i love that all the songs i didn't vote for or recognize the title, i put them on and am like "OHHHH that's what it's called, i love that song"

Jean-Claude Brand Ambassador (some dude), Friday, 27 September 2013 16:33 (twelve years ago)

I didn't participate but good job folks. Dramatics "In the Rain" is awesome

curmudgeon, Friday, 27 September 2013 17:05 (twelve years ago)

yeah I didn't vote in this (or the Motown poll) just becuase there's too much imho. like every track in the Stax singles box should get a vote

what's up ugly girls? (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 27 September 2013 17:10 (twelve years ago)

Trying to keep up at work...The main images aren't showing for me--maybe they're blocked here for some reason. Oran "Juice" Jones covered "In the Rain," right? Or maybe he just sampled it, I can't remember.

clemenza, Friday, 27 September 2013 17:14 (twelve years ago)

Huh. Does everyone else see the images?

having nunavut (seandalai), Friday, 27 September 2013 17:24 (twelve years ago)

I can't see them either.

cops on horse (WilliamC), Friday, 27 September 2013 17:27 (twelve years ago)

Oh well :(

Can anyone see them?

having nunavut (seandalai), Friday, 27 September 2013 17:28 (twelve years ago)

Some of them say "broken link" when I open them in new tabs, and some say "hotlinking denied."

cops on horse (WilliamC), Friday, 27 September 2013 17:28 (twelve years ago)

Only image I see is for "Time Is Tight."

I can see them now. I didn't even realize you were posting images before.

Johnny Fever, Saturday, 28 September 2013 02:06 (twelve years ago)

Love "Tramp." That whole album, King and Queen, is one of the best of that Stax era, nearly as good as Otis Blue.

hopping and bopping to the krokodil rot (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Saturday, 28 September 2013 03:58 (twelve years ago)

can you give us image update, i would love to see the ones you have already posted but none of us saw. i love the idea of seeing the labels.

Bee OK, Saturday, 28 September 2013 04:02 (twelve years ago)

Ok, I'll do a rundown with the images before rolling out the rest of the poll.

Apparently Star Trek was Al Bell's favourite TV Show, hence the "Enterprise" label.
