Sot of similar to the "classics that suck thread" but with the possibilities of a good look.FIRST CHOICE: Let man put us asunder. oh god, I always knew about this track but never heard it until this past weekend with I heard it at Good Records. As certain contribetuer to the board busted my chops about it but in a strange turn of events I found a copy of the 12'' on the street on the way to the shop.Naw I can't decide which side I like MORE. The Shep Petibone mix or the brighter Frankie Knuckles version..I got the Shep playing right now.

I played it out last Saturday for the first time in ages and it went down quite well.
can't think of any classics i just got into. maybe someone can name some classics in the same style so i can get into them
Ha I just picked up/got privy to this 12" this year. And, I just played while shaving on Monday.
It's house music's Kool n the Gang NT
I just found these cds in a junk shop last month, and thought I'd see what the fuss was about. Of course, almost no-one bought these at the time, but now are sweated as being major classics. I'd never heard any track bar 'Cello Song' and then only the once. And it made no impression on that one hearing.
Now, having listened a few times, I find myself being drawn into the introspective moodiness and wanting to go back regularly, and join all the other brand new Drake fans. I have seen the light. BTW is this obvious enough? It's obvious in an 'older rock head who reads Mojo' kind of way....
I WAS LURKING ACROSS THE STREET WITH A TELESCOPE MANG. CREEPIN' THROUGH THE HOOD.
Played this at a party a couple of weeks ago...and this dude came up and told me how he lived in NY back in the day and it would get played in clubs all of the time and how the song is still very relevant today and basically he was seemingly really wanting me to share in his retrospective revelry...and I was like: sorry, but this is probably like only my 4th time to ever really hear this song.
I just got into this LP today really like it and had never really heard of it before!
Any stuff in a similar vein I should be checkin out?
Shep.
I don't know what was wrong with me all these years.
This opinion is wrong. Take that shit to the breaks.com
I've had them for a while, but lately have really been appreciating Ramsey Lewis - Mother Nature's Son and Them Changes
Not even the Mary J. Blige remake?
I should have been down with this years ago.
The Grass Roots.
Always loved their hits, am now just starting to explore their actual albums. Feelings is a lost pop-psych gem; Lovin' Things is from later, when they became more bubblegum, although some of the "progressive" album tracks probably explain why they were still holding their own at hipster venues like the Fillmores East & West.[/b]
I can't believe I went so many years without them in
my musical world.
Essential as essential gets....
I personally just picked up "Freedom flight" by Shuggie Otis and played "Strawberry letter 23" about 20 times in a row and I'm not exagerating.
Fela's "Shakara"
Lee Morgan's "Sidewinder"
Burning Spear's "Marcus Garvey"
A lot of Alan Tew, Hawkshaw, etc. stuff
I was born in '83. Sue me.
Non-in-joke Zappa.
Today it's been a dip into the Fooey's collection and a bit of The Style Council (Tracy Thorn-related). Girl has a nice voice.
