Favorite song

For me "Soon"(bw to "Show me") is the most expert thing ever recorded by anyone ever.In this version right from the opening hammond until the final words have been sung by Rowland, it has everything I need from music.Passion, energy and real soul.I knew from the moment I heard it that my life would never be the same again.

Favorite album

Searching for the young soul rebels.
What an introduction!
The best debut album ever, the most soulful and passionate.It has everything.I urge everyone to go out there and find a copy, I can't explain what this means to me fully.Only that if you know what believing in the soul means then you will believe in this album.
