Algren Top 50 - MOBO Edition
I feel like I need to make a separate Top 50 list of music of black origin. I included one in my overall list (don't count remixed versions of Nina Simone and Michael Jackson songs, regardless of the ethnicity of the DJ who remixed them). Whether the songs on this list were just not good enough or that I completely forgot them or just forgot how good they were, it matters not. That list is that list, and it is final. This list is now here and I love most of the songs on this list just as much (perhaps a few should have been included). These songs are just not really my go-to playlist, but they are no less great. I tried to include songs that were either made by a black person and/or are clearly music of black origin. Thus, I did not include any Michael Jackson as most of my favourites of his are pop-rock, dance-pop etc. and I do not consider that to be black music, whether or not you think that it all originated from blacks in the first place anyway. There are songs sung by white people on this list but they were either originally written for black artists or are clearly of black musical origin (such as reggae). Enjoy my list. No honourable mentions. Straight into it... Full List:1. "No Church in the Wild" - Kanye West and Jay-Z 2. "Runaway" - Kanye West 3. "Gangsta's Paradise" - Coolio 4. "Hell of a Life" - Kanye West 5. "King" - UB40 6. "Power" - Kanye West 7. "Long Tall Sally" - Little Richard 8. "Niggas in Paris" - Kanye West and Jay-Z 9. "Ten Million Slaves" - Otis Taylor 10. "Sexual Healing" - Marvin Gaye 11. "Open Book" - Gnarls Barkley 12. "Hey Ya!" - Outkast 13. "$100 Bill" - Jay-Z 14. "So Appalled" - Kanye West 15. "Look to the Side" - Otis Taylor 16. "Going On" - Gnarls Barkley 17. "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" - Will Smith & DJ Jazzy Jeff 18. "Rat in Mi Kitchen" - UB40 19. "Drunk and Hot Girls" - Kanye West 20. "All Along the Watchtower" - Jimi Hendrix 21. "Son of a Preacher Man" - Dusty Springfield 22. "The Tears of a Clown" - Smokey Robinson and The Miracles 23. "Kingston Town" - UB40 24. "Stand By Me" - Ben E. King 25. "All Of The Lights" - Kanye West 26. "Barry Bonds" - Kanye West 27. "The Devil's Gonna Lie" - Otis Taylor 28. "It's a Fight" - Three 6 Mafia 29. "When a Man Loves a Woman" - Percy Sledge 30. "In Da Club" - 50 Cent 31. "Lost in the World" - Kanye West 32. "Summer Madness" - Kool & The Gang 33. "Boombastic" - Shaggy 34. "Fly Like an Eagle" - Seal 35. "Stronger" - Kanye West 36. "Yeah!" - Usher 37. "Dark Fantasy" - Kanye West 38. "Gorgeous" - Kanye West 39. "Ain't No Sunshine" - Bill Withers 40. "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay" - Otis Redding 41.

Re: Algren Top 50 - MOBO Edition
Segregation! Man, twenty songs in one go. That's a lot to go through, but I'll give the ones I don't know yet a listen. Already gotta approve of including John Legend, I love him.

Re: Algren Top 50 - MOBO Edition
the lesser evil wrote: Segregation! The truth is more like ... "Forgetful Moron!". I forgot so many great black songs in my Top 50 that I felt I wanted to do them justice with a new list. And music is very much like that with me. I go through stages of listening to trance and/or rock for weeks, then Hip Hop and R&B for a few weeks. When I made the Top 50 I was in a trance/rock phase. That's my go-to music. the lesser evil wrote: Man, twenty songs in one go. That's a lot to go through, but I'll give the ones I don't know yet a listen. Already gotta approve of including John Legend, I love him. I thought about doing five songs or ten songs to begin with, but I didn't want to appear to hog yet another list thread away from first-timers like CowboyFromHell or you, so I thought it best to get through it as quick as possible.

Re: Algren Top 50 - MOBO Edition
Okay, I'm not sure what part of Youtube you're getting these from, but Otis Redding's song is legit the only video available to me.

Re: Algren Top 50 - MOBO Edition
I am using Topic channels. I think they are for US-only. Sorry about that. If I had just posted five songs, I would edit all with universal videos, but I'm not going through twenty songs to change them all.
