If you don’t know this song, I really encourage you to give it a listen—and watch the video. Seriously, give it a few minutes. It’s worth it.

This is one of the great recordings of the 1970s, regardless of genre. The hypnotic bassline, eerie atmosphere, instrumental buildup, orchestration, and extraordinary vocals make it an experience rather than just a song.
And the video is fantastic. Watching the Temptations perform it adds another dimension to the music.
You don’t have to be a soul or funk fan to appreciate this. If you love great music, give it a chance.

"Papa Was a Rollin' Stone" is a song originally performed by Motown recording act the Undisputed Truth in 1972, [https://youtu.be/oOflymZ6cDY?is=SPNRfrL6iXyYu1zP ] though it became much better known after a Grammy Award-winning cover by the Temptations was issued later the same year. This latter version of the song became a number-one hit on the Billboard Hot 100.
…
The edited 7-inch single release of this Temptations track was issued in September 1972, and this version was a number-one hit on the Billboard Hot 100 and won three Grammy Awards in 1973. While the original Undisputed Truth version of the song has been largely forgotten, the Temptations' version of the song has been regarded as an enduring and influential soul classic. The full-length album version was ranked number 169 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time, one of the group's three songs on the list.”

Was listening to a Meat Puppets album Up On The Sun when i came across track #7...called Buckethead.

This album came out in 1985....a few years before Mr B.P. Carrol decided to become Buckethead.

Moreso , in Pike #17, Buckethead has a track called Animal Kingdom which was track #4 on the same Meat Puppets album.

Thought to share this trivia non trivia with you guys.

An old one

I just started a new subreddit for fans to post about wishbone ash r/wishbone_ash hopefully see you guys there!

This is one of those playlists that you just need to have a look at to know if you like the songs because there is such a large assortment in the alt-rock genre.

Name a song/track that might be the best one on a critically acclaimed album, but got little, if any, radio airplay.

I'll go first: "Close to the Borderline", Glass Houses/Billy Joel.
