The Dream – Sorry
The Dream – Sorry (2010)

Take The Dream doing his best Bobby McFerrin impression, add a scoop of Ladysmith Black Mambazo, and top it off with a pinch of Rockapella, and you get ‘Sorry’. Can’t blame a guy for dreamin’ (HAH).

Bob Marley – Kaya
Bob Marley – Kaya (1978)

I have never smoked marijuana; probably never will. However – if I ever do, get me whatever the hell these guys were smokin’ on when they captured this brilliant take – please.

Deborah Cox – Up & Down
Deborah Cox – Up & Down (2002)

Why doesn’t R&B sound like this anymore? Its easy to be crude and talk about condoms and menage-a-trois; innuendo on the other hand takes a bit more skill. Also – Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis are beasts.

Steve Martin – Wally On The Run (2009)

Chicago – If You Leave Me Now
Chicago – If You Leave Me Now (1976)

I don’t know what it is, but for some reason I can’t stay away from these soft-rock AM-Gold classics. Oh well…

Wings – Jet
Wings – Jet (1973)

Great track – but is the mix a problem or a feature? Never have I heard a stereo track sound so centered, restrained and mono – yet, the louder it gets, the better it sounds. Curious.

Jackson Browne – Lawyers in Love
Jackson Browne – Lawyers in Love (1983)

Yea, that’s right – I prefer the poppy Jackson Browne to the folksy Jackson Browne. Wanna fight about it?

Danger Doom – Crosshairs
Danger Doom – The Mouse and The Mask (2005)

“…Pelican, with some very soft mangoes, closet full of skeletons and terry-cloth Kangols…“ – Awesome.

The Outfield – Your Love
The Outfield – Your Love (1985)

Yea – this song is all chorus; But when your chorus is this good, lyrics just get in the way. Note: the song really ends at about minute 2 of 3:36.
