@AguNwoke,

@ Ababoy,
i can't thank you enough! God bless!!!

@@nferyn
Used to be a big Prince fan, i loved 'Kiss, I wanna_ be your lover, Alphabet street, 1999, When Doves Cry' and then his stuff with the new power generation..

and then he went through that crazy phase in the 90s when he changed his name to a sign. (thats when i moved on  )

Well, he's never been quite normal, has he
His newer work is still OK, but no longer of the level of his earlier stuff. I've been to two of his concerts, the most amazing performance you can imagine (haven't had a chance to go to an afterparty, though )

bagoma:

@AguNwoke,

I dey for planet earth o! 

Jus saying ABBA - from a SOUL perspective
when compared to Kurtis Blow, Cameo, Teddy P, Dazz Band, Floaters etc
abba was not all that!!

Good for taxi music though

Shame i never saw him live but i've seen his performances on TV so i can imagine what it'll be like.

AguNwoke:

have to admit i did go through an Abba phase too back then, i remember 'Dancing queen' quite well

And still on the 80s who was a big Michael Jackson fan back then (before he was 'bad' and 'dangerous') come on you can admit it 

I'm still a wacko jacko fan - see the icon in my profile.
Jacko rules...

betty wright- tonight is the night.

Yeah Bagoma.........I absolutely love this song!

@ ababoy1, done. Thanks.

Abba's music was not dancing music as such...but it certainly was important music in those days. And Boney M, Shalamar...

Whacko rules o...forget all that drama, the man/boy knows his business...

BTW, did this turn out to be the 30's forum?

@Oiza & Bagoma - OK - Till I read from you.

ijebuman:

I was very much a Michael Jackson fan when he still looked like a human being and not like a wax doll for Madame Tussaud's. Didn't have the money then to buy any records, copied thriller from LP to cassette and made the cassete cover myself. I still have that tape
Started to appreciate Prince more, especially after Parade, never went back to Wacko Jacko. That was about the time I expanded my musical horizon a little: Sly and the Family Stone, U2, The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, Jazz (Coltrane and Miles Davis), ...

Whats your fav music these days? keeping up with the times.

AguNwoke:

nice icon mate

He definitely knows the business, (shame he lost the plot). Saw him in concert in the early 90s and it still ranks as the best live show i've ever seen. I still remember the first time i saw the video for 'Billie Jean' (back in the days of NTA2 and the LWT musical video show ) i can still do those moves o

I must confess...

I once upon a time liked Micheal.. My all time favourites of his were "I want to Rock with'ya" and "Human Nature"...

The thing about him is that he's very unpredictable.. Even till now, on almost every album, you'll always find one reasonable song, and then a bunch of crap.. but the dude is gifted.. I wont take that away from him...



@ Freshsmile...

I'm still a R&B buff... Delving into the occasional Rap and HipHop...

Followed the trends from New Edition, through Boyz2Men, R.Kelly... the works...

Right now, my "following" include an ecclectic mix from John Legend (I remembe when I used to love u), JayZ (Dirt your shoulders off), Lenny Kravitz, Kanye West (Gold Digga ), and Fifty 'kobo'(too many to mention here, but most recently, Magic Stick)..

But BIG UPs to the Naija R&B scene... My heart is really gladdened that we used to and still have local songs which compete with the international scene..

'Oya' by TrybesMen
'Olufunmi' by Stylz Plus

Even the oldies by Mike Okri, Dizzy K Falola, Bonney Mack (I still reckon this fella's a Naija dude)  and Baba himself.. may his soul Rest In Peace... they are simply Unforgetable..

@ AbaBoy,

My brother, I beg no vex.. still trying to make up my mind on which songs to request from you, make I no be like "Oliver Twist".. 
Will get back to you ASAP...

Lawd, I'm having fun..

Lol, Nferyn how mean can u be

Apart from his frightening appearance, Micheal's songs are still wonderful to listen to any day any time.

Guys does anyone have links to where i can download nigerian songs. Pls i need it asap.

I still list Thriller as one of the best CD's in my collection, regardless of Michael's appearence.
And, I wasn't mean, I was just stating an objective fact, although I used provocative language for effect

Nferyn, ease up. It was a joke.

@ prettyH
Sorry, wrong smiley, should have been
