I grew up on Motown music. My parents had everything from Stevie Wonder to the Jackson 5 Christmas Album.
Is this the most underappreciated era of music?

I think an argument could be made. Although it’s certainly not forgotten, Motown’s heyday was sandwiched between the 60’s’ “British Invasion” and the 70’s rock and rap.I grew up on Motown music. My parents had everything from Stevie Wonder to the Jackson 5 Christmas Album.

Awesome. Loved DH’s show. Never saw Smokey’s episode!
No, because it's not underappreciated.
Name me the radio stations that play Motown records regularly? Over the last 30 years I've lived in Pittsburgh, Baltimore, NYC, and a bunch of smaller places. I've never heard a Motown station like I do for classic rock or say "oldies" like the 4 seasons type..
How come we've heard modern bands in the last 25 years cover classic rock songs routinely with success, yet I can't remember anyone covering the Temptations, 4 Tops, Al Green, Sam Cooke? Maybe Michael Bolton covered them lol.
The Beatles covered Motown........ jus sayin’
White, Anglo Male Only?Some of you may remember WAMO AM radio.

Remember the ‘Jaggers’ from the Guip? The white knights with the brown sound. The best song ever written by Smoky- My girl.The call letters for radio station WAMO stood for the Allegheny, Monongahela and Ohio Rivers.
TrashMy favorite alt rock/indie band that covers some Motown songs is The Afghan Whigs. Outstanding....

That was an ad for WAMO FM in the late 70s. WAMO AM was popular in the late 60s during when Motown was at its zenith. That is when WAMO AM stood fo We Are Most Outstanding. At least a coding to Brother Matt.
