The Best of Sade poll

1. sweetest taboo
2. love is stronger than pride
3. the rest

'the rest' means i got lazy after my top two, obv i think there are tons of great songs on this

fucking impossible

Was gonna vote for "The Sweetest Taboo" until I remembered the distorto-guitar on "No Ordinary Love," which now sounds like trip-hop three years before the fact.

"Is It A Crime" was my fave for many years but I really have worn it out. This is a difficult choice. I'm playing the Love Deluxe tracks again to see if I can figure this out. God, that album takes me back.

yeah if I could actually pick one, "No Ordinary Love" seems like the one that'd get the nod - the development in that song is like wahhhhhhhhhhhh, so menacing and understated and awesome. But "Hang On To Your Love" is incredible, so's "Cherish the Day," all that shit's incredible, no way of choosing.

TS: Like A Tattoo vs. Pearls

Now that would be a poll!

Okay, fuck it, I'm going with my initial instinct: the sublime funkiness of Nothing Can Come Between Us must be rewarded.

mad professor mix of "love is stronger than pride"

i realize that is heresy

mad professor mix of "love is stronger than pride"

thx mang!

oh sade...
oh...

Urgh this is fucking hard. I think I'll go with "Kiss of Life" but I need to thing it over. I'd be sad if no-one one picked "Like a Tattoo"

There is a song by Asa Chang and Junray - Hana, that samples Sade, or so said my friend, but he couldn't remember the name of the song.

Here's the video:

Does anyone know?

C'mon, Sweetest Taboo.

"No Ordinary Love", as Alfred said it's trip hop but with such pipes...second is "Smooth Operator".

I'd say Sweetest Taboo, but there's no way I'm voting for a song about fart huffing so its Love Is Stronger Than Pride.

no "by your side" = ban deej

no "by your side" = ban the best of sade

"Smooth Operator" is my favorite, but there are a number of other close contenders.

Voted "Smooth Operator" although her songs sounds annoyingly alike.

Best of Sade came out six years before By Your Side, alas.

"Jezebel" & "Is It a Crime" hate my "Like A Tattoo" vote, but "When Am I Going To Make A Living" wasn't on the list. *shrugs*

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

'Love is stronger than Pride'

I've never heard "please send me someone to love", I guess this is a bonus cut fro the compilation. How is it?

i'm for "paradise."
the band on that perfect loop. the perfect lyrics.

the opening one-two from "love is stronger..." to "paradise" on the album is so great.

After long and careful deliberation, I go with "Cherish".

honestly not sure i would pick a favorite to win at this piont

*point

I'd have voted for "Kiss of Life."

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

Weird

hang on to your love way underrated

<3 this track so much - shoulda been a single

Yeah, I like that one a lot, too! Hadn't heard it in awhile. Thanks.

love is stronger than pride
love is stronger than pride
love is stronger than pride
love is stronger than pride
love is stronger than pride
love is stronger than pride
love is stronger than pride
love is stronger than pride
love is stronger than pride
love is stronger than pride

'love is stronger than pride ' is the album that took me the longest to get into, but in the end it's up there with 'Love Deluxe'.

My personal fave:

kenny larkin remix of 'love is stronger than pride' is class.

How did I miss this? My vote would've been for "Cherish the Day" although I much prefer the album version to the version on "The Best of..."

wonder if i was the only "kiss of life" vote.
