Reminds me of soul music from the 60s and early 70s.

The definitive 'song that was ahead of its time'. Now arguably their most well-known work, it was originally released as only a B-side to 'William, it was Really Nothing', because it doesn't sound like their other songs. Unlike their other songs, this 1984 song fit in perfectly on playlists during the grunge of 1994 and the Strokes-Killers rock renaissance of 2004.

Loretta or Willie woulda built up the relationship more slowly. But what we got right here is a 2020’s style thirst trap of a song, masqueradin’ as a classic. By god, it’s parched. Mighty Despicable I tell ya. Downright wanton i reckon. Lewd n lascivious!! Well, that’s just ma 2 cents. Y’all enjoy now ya hear.

This feels like a song James Brown would have crushed.

Released in the mid-2000s, harkens back to the late 80s/mid 90s of this combined band of guns and roses and the singer from stone temple pilots

This song came out in 1977, but it would have fit in just as well in the late '90s or early 2000s. It almost reminds me of Madonna's Ray of Light - not because Madonna's jam felt like a throwback, but because songs like this were so far ahead of their time.

60s vibes. I always liked their retro sounding songs more than All Star
