"These days," he said in 2015, "I wouldn't know a pop chart from a Pop-Tart."

Bjornebye Exposed In Soul Sell-out Scandal Shocka!!!!!

 

I treated myself to a trawl though the MOWTOWN/SOUL/FUNK/R&B thread yesterday and discovered the following act of treachery in the last post on page two of that magnificent body of work:

 

“I’ve been listening to a lot of motown again recently. Love dancing to it pissed in the kitchen.”

Dated 8 January 2017,

 

 

To my utter astonishment I noticed the post was submitted by none other than Bjornebye himself.

 

 

Yet here we are, three and a half years later, and the philistine flatly refuses numerous calls to include The Four Tops in the plebiscite.

 

 

Clearly this quisling needs inebriation, sobriety doesn’t suit him.

 

 

Can we have less hip-hop, grunge, indie and white-boy trailer- trash, heavy metal filth and a bit more music?

A band who can deliver a tune with melody, rhythm and musicianship plus a singer or two who can actually hit a note?

 

 

Bjornebye: bend the knee, black music matters.

 

 

Four Tops please Pal, and I’ll pay your bar bill.

Ooops, wrong thread.

I think you will find this was also gerrymandered out.

@tokyojoe suggested I should put this in here. Here My Dear is a brilliant album and the vocal on this gets me every time.
