Album Review
Though they have been around for nearly 40 years, the Four Tops were never stronger than during the '60s and early '70s. With a dozen Top 20 and five Top Ten hits, the Tops were just as their name implies. As part of their Millennium Collection, Motown has selected 11 of these hits for consideration as one of the pre-eminent groups of the era. From the trademark stylings of Holland-Dozier-Holland to a tune by Smokey Robinson (who himself once considered the Tops to be "the baddest group around"), this best-of set is pretty much what it says to be. Though a cover of "If I Were a Carpenter" and a hyper-produced version of Robinson's "Still Water (Love)" may not reach the reminiscent heights of "Reach Out I'll Be There" and "I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch)," the Tops' devotions to originally named girls like " (Walk Away) Renee" and "Bernadette" and their tales of love wanted, won, and lost easily make them one of the best-loved groups of the last century, if not the last millennium.

by RKL13I have to concur w/ fire_medic-these guys are cooler than the other side of your pillow, and even tho they were at the topof their game before i was born, i know songs like 'reac`h out', 'standing in the shadows', 'bernadette' and 'renee' are some of the most genius musical chunks of goodness to ever grace our ears...guys, put on some 'Tops when your lady comes over and-no matter how young or old she is- if she has any taste, musical or otherwise, its gonna be ON, son!
Wanna score?
by Fire_medicGentlemen,
If you want to prove to your 'other' that you are a thinking, feeling member of this planet and not just an I'll-listen-to-this-until-the-game-comes-on guy, then the Four tops is your group. Sorry, but I have to use those four words that make us guys cringe. But LISTEN TO THE LYRICS. The vocals are an example of the talent you needed to sound great before editing became a form of expression. Men: you will thank me for this friendly advice. And- dare I say-you will truly enjoy this music. The rest is up to you.
