These are the ones that I feel fall under-the-radar and yet to this day, I will listen to a song of theirs the whole way through. I understand that my musical “tastes” differ very much from yours and I’m fine with that.
Jodeci: Some of the truest baby-making music known to man.
Neil Young: Just seems like the forgotten classic rocker – I don’t feel he gets enough dap.
The Bee Gees: I know it’s cool to rip on popular music acts, but these cats were way more influential than you realize.
Montell Jordan: Has many hits on the urban circuit, but this is the one that speaks to me
Ready For The World: Like I always say, what’s good for the goose is always good for the gander.
That’s it for the day, folks. I want you to have a good evening and perhaps if you see a loved one, give them a kiss and hug and tell them ol’ Clown said hello. Feel free to leave your underrated musicians in the comments. Don’t worry, we won’t say it’s faggy or anything like that – we already think you’re limp-wristed.
Your opinion is wrong, it is not possible these people influenced you.

My Top 5 Underrated Artists
5. The Rolling Stones
4. Madonna
3. Michael Jackson
2. Elvis Presley
1. The Beatles
/TBL’d
I don’t understand how we’re friends…at all.
Yeah, if you count all the things they ripped off from NFG.
I always forget that people from Flint, MI have British accents.
My Top 5:
5a. UTFO (The Police’s Roxanne was a hacky ripoff of these guys)
5b. Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam (like a combination of a cute Janet Jackson and the raw sexuality of Mrs. Huxtable)
4. Mint Condition (song makes me think of Hef on the beach at the MLJ Mehqsiko Casa de Beach)
3. Stevie B. (Clown and I have our reasons for loving this one. Let’s just leave it at that…)
2. Hi-Five (playing this song could take you from under the shirt/over the bra to playing tune in tokyo with the neighbor girl)
2. New Edition (I was like Michael Scott playing “Goodbye My Lover” over and over when Carrie broke my heart)
1. Bobcat (seriously, watch it and really feel the sweet, not-at-all-forced rhymin’. spence will want to play an acoustic guitar version of this.)
/I wish we could start ova, when you used to have a Nova’d
//enjoy your death cab, hef
apparently there was a tie for 2nd place. hard to argue with that…
YOUK!!!!
Very nice list, Rexy. Personally I would’ve gone with Unconditional Love (because of the Menace II Society link) and All Cried Out (because of the Full Force cameo), but your choices are certified panty droppers as well.
I’m not going to comment on any of the R&B because I’m white, but I will comment on Neil Young. He is one of the most overrated pieces of crap in all of classic rock. His voice is terrible, and his songs aren’t anything special. You say he doesn’t get enough dap (whatever that is), I say he gets too much!
Well, then!
/adjusts tie, marches off
