Not to be racist against white people, but good ones are hard to come by.

For #100, I pick "Miracles" by Jefferson Starship. When he sings, "I wanted to taste the world, so I went down on you," or whatever its is, that's slightly bad ass.

Sure songs like that are rare, but there must be more. Hall & Oats or some shit.

Van Morrison to thread, please.

― Austin (Austin), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 18:38 (twenty years ago)

Simply Red

― Flash (cowboytrance), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 18:44 (twenty years ago)

2. "I've Been Working" - Van Morrison
3. "If I ever Needed Someone" - Van Morrison
4. "Let it Loose" - Rolling Stones (serious Sam&Dave cribbing here)

― Will(iam), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 18:45 (twenty years ago)

5. Flaming Ember, "Mind, Body and Soul"

― Joseph McCombs (Joseph McCombs), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 19:16 (twenty years ago)

6. "Everytime You Go Away" - Paul Young or Darryl Hall, doesn't Matter to be.

― Randy Reiss (undeadsinatra), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 19:17 (twenty years ago)

7. "All The People" by Money Mark

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 19:27 (twenty years ago)

Money Mark's singing voice was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO(infinity) wasted during his time with the Beastie Boys.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 19:28 (twenty years ago)

What was that thing that sampled "A Fifth of Beethoven" about 2 years ago? By Alan Thicke's kid? That was pretty cool.

― Austin (Austin), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 19:33 (twenty years ago)

"When I Get You Alone"! That's the one.

― Austin (Austin), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 19:35 (twenty years ago)

Didn't we start out in descending order?

92. Charlie Rich - "Hurry Up Freight Train"

― briania (briania), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 19:39 (twenty years ago)

91. George Michael, "Cowboys and Angels"

― Joseph McCombs (Joseph McCombs), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 19:42 (twenty years ago)

Charlie Rich might well own this thread. "Memphis and Arkansas Bridge," "Big Boss Man," "Who Will the Next Fool Be."

Dan Penn comes to mind--"Nobody's Fool" is a great one.

Little Stevie Winwood, early on, "Gimme Some Lovin'."

The Box Tops: "Soul Deep," "Cry Like a Baby," "She Shot a Hole in My Soul," "Turn on a Dream."

That's 10 right there.

― es hurt (ddduncan), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 20:48 (twenty years ago)

God, if we're allowing Charlie Rich it'd have to be the demo of "Feel Like Goin' Home." Though whether that's "soul" is debatable.

― Dark Horse, Wednesday, 2 February 2005 20:52 (twenty years ago)

I'm going back to ascending order.

10-19. All of "Abondoned Luncheonette"

That's 90-81 for you descending types.

― Scott CE (Scott CE), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 20:52 (twenty years ago)

"Feel Like Going Home" is soul, I mean of course that is. Great.

The Verb To Love - Todd Rundgren

Will you accept "Alison" by Elvis Costello as blue eyed soul? It's got that bad ass little friend of his that gets into party dresses.

― Bren (Bren), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 23:04 (twenty years ago)

JOSS STONE / MAROON 5!!!!!

Darryl Hall's singing on B-Legit's Ghetto Smile, and YES he changed the words from Sara Smile(and sings slightly better on it) so it DOES count.

― tremendoid (tremendoid), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 23:53 (twenty years ago)

I was surprised the Righteous Bros didn't get mentioned sooner as well, I think the term was actually invented for them.

I've been trying to forget this indigestible bolus of dullness my whole life.

I nominate the 8th Day's "She's Not Just Another Woman." Fantastic.

― Dave Segal (Da ve Segal), Thursday, 3 February 2005 03:07 (twenty years ago)

Unchained Melody - Righteous Brothers

I dare you to call THAT a bolus.

― Heidy- Ho, Thursday, 3 February 2005 05:32 (twenty years ago)

Neither one is a bolus.

What's a bolus?

― David A. (Davant), Thursday, 3 February 2005 07:04 (twenty years ago)
