Title: Groundbreaking and revolutionary music you can dance to
Product review: Imagine how different music would've been without Sly and the Family Stone. There'd be no Prince, no Michael Jackson, and most of all no disco. The music changed the world as we know it, and put revolutionary politics into funk music. And unlike many other "essential" albums, this one more than lives up to its hype. The music itself is some of the greatest dance music ever recorded. The band has incredible harmony. This is certainly a mixture of the music of the past and the future. Sly took R&B and soul, made it heavier and psychadelic with more random tempo changes, which paved the way for 70s funk and disco. The songs also had political messages. "Don't Call Me Nigger Whitey" and "Everyday People" both are anti-racist songs. Before Sly fell into drug addiction and medocrity (post-"Fresh"), he made some fantastic music. While this isn't as great as "There's A Riot Going On", its still a funk essential.
