32. Uptown Top Ranking: Althea & Donna

Aw, shit, PF500, a reggae section? Really?

This is a perfectly nice summertime-drink-on-the-porch-during-the-day kinda lazy reggae song. Female vocals. Some nice percussive effects.

I read on wikipedia that this song hit # 1 in the UK, which makes me happy; it's nice to see that a song like this could do that. It's just soo pleasant.

Most songs go wrong in some way, have some flaw, even the ones that make up for it with the positives. This song goes wrong nowhere. It's almost aggressively non-wrong. Every song starts at about 60. It does nothing to add or detract from that score.

Rating: 60

OK with it: kinda, for historical/representative reasons
