Marvin Gaye's "I Want You", plus extended intro jams from those sessions. Hypnotic and beautiful. There was a fab documentary on him here recently, and this beautiful song was a triumph- he acheived his own studio where he could layer and overdub his vocals at will, which was quite something for pre-digital 1976.
He had a beautiful voice and soul, but fell prey to drugs, parasites, and his murderous father, a (cross-dressing!) preacher who always hated Marvin's creativity, talent and sexuality (watch the ladies swoon). His preacher father murdered Marvin by his own hand. tragic.
Madonna's "Hard Candy" is also on my "current" playlist, but over the last 2 weeks, it's the little annoying things about that's putting a nail in my skull. The remixes are good, the album tracks always go off the rails somehow. It's a slightly shrill album that's trying way too hard, the good parts get killed by some rapper and an abrupt veer away of what's the good part of the song.
