― ArchCarrier, Tuesday, 18 October 2016 08:35 (seven years ago) link
Cool! Like I said in the nomination thread, this is my favourite music for fucking, it's even better than Meshell N'degeocello's Comfort Woman in that regard.
Such an unique world Bey inhabits here, too bad he never got to do a proper follow-up, and "Experience and Judgment" remains slept on. Though apparently he did have a comeback in the 1990s doing more straightforward jazz, has anyone heard that stuff?

Album highlights: 'Punish Me' and her epic cover of 'Stop! In the Name of Love' (full 8:13 version sadly not on YouTube)
― ArchCarrier, Tuesday, 18 October 2016 11:42 (seven years ago) link
Happy to see a Barry White album make it. I had a couple of his other albums on my list. Hopefully they can squeeze in here too.
Love Margie Joseph. This and Phase II are fantastic records.

Great album. War to Why Can't We Be Friends is one of my favourite run of albums ever. Deliver the Word is my favourite.

I don't really have a plan, but I just got home and tonight I'm going to post at least ten more albums. Here's the next one:

― ArchCarrier, Tuesday, 18 October 2016 18:43 (seven years ago) link
Delighted to see this Commodores album place. They have a bunch of good records but this one is by far my favourite. One of my favourite albums of all time.
― Kitchen Person, Tuesday, 18 October 2016 18:47 (seven years ago) link
Pain is a really good album. I can never choose which is my fave era junie/westbound or the mercury era. Both were superb. One of the most underrated bands of all time.
Mandrill aren't gonna make it now, are they? :(

― Cosmic Slop,
Mandrill Is will definitely place. It has supporters on here.
Wonder how many Ohio Players albums will place? If I'd voted for any of them, I would have gone for Honey. That's easily my favourite.

― ArchCarrier, Tuesday, 18 October 2016 19:16 (seven years ago) link
I just listened to this on my way home. I should have given it more points.
It also has one of my favorite albums covers of this poll.
― ArchCarrier, Tuesday, 18 October 2016 19:21 (seven years ago) link
I've never heard this album. The only album I have by them is a singles compilation. I really should investigate them further.
― Kitchen Person, Tuesday, 18 October 2016 19:23 (seven years ago) link
Good to see Up For The Down Stroke place. Skin Tight and Pain too low - I suspect Pleasure will place the highest of all the OP records.
Commodores were at their best pre-1977, IMO.
Not surprised Shaft is so low - I actually find it incredibly overrated. Hayes made far better records. The theme is all-time, though.
― pen pineapple apple pen (Turrican), Tuesday, 18 October 2016 19:25 (seven years ago) link
I'm hoping the first two Mandrill albums place.

― ArchCarrier, Tuesday, 18 October 2016 19:27 (seven years ago) link
Hmm. I've always thought of Chocolate City as a minor album in Parliament's discography. Not as good as Up For The Down Stroke, IMO.
― pen pineapple apple pen (Turrican), Tuesday, 18 October 2016 19:29 (seven years ago) link
Three classics in a row

Teddy is among the greats so it's irritating that he has no true magnum opus album-wise. All of them, including the Blue Notes stuff, are pretty good though.
― simmel, Tuesday, 18 October 2016 19:32 (seven years ago) link
116. Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes - Wake Up Everybody (1975) is the one I voted for.
Chocolate City is probably my joint fave Parliament album.

Wow, someone's number one? I'm the other (unranked) vote for it. I appreciate concept albums that don't embarrass themselves and this one has a really fun dynamic to it with different vocals getting to express their own fucked up jealousy scenarios.

I had this Syreeta album pretty high on my list. I put her second album even higher.

There is obviously some essential Whitfield stuff but I much prefer the Ruffin/Smokey period.
― simmel, Tuesday, 18 October 2016 19:58 (seven years ago) link
I voted for the 'other' Syreeta album!
Enjoying this Blue Notes album, though there is some filler on there. Don't know them as an albums band. The title track is, of course, magnificent.

If you haven't heard 'To the Establishment' yet, please drop everything NOW and take the next 11 minutes and 19 seconds to listen to this masterpiece. It's the single best thing I've discovered through this poll and I would never have heard it otherwise. So thank you to whoever mentioned Lou Bond on the nominations thread.
