EDIT: Lol, this is going to be a massacre any way this goes.

Not exactly playing in my field here as I like but don't love most of the selection (and all the Stevie Wonder albums tends to blur with each other in my memories... same for Prince)
I don't get the acclaim for Live at the Apollo though.

Re: Music of R&B: Round 1, Week 1
Fun fact: the name of There's a Riot Going On was meant as a response to the question posed by the title of What's Going On, so it's neat that they're matched up.

Ridiculously good stuff in here. The first 3 album match-ups were just mean-spirited. As far as the songs, they were all clear winners to me, though the quality was fantastic from top to bottom.

When you have a colossal track like "River Deep - Mountain High" at your #14, that's a statement of how incredible this songs playlist is. Only "You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling" is a bit below the level of the others.
7. Otis Redding - (Sittin’ On) the Dock of the Bay vs. 6. Sam Cooke - A Change is Gonna Come - The toughest match of the week. Had to listen many times to each one, and still don't know what's the best one.

From this playlist, I consider "I Want You Back" anad "What's Going On" the two examples of perfect songs. Fullfilled arrangements, great musical structure and some of the best interpretations you could see on R&B. Every second of these tracks are thrilling. Very likely both will make my AT top 50 in next year's poll!

Re: Music of R&B: Round 1, Week 1
Well, Toni, what can I say? You're right, "I Want You Back" is a great song. But being #16 on a list so packed up with immortal classics: a) is no dishonour at all and b) it doesn't mean that I don't like the song. On the contrary, I love the song! I had a hard time chosing this last position, I switched from Beyoncé to the Righteous Brothers to finally the Jackson 5. I think we all agree this was a very tough first week for the R&B poll.

Re: Music of R&B: Round 1, Week 1
Yes, all 16 tracks are great! I listened to the playlist some times, and it was incredibly pleasant all the time. Actually, I just wanted to know if you disliked this song and why. For me, one of the best funky pieces ever recorded.Honorio wrote:Well, Toni, what can I say? You're right, "I Want You Back" is a great song.

Re: Music of R&B: Round 1, Week 1
Sam Cooke beats Otis Redding by one point, while Stevie and Michael curb-stomp the competition. Only one I feel is relatively bullshit is Aretha losing to the Four Tops.
