... when it comes to Soul, Funk and Reggae music? Seems most mention their Pink Floyd, Led Zepp and other rock driven albums. I seem to be the only one who's a follower of the cool souls sounds and mod related artists.
Am I in a minority...

I'm not a rock fan myself although I do listen to a wide variety of music.
Soul and Jazz would be my most listened to.

I quite like Funk but Soul tends to leave me somewhat cold and Reggae is the biggest pile of over-rated, repetitive, unimaginative crap in music history.
Having said that I can't stand Pink Floyd either and most popular 70s rock is horrible as well. Led Zep are alright though.

Wh is it "guilty..."?
I've had an evening of Club Classics on heart Radio, interspersed with Craig Charles 'Soul and Funk' show on Radio BBC6 and BBC radio 2 'Dance Years. Bliss.
the production on alot of reggea albums from the 70's & 80's are more than a match for rock productions of the same period...
Soul/funk/reggea ain't nuttun to be ashamed of baby, nuttun at all.....

That and 'Body Talk' reminds me of fair grounds from the early 80s.
So early Stevie Wonder, Curtis Mayfield, Donny Hatherway.... don't appeal to you?

That's why I said "interspersed" in that post. personally I think Craig is a complete EDITED.

Was a big soul fan in the 80's... Used to spend my hard earned cash at Bluebird records off the Edgware Road every month and spent many a night at the Hammersmith Odeon watching the likes of Luther Van Dross, Temptations, Alexander O'Neal, SOS Band and Lilo Thomas. Still have some of their CD's, but more into smooth Jazz nowadays.

Love Stevie Wonder.
I had the popular "Hotter than July" and the lesser known "Journey through the secret life of plants."

I used to listen to a soul show on Radio Orwell in the late 80's when I lived near Ipswich, I think the DJ was Buster Brooker (who turned out to be a bit of a rogue!) but I haven't listened to much recently, although I do catch Craig Charles' show every now and then. I really must listen to more, thanks for the prompt PP 8)
Good stuff.
With my siblings being a lot older I was brought up on Motown, Stax, Kinks, The Who, Small Faces... and became a little obsessed in the late 70s with Ska and Jazz/Funk acts of the day, as well as the real classic albums.
That said, I would say most of my albums/singles are still pop/rock orientated, with the likes of Lindisfarne, Andrew Gold, Rupert Holmes, Manfred Mann's Earth Band, as well as a few Zepp albums, Rainbow (Rainbow Rising), Status Quo (Dandruff era) or before Alan Lancaster left. And still one of my favourite albums is Thin Lizzy 'Live and Dangerous'. Wicked.
