Curtis Mayfield? Seriously? OTIS REDDING. You can't spell Eddy Grant's first name, you like LFO and now this. You're KILLING me, man.

Damn you guys are mean! It took all of 15 seconds to get straigtened out on wikipedia after I read that, so no BFD.

That second song is FILTHY!!! And it's also way better than LFO, way better.

"For God's sake, show some balls."

"I think it's too late to try to impress them."

All downhill for Ackroyd and Chase after that one.

"Soul Finger" is awesome, but "Green Onions" is better.

thanks for mentioning 'holy ghost'. that's one of the essential breakdancing songs that somehow gets overlooked time and time again. HUGE DRUMS.

i love me some booker t, but "soul finger" gets the nod merely bc of the party sounds in the background. and their outfits are way tighter.

cosby, thanks for focusing on the important shit here. those drums are indeed hugeness incarnate.

that drum break - sounds like the one used in "pump up the volume". "put the needle on the record/put the needle on the record" - that part. word?
