What's Going On
Marvin Gaye ·1971
"What's Going On by Marvin Gaye, start to finish, the sequence is crazy. Every song sounds like it was just one song, like the whole thing, it's a complete album. I recommend anybody to listen to this start to finish because it has a lot of moving parts to it and it sounds so cohesive."
