Jesus, that's another easy poll. Feel like voting for "Tried So Hard" by Gong tbh.

I complained on the other thread about how much time was devoted to Exile, but the series spends almost as much time — maybe more — on Sly, which is beyond welcome, particularly since there are zero Sly docs out there.

Also — spoiler alert — Zeppelin is not mentioned once in the series, not even in passing. I kind of admired that, and it makes sense given the series’ political focus. That said, the just-as-apolitical Osmonds get screen time, but the Jackson 5 goes inexplicably unmentioned.

Harlem

Family Affair I think.

For the pop cultural relevance you would think they'd mention "American Pie," but maybe nostalgia doesn't age well

Ooh family affair, so good. So organic

1. "Family Affair," 2. "Loving Cup" (even though--still haven't seen the series, understand it's very good--I have a philosophical objection to including stuff recorded in '71 but not released until '72, at least if the objective is to capture what it was like to be alive and a pop fan in 1971), 3. "Tiny Dancer," 4. "It's Too Late."

Isaac Wayes a lot, by the way, because he wears all those gold chains.

“Gimme little drink”

Voted for Sly in the previous poll, so "All I Want" over Curtis Mayfield.

I presume the "Black Juju" scene in this series will be the one where Alice gets cake thrown in his face onstage.

One of the Alice Cooper guys says the Black Juju routine didn't always work, so I have to think he had that incident in mind

My 10:

Evil - Stevie Wonder
Harlem - Bill Withers
Theme From "Shaft" - Isaac Wayes
Life on Mars? - David Bowie
All I Want - Joni Mitchell
(Don't Worry) If There is a Hell Below, We're All Going - Curtis Mayfield
Amazing Grace - Aretha Franklin
Family Affair - Sly & The Family Stone
Baba O'Riley - The Who
It's Too Late - Carole King

impulsively voted for “johnny too bad”

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

See Mavis Staples, vote for Mavis Staples (in this instance, Respect Yourself got the nod).

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Wow, someone else voted for Gong!
