should they let em rest in peace or continue to clutter up the charts with pap that was most likely too naff to put out when they were still alive so why now when they die?

i dunno, 'you know you're right' is kinda ok...can you list some examples of songs released after their maker(s) died that are actually good/great tho? esp. on the hip hop/r n b side...everything they put out by 2Pac and Biggie was pretty poor...i guess many of you like Aaliyah's 'More Than A Woman' but i was never endeared to it (too much of a rip of SWV)...Marley's 'Iron Lion Zion' doesnt fare much better...anyone?

Beatles 'Real Love' grew on me but only about 2 years after it came out...hmmm, maybe the Lennon stuff is ok...and i liked 'A Little Less Conversation' at first and i believe that was previously unreleased

Well, "Love Will Tear Us Apart" was posthumous, so that has to be allowed.

Janis Joplin's Pearl
Otis Redding's "(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay"

I'm listening to the first single from George Harrison's upcoming posthumous album, "Stuck Inside a Cloud" right now. First listen, but it's not bad. The mix is weird, but it's not bad at all.

Post-hummus releases: Classic or Dud?

Dud, because post-hummus = post-apocolypse. no world could or should survive without hummus.

Y'know, for a dead girl, that Aaliyah doesn't half get about.

post-humous = post-humour.

Lennon's "Nobody Told Me" is one of my favorite songs by him--I'm not sure why exactly I love it so much, but I do.
