I figured I’d jump on the bandwagon. Because even the greatest group of all time wasn’t immune to producing some garbage tracks from time to time!
Personally, can’t stand Zoom! It’s something you’d expect from the Undisputed Truth! Dated and ridiculous. Others I can think of include “Life of a Cowboy” & “Romance without Finance”
Still deciding, but I shall readily admit, that I usually would get turned off the deeper and more socially consciously psychedelic the Dennis Edwards era would fluctuate. This is just me, and my personal tastes.
"Sweet Gypsy Jane" from 1976.
Never liked stop the war, and it’s like ten minutes long
Never cared for Papa Was a Rolling Stone, even if it was a massive hit.
It’s summer, stop the War Now, The Way You Do The Things You Do
Easy: "Positively Absolutely Right" [[from A Cellarful Of Motown! Vol. 2).
Not a huge fan of "Superstar". :)
Happy People.
That's easy...bareback..yuck ahhrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
That was a terrible song. It had not hook, melody or anything.Quote:

Never been too keen on "Runaway Child, Running Wild" but I listened to it yesterday and really enjoyed it so there you go.
See we all differ in taste. "Run Away Child, Running Wild" was one of the biggest record of t he year in 1968-69 in Detroit! I use to hear it even at roller skating parties.Quote:

I loved the "psychedelic" phase and I'll agree with some of the posts on here, that the Temptations seemed to lose their way by the mid 1970s. But for me, the one song that I am happy to skip when it comes on to my CD player is 'I can't get next to you'. I think the start of the song is just so tacky, that no matter how good the rest of it is, I've switched off.
Never said it wasn't on the album. Still, 90% of the "A Song For You" album was good to great in my opinion.Quote:
