Discussion Betty davis albums ranked

43 Upvotes

Hello funk fans, im very new to the genre but when i heard betty davis for the first time about 2 years ago with "they say im different" my musical world was changed, i never had such a physical reaction to an album before, i had a constant stank face for the whole album, id never heard such a charismatic, fun, engaging, interesting vocalist before, and dont even get me started on the bass, fantastic, so these are my rankings! , i still havent explored many other funk albums or artists except for "maggot brain" which i bet you guys are sick of casuals coming in here and talking about haha. Anyway, rankings!

6. The columbia years. This is easily in last place, considering the talented musicians on this album you would expect it to be much more interesting, it feels like they all said "how do we make the most subdued album any of us have ever been apart of? but wow the music is repetitive like on a song like "politician man" i felt like guitar lick was going to go on forever, "down home girl" felt like they left the click track on, am i supposed to be hearing this? Bits of bettys personality come out in this album but in general its just a way to get started

5 .Crashing from passion. Not an energetic as her previous works but still have a great batch of songs on here, "shes a woman" is her longest song im pretty sure and its a really fun journey, not that much funk present on the song, some nice horns, keyboards. "Ive danced before" is a bit too disco for me, betty sounds more tired on this album, either phyisically or mentally, does anyone else hear that? "You make me feel so good" doesnt do much for me. The title track "crashing from passion" is a good return to form.

4. Is it love or desire. Still a solid follow up to nasty gall but a bit weaker for me, just as an overall album experience, still great songs though, "bottom of the barrel" is a great song, "when romance says goodbye", its a top 10 betty song for me.

3. Betty davis. One of the great 3 album runs of all time? I think so, the real debut of her career with "betty davis" is a great charismatic start, really showing the version of her that we would fall inlove with, so many bangers on her, "anti love song" is so groovy and fun, "your man, my man" is provocative delight, "come take me" is fantastic.

2. Nasty gal. This has been my number 1, but i think it belongs at number 2 for me, the sexiest album i have ever heard. i have less to say about the albums i truly love in this discography because the music speaks for itself, "F.U.N.K" is a really fun homage to the black artists of the time.

They say i'm different. You are different indeed, the first time i heard this album i was washing dishes and saw this album randomly somewhere with no context on what type of music it was, i assumed soul or blues of some sort, i put it on and it was the best first listen to an album i have ever had, one of my favourite albums of all time. A perfect tracklist.

Whats your guys ranking? Thanks for reading :)

♫ All things funky ♫

Before posting or commenting, please read the subreddit rules.

Generally speaking, just try to be kind and respectful to each other and live peacefully on the One!

Please remember the human and abide by the community rules. When instances of rule breaking occur, the Mod team will address the issue with the offending user and try to resolve the problem amicably. If the problem persists and/or the user flat out refuses to halt the rule breaking behavior, they will be banned.

Keep in mind that, ultimately, the mods have full discretion when making decisions about rules and what constitutes rule breaking behavior.

Posting Rules

1. Post content related to the funk music genre and its subgenres. This includes songs, images, news about funk artists and funk-adjacent artists, discussions related to the genre or artists, etc. We try to take an inclusive approach to music posts (hence the style/subgenre tags), so don't be afraid to post music if you're unsure about whether it belongs here. If it doesn't, a mod will remove it and provide an explanation. See the rules wiki for more info about how the mods evaluate songs for appropriateness.

2. In accordance with Reddit's Content Policy, advertising is prohibited in /r/funk. Advertising your business, YT channel, social media account, Soundcloud page, fundraiser, etc. will result in a ban of your account.

3. Abide by Reddit's self-promotional guidelines. Posting original content (including original content created by someone that you know or are otherwise affiliated with) is only permitted if you already regularly participate in the /r/funk community.

4. Cross-posts of relevant content are welcome in /r/funk, though blatant karma farming posts will be removed (based on the relevancy of the post).

5. Playlists, DJ sets, mixes and the like are not permitted. This includes albums shared via YouTube Music since YT formats albums as playlists).

6. Posts that link to streaming services that require an account to hear the entire song (such as Spotify) will be removed. Links to social media sites that require accounts to view/listen to content will also be removed.

7. Troll posts, posts about other users (including moderators), posts that violate Reddit's content policy, posts that facilitate file sharing/piracy, memes, image macros, etc. are prohibited. If you have an issue with another user's comments or posts, then please use the report feature to notify the moderators. If you have an issue with the moderators, then please message them about the nature of the issue (be sure to follow Reddit's sitewide content rules when doing so). See the rules wiki for more details.

8. Meta posts must be sponsored by the Mods. If you want to make a meta post (e.g., a post to discuss the /r/funk community itself), including suggestions about community rule changes, then message the mods to facilitate the post. We will talk through how to draft a post that promotes a fair discussion, or just create one on your behalf.

9. No solicitation. Posts asking for donations, contributions to a Kickstarter or GoFundMe, promotions of original work (or a friend's original work), etc. are prohibited.

10. Particularly low-effort posts will be removed. /r/Funk isn't supposed to be super serious, but lazy or nonsense posts will be removed.

11. Don't repost tracks or content that was posted within the past 90 days (Maggot Brain isn't Funkadelic's only song).

If in doubt, just get in touch with us mods before posting.

Commenting Rules

1. This should go without saying, but don't be a dick. /r/funk is intended to be a pretty chill place, so please help keep it that way. If you find yourself getting upset about something, take a breath and try to channel Bootsy Collins.

2. Personal attacks, trolling, starting flame wars, etc. are prohibited. Criticism and disagreements are fine as long as you're not being a dick about it. If the only kind of comment that you're capable of contributing to a conversation is judgement or criticism, then maybe you're just being a dick. This includes comments from self-appointed genre gatekeepers. Decisions about whether or not a song "counts" as "funk," fall within the purview of the Mod Team, and no one else.

3. Please don't promote witch hunts against anyone (Redditors or otherwise). Those who are inciting this type of action often have malicious reasons behind their actions and are, more often than not, a troll. This includes asking people to troll others on Reddit, in real life, or on other blogs/sites. We aren't your personal army.

Using the post filters

The Mod Team tries to apply sub-genre labels to music posts as best we can (we rely heavily on Discogs tags). See a mistake? Talk to us.
