Oh, really?Wow. For some reason, I thought you would be a Young fan.

Well, their songs usually just never seemed to me to have SONGS attached, which was the problem, I guess. They always just seemed like clinicians to me, laying down Funky Grooves in a workmanlike fashion I couldn't imagine why anybody particularly cared about (better for sampling, I guess, than for actually listening to.)

Weird. I find the Meters to be one of the least jammy funk bands -- especially since all their songs were so short.
i was playing a meters tape in my car once and a friend asked "is this the grateful dead?"

this has occurred to me, too. so good for sampling that it's probably true even if you like them.

mixed-gender pop groups - abba, s club, steps - usually come with this blue peter sheen to them which really distracts from any emotional import their lyrics would have in the hands of others; also the men, especially if they sing, tend to be completely superfluous to proceedings. i like songs here and there by all the above groups, but as entities i'm not particularly enthused.

Jackson 5 (as opposed to solo Michael Jackson) is probably one of the closest calls, although I'm not sure what Shakey Mo or Alex in NYC have to say about them.
