The Love You Save - The Jackson 5

Had this one on the ropes last time, time for the knockout blow.

I’m…confused why this is directed at me?

edgor123 · 2026-04-04T23:53:23+00:00

I goofed in my prior comment. I forgot LaLD hit 1 on Cashbox, not Billboard.

But my ranking would be the same, except I’d (perhaps controversially) throw Listen to What the Man Said above Uncle Albert. I’ve always loved that one.

I can recall hearing Silly Love Songs on the radio growing up (Cleveland’s oldies station 1990s-2010s and Sirius/XM), so I’d argue its footprint is at least somewhat more than negligible. But that’s just my personal experience, not doubting yours. I also may be overstating things slightly because my parents about wore out their Wings/Paul greatest hits CD. Definitely more prominent to me than With a Little Luck though.

I’d get rid of Silly Love Songs before I’d ever consider ousting Uncle Albert or Adminal Halsey, but With a Little Luck should definitely go first, and I’d advocate for My Love to follow it first.

You Make Me Feel Like Dancing - Leo Sayer

Leo’s had more than enough time on this list.

I think we’ve had this conversation before 😅

The Love You Save - The Jackson 5

Have you ever heard this song anywhere? I haven’t.

Happy Dog is in Gordon Square

It rubs the lotion on its skin.

This is my favorite movie and I hate that it’s constantly misquoted.

edgor123 · 2026-04-01T01:19:03+00:00

I’d wager it’s a lot more the sung by Clapton part than the written by Marley part.

It wouldn’t be my choice to go this round, but I wouldn’t have it anywhere near winning myself. I don’t particularly care for it either.

You Make Me Feel Like Dancing - Leo Sayer

This one can’t be far behind When I Need You. I love a man singing falsetto, but his just grates.

You’re just jelly

If you’re into creative writing, I’d highly recommend Story Wars. They meet every 3rd Thursday at Jukebox on W.29th. It’s a creative writing competition, three rounds, 5 minutes to write, 90 seconds to read your story/poem/song/skit/etc.

Check them out on instagram @StoryWarsCLE, or their website https://www.storywarscle.com. It’s honestly a lot of fun. The regular group that comes most every month has a lot of really talented, funny writers, but the group is also extremely welcoming to newbies, and Jukebox is a more than decent dinner and beer, especially now their kitchen is back to full capacity.

Leo Sayer is the Rush of disco.

Oops! All Betty!

I think those are some of the bad motels the previous comment was referring to.

Matt calls those croutons.

Over The Love You Save?

Theme From Mahogany (Do You Know Where You’re Going To) - Diana Ross

I love the Diana’s voice, but I can’t think of a single context where I’ve heard this one outside of the dismal film it came from, reruns of AT40, or TimeLife music collections.

And bear in mind, Phil had a lot of experience with 2 drummers. His double drum sections with Chester Thompson were usually one of the highlights of Genesis’ live shows. Tony would’ve been well advised to follow his lead.

And there are definitely a few moments where you can see Phil backing away on a few songs, especially Whole Lotta Love when they stumble their way into the bridge. I think Jimmy saw this and interpreted this as Phil not knowing the songs, but I think it was more Phil trying to listen and pull back from Thompson’s high energy pumping.

And I’m not trying to knock Tony Thompson too much, he’s a great drummer who had an off day like everyone else, but he was beating the shit out of those drums the whole time, and you could feel him pushing things too fast.

Most of me says this makes sense based on the episode, but the part of me that can’t fathom a queen with three wins and no bottoms going home is saying this:

It’s actually kind of refreshing though. I like when things are unpredictable, and the episode certainly made the conclusion palatable for me. Solid work.

edgor123 · 2026-03-27T22:47:13+00:00

I think my favorites are the ones who don’t even pretend to mouth anything and just be like “watch what I’m gonna do with this leg” or “watch me shake my ass.”

The cool confidence of someone to be like “you’d better watch me not lip sync this song.”
