Stronger collection of songs here, the ballads in particular. Went for "Still", just ahead of two other Commodores ballads and a couple of really great Smokey tracks. Also love "I Want You" while there were better songs on "Songs In The Key Of Life" than those two biggest hit singles IMO.

GOT TO GIVE IT UP

― Courtney Love's Jew Loan Officer (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 4 February 2009 23:58 (sixteen years ago)

Yeah, I don't even know why we bother to put other records on these polls that include great Marvin singles.

And "Still"? Gah. It might not even be bad, but Geir, that's the most boring music ever.

But it's probably also pretty bad.

Got To Give It Up is the winner

Sir Duke would be the winner, cept the lyrics are ALL JAZZMAN TESTIFYIN

― nabisock (PappaWheelie V), Thursday, 5 February 2009 03:34 (sixteen years ago)

voted for Being With You - Smokey Robinson

I also mentally connect this song with "Smalltown Boy" for some reason.

I generally liked Marvin Gaye's 70s material, but "Got To Give Up" I find helplessly boring. Just the same chord all the time and extremely monotonous and repetitive.

B-b-but a grapefruit-juice bottle!
