What rock music are you listening to? Non-Jazz, Non-Classical.

Great album.  Norman Whitfield, Gwen Dickey!  Somebody please explain to me why their version of "Wishing on a Star" wasn't a huge hit....

Sly - Life

If Sly meets your definition of "rock."  

Still listening, either way.

Now spinning:

I love how Bootsy constantly sounds like he's on the verge of cracking up, busting out into laughter.  I can't think of anything else like this (aside from other Bootsy-related things)... So full of joy and hilarity !!!

It's definitely NOT rock, imo.  But this thread has sorta evolved into "Post anything EXCEPT jazz or classical" -- and in that sense, it works perfectly here.

Bootsy's albums are fantastic. Always put me in a good mood.

Thirteen year old me got this record when it came out-I had listened to it for many years before I started coming across the received critical wisdom that to some extent still colors the general perception of this release. My experience with this record was quite different than that of the critics...of course I was thirteen-what did I know?

It seems to rate highly in the critical canon today, but did it get a cool reception when it came out? Interesting that Lennon and McCartney both put out such stripped-down records for their respective solo debuts. The Lennon one hits pretty deep with me whenever I listen to it.
