ImberBoy Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 Modern Anthems Back in the day, well my day any way, most Northernsoul tracks where unknown by the great unwashed, now that was a shame as the music is mega and most people would enjoy the tunes that have become classics and anthems. When the CD collections happened it allowed our music to be heard effortlessly and we now have well known and loved anthems that capture our imaginations and get us dancing or at least tapping our feat. Yes we can all get snobby about this, I am the worlds worst offender but lets put these things to a side for a while and list the Modern Anthems, I hope we can do this without getting bogged down in the "It aint Modern coz it's old" argument. If we list some of the better known, well loved danceable Modern tracks here then we may get more people peeping into the Modern Rooms or just listening and enjoying. I'll start with a couple of my faves from over the years: The Dells - Your Song Lou Rawls - See You When I Get There Thelma Houston - Saturday Night, Sunday Morning These are all available on youtube and they make me smile and dance, I hope you enjoy them and I hope this list will be added to so we can all expand our minds in a expanding kinda way.

Guest Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 mega! drizabone with pressure and Real Love, super trax , Real love poss the first Northern soul track with rap?? it also has brightest star on it too...well worth a listen.....look out for a maysa leak cd called conspiracies....i think...quite old now but great version of the bottle on there...brightest star and maysa leak should both be on u tube

Daved Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 Maysa's version of the The Bottle is on a CD called "All My Life" on Expansion. Excellent CD. Mirrors and Hooked on Your Love are also supern tracks on it. As for modern anthems, I guess it would be stuff like: Sean Oliver - You & Me Maxwell - Ascension Ann Nesby - In The Spirit George Benson - When Love Comes Calling Cheryl Lynn - Sweet Lind of Life Jaheim - Just In Case Ron Carroll - Back Together E-Smoove - Deja Vu Al Green - Keep On Pushing Love Dazz Band - You Are My Starship Ivan Matias - Somebody Knows How You Feel Angie Stone - Wish I Didn't Miss You Jill Scott - Golden Kindred The Family Soul - As Of Yet Next - Wifey Michael Cooper - Stepping To A Love Song Marvin Gaye - Let's Get It On (steppers remix) Tashan - After Hours Maysa - Friendly Pressure Earth, Wind & Fire - Can't Hide Love (MAW remix) Luther Vandross - Are You Using Me April Hill - The Search Mary J. Blige - Be Happy C-Nario - Body Fusion Hil St. Soul - Alright D'Influence - Magic / Taste of Bitter Love Impromp2 - Give It Up The O'Jays - Imagination James Day - Don't Waste The Pretty Donald McCollum - U Don't Want My Love Jennifer Hudson - Spotlight R. Kelly - Step In The Name of Love These have all been hammered by DJ's (some way too much lol) and filled dancefloors over the last 15 or so years.

I am going to list all of these and then see 9f we can put them into some batting order like The Kev Roberts list. Keep adding em but try to avoid being too high brow, we don't just want a list of Modern tracks, lets get the definite top 500 if possible? It may only be the top 100 or 50, lets give it a whirl.

Sean Hampsey Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 Simon, are you after creating a list of modern tracks that are more than 30 years old? Looks like it. I guess your list was too recent to be 'Modern' Dave. Sean
