Successors are seldom as good as the originals. I don't like them because they haven't brought anything new. The people who have brought new things are awful.

Uh oh. I wasn't supposed to say that.

I think the neo-soul artists (Maxwell, D'Angelo, Musiq, Jill Scott, Erykah Badu, etc.) have created a bit of their own, distinct from the predecessors.
no "The revolution will not be televised" on that list. I mean if you're talking influential works..."Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

I find it interesting that the only RnB song from after the mid 80's that I can see on that list is R. Kelly's I Believe I can Fly. Nothing else from a whole genre of music."Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

Erykah Badu is going to trial here in Dallas, her hometown, for doing dumb. I have some of hers.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

That may be, but I haven't heard much of it. I hear whatever ****ing crap they play sometimes in the Top 40 stations when I'm at the gym, and that's it.Originally posted by Albert Speer View Post
I'm spending way too much lately on new music (almost all alt-rock/post-punk stuff) that I can't be bothered to explore modern R&B.
I have issues identifying with a lot of R&B songs coming out these days. Are the R&B people abusing the **** out of autotune like the rest of pop music?"The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Billie Holliday's Strange Fruit has to be one of the most important songs of all time. Not according to Rolling Stone magazine.
At least Time called it the song of the century."Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

You are confusing a rock-biased list of the best songs MUSICALLY with a song that is importantly mainly for cultural reasons, not musical ones.Originally posted by Albert Speer View Post"The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate.

Hueij tried throwing Strange Fruit in my face since I'm from a Southern state. He didn't know at the time that I like Blues.
Joss Stone! No, shouldn't make the list, yet. Still, very good newer stuff.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

So the placement of U2's One is biased and wrong.Originally posted by Asher View Post

Mary J. Blige is on this song... that can't be right, can it? It's even a music video."Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

She did a duet for a re-release of the song. Because it's such an awesome song.Originally posted by Albert Speer View Post
But no, that's not the original."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

It's not biased and it's not wrong.Originally posted by Albert Speer View Post
Even the R&B community loves it...there's been a ton of duets with them for it.
The song is the basis of the "One" campaign: http://one.org/international/"The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."
