loved the same stuff.

Just listened to the record straight through....almost brings me to tears each time.

Best soul album ever??

It's been my favourite for a long time, with only a couple by Al Green being contenders.

You fucking weird internet stalking bad music taste having sexually dead cock muncher.

Anything to be different eh BT? Anything to appear interesting, edgy or wacky.

Get back to your fucking massive collection of saved BM threads and photo collections you sick fuck.

There are laws against people like you, BM may protect you but the world wont.

To be fair, TMQ, BT has said this before, so he is consistent, not just being a WUM.

He may be wrong, but he's not being a WUM, in my opinion.

Ok, Darren. To your (obviously limited) knowledge, what exactly has 'aged' on that Marvin Gaye album?

And please don't mention the use of flute or bongos...!

Also it was YOU that mention soul albums and 'love' in the same context, when no one else did. Since when did Luther ever do a social commentary album?!! The very notion is ridiculous!
