Classic, groove definers; innovative fills; clever use of space; solid time; infectious; ecstatic; UNDENIABLE... have you lived it? how did they affect you? What would You compile?

[Dig_Wilbur_Ware]

Bodyheat... yeah.

 

[PlayTheBass]

All good ones above, for sure. Thanks for turning me on to Bodyheat -- I'd never really listened closely to that one, but I'm checking it out now and it's cool.

Sex Machine is probably my fave, but I'd like to throw out Get Up Offa That Thing as a pretty sweet line.

I always kind of liked Doing It To Death, too.
