That abrasive B3 organ sound that was Booker T's signature still sounds amazing.
Admittedly there's probably more Motown Records that I would prefer to listen to than Stax, but based on business integrity and overall creativity Stax is the hands down winner.
Such a good response, much better then what i tried to write in response.

I'm partial to Otis and Wilson personally so that pushes me to agree with you Satch

I'll take the easy way out work blue and say: Asking Stax or motown is like saying would you like oral on every Tuesday or Wednesday?


Can't I have both?

If you're posting in the music forums make sure to be thoughtful and expressive, if you're posting in the lounge ask yourself "is this something that adds to the conversation?" It's important to remember that a lot of people use each thread. You're probably not as funny or clever as you think, I know I'm not.
