I always tell people that while I don't know how sexual identity is formed in humans, when I saw the Honey cover and Mona from Car Wash, I <i>knew</i> I was straight, jack. Not coincidentally, I'm pretty sure I thought those two were the same woman. Now if you wanna count when I got older, maybe 8 or 9, it was all about Skin Tight for me. Everything. The pulchritudinous chocolate sister on the album cover, the title track, Jive Turkey, Heaven Must Be Like This... Sugarfoot 'nem was killin it. Although for real-for real, it was all about Billy Beck and that super perm. A funny story about Honey…so I was, like, 2 when it came out.

My college roommate is from Cincinnati, so I'm partial to O-H-I-O. You have to put Honey on the list just because it is the title cut of the greatest album cover art, ever. Pain was the first OP song I ever heard, on KGFJ-AM 1230, and I was hooked. I already wanted to play the sax, but that song made me want to play the piano and the "trumpet" (later learned that PeeWee was playing the flugelhorn) too. I love Ecstacy as well. I was in the eighth grade, hoping some girl would notice me enough to want to give me a chance. Songs then gave a brother a chance to romance a young lady (at least in his fantasies) without being crude or rude. Honey was released in the fall of my 10th grade year, (which is when you started high school in LA City in the 70's). Coincidently, it was my brother's senior year, and he was an all around popular guy, so I could just find my groove in his wake. Starting out with Rollercoaster, going through Fopp, of course Sweet Sticky Thang (tremendous sax work), and the ultimate crying song of it's era, I Don't Wanna be Alone. That was a hell of a year, and a coming out year for me personally. The Honey LP is just below Songs in the Key of Life and Off the Wall in terms of sheer volume of original, high quality songs.

I was trippin off that part just the other day. Actually, lookin at the list a few hours removed, I see that I'm trippin. Climax and Funky Worm should probably be counted as one song. Pain should be on there, as should There It Is/Far East Mississppi. What was I on? No jive, Pain should definitely be up there, for the exact reasons you mentioned.
