Force MD's Greatest Hits!
My younger brother put me on to this to this CD, as I had most of there hits. On different tapes and disc. I think this puts there 5 to 6 year gathering into a good perspective. Right up to track 11 or 12 it's straight butter. It loses its zest after that. But Auld Lang Syne. Puts the end into the right perspective. As a real talented crew ran its coarse, although you can't put them into any one category there place in black music history is niched. Whether Hip Hop, R&B, or quiet storm. There music was influential. I liked it then and I love it now.

I usually don't like greatest hits albums but...
this one takes the cake. Most greatest hits albums are hastily thrown together grab bags of a bands most famous songs. But this one, it really gets ya. I don't know what it is but every time I here tender love i think back to 1990 when me and my friends sat on the porch of my friend A's house, snapping our fingers and trying to be the FMDs so we could get the girls (lol). Love is a House is also very nostalgic... That song embodies what I think of when I think back to the good ole days in NYC. It is upbeat with a great tempo and the vocals go without saying. It is also a timeless story that we have all been through before, unfortunately. The track with the fat boys is another all time classic that will get any party jumpin. All in all, it is a great buy. A lot of people compare them to Full Force, Jammin' TA, or New Edition but once you really listen to the FMDs you'll appreciate how different and ahead of their time they were. Sadly, the story of the FMDs is another story of genius and talent that left us far too early.

Legends....
In this day and age when every "R&B" song has to have a rapper an hip-hop DJ to make a 'track,' this what music was all about. Too bad people don't make it like this anymore. Those who try don't get heard unless they pay the urban radio station monopolies cash to put them on their p(l)ay lists.

The Force MD's goes way back. Many people think they got their start as singers, but they were also a part of the first hip-hop rappers when they were known as the Force MC's. So they go back.

I am just waiting for the return of the day when ANY R&B singer can come out with their vision and play actual instruments. I hope I won't be 50 when that happens!

These Guys Could Sing For Real
I knew I had to buy this CD. I was 20 when Force MDs came on the scene in '84, and their music was the soundtrack of my young adulthood. Listening to their beautiful voices remind me how much I detest post 1990 music. This CD is a must for anyone who wants to hear what great harmonies sounded like back in the '80s.

Fall in love all over again
Don't sleep on this CD or this group. I recently saw the Force MD's in Columbus, OH and they reminded me what true R&B really is. I was literally brought to tears. I was an adolescent when they first came out, but I'm grateful I had the opportunity to enjoy them as an adult. The passion these artists have for their craft comes through beautifully in their voices. Their place in the music industry cannot be denied. Current artists could learn a few things from this group. Thank you for blessing us with your music.
