Not talking about the album as a whole but that song specifically. Probably not his greatest album as a whole but that song is a masterpiece

Yeah very true. Weird how it's one of the more popular ones here as far as number of ratings go. Maybe because of the cool cover? Or maybe it used to have a review?

Another truth. You're right, I shouldn't have been surprised about that any more. Yet somehow this one struck me, so many ratings!

I don’t like the closer on this but the first 2 are quite strong

That's probably the best. Gentlemen is perfectly fine lyrically (one of my favourites) but the last 2 are incredible musically. And also, that proverb is amazing

Alagbon might be my fave as well, so ridiculously good. Many contenders though... 😍



That stretch from Shakara-Confusion is just tooooo good.

My favorites are this one, Afrodisiac, and the Ginger Baker record.

Nice picks too, and from those same early '70s, seems to be his most-liked era.

They were so unapologetic and full of energy. Unfortunately, I really do believe his mother's death knocked the wind out of his sails a little.

I'm not sure how you possibly pick somewhere to start with this guy, but here I began my (hopefully) epic journey and a good time was had



The t/t is a jam-and-a-half

Demon YESSS!!! Good idea. I'd say all of his early 70s work is worth it, especially those in the Open & Close-Excuse O stretch.



Alagbon Close might be my fave Fela, Shakara is amazing as well. But you can't go wrong with that period anyway.
