Kool and the Gang or The Commodores? Go

[Shawn@PRS]

Which band and why?

 

[Tosca]

You don’t really have to choose...they are on tour together this summer.
I’ll take Earth Wind and Fire.

 

[Lister]

Commodores.
Why? Brick House baby!

Ow, she's a brick house
She's mighty-mighty, just lettin' it all hang out
She's a brick house
That lady's stacked and that's a fact
Ain't holding nothing back
Ow, she's a brick house
Well put-together, everybody knows
This is how the story goes

She knows she got everything
That a woman needs to get a man, yeah, yeah
How can she lose with the stuff she use
Thirty-six, twenty-four, thirty-six oh what a winning hand

'Cause she's a brick house
She's mighty-mighty, just lettin' it all hang out
She's a brick house
Ow, that lady stacked and that's a fact
Ain't holding nothing back
Ow, she's a brick house

Yeah, she's the one, the only one, built like an amazon
The clothes she wears, her sexy ways
Make an old man wish for younger days, yeah, yeah
She knows she's built and knows how to please
Sure enough to knock a strong man to his knees

'Cause she's a brick house
Yeah, she's mighty mighty, just lettin' it all hang out
She's a brick house
The lady's stacked and that's a fact
Ain't holding nothing back

Shake it down, shake it down now
Shake it down, shake it down now
Shake it down, shake it down now
Shake it down, shake it down now
Shake it down, shake it down now
Shake it down, shake it down now
Shake it down, shake it down now
Shake it down, shake it down now

Brick house
Yeah, she's mighty mighty, just lettin' it all hang out
She's a brick house
Yeah, she's the one, the only one, built like an amazon, yeah

Shake it down, shake it down, shake it down now
Shake it down, shake it down, shake it down now
Shake it down, shake it down, shake it down now
Shake it down, shake it down, shake it, shake it
Shake it down, shake it down, shake it down now
Shake it down, shake it down, shake it down now
Shake it down, shake it down, shake it down now
Shake it down, shake it down, shake it

Ow, a brick house

Tough call, I gotta go with my gut and say Kool & the Gang though... but it’s close.

 

[jxe]

kool because

and commodores get points off for ‘three times a lady’.

 

[sergiodeblanc]

and commodores get points off for ‘three times a lady’.

Cherish kinda cancels that out though, right?

 

[JustRob]

and commodores get points off for ‘three times a lady’.

I take points off The Commodores because the stench of "Say You, Say Me" taints everything.

 

[jxe]

unfair to count lionel’s solo stuff against the commodores, because of ‘endless love’. FATALITY

I take points off The Commodores because the stench of "Say You, Say Me" taints everything.

 

[AP515]

Commodores because the girl that took me to their concert in 1980 was HOT!

 

[toothace]

Commodores... for the solo guitar tone on "Easy"

 

[Huggy Love]

Niether, both became way too pop.
P Funk all the way.

P Funk or Cameo?

 

[Huggy Love]

P Funk or Cameo?

That would be tough cause Cameo was so dope, but P-Funk had a much bigger imprint on the music world.
Still gotta love Larry Blackmon and all his "OWWWW"s and "Say What"s.

 

[Shawn@PRS]

Still gotta love Larry Blackmon and all his "OWWWW"s and "Say What"s.

... and his cod piece

 

[sergiodeblanc]

P Funk or Cameo?

Are we talkin’ Shake Your Pants or Word Up era?

 

[Huggy Love]

... and his cod piece

I tried not to look down below his waist and concentrated more on the girls I was dancing with............... hey, it was a spandex pants booty era.

 

[Huggy Love]

Are we talkin’ Shake Your Pants or Word Up era?

Two definitely different acts and you can't forget about that transition time when they put out "She's Strange" "Attack me with your love" and "Single Life", even though the later period was so huge, I still think "Alligator Woman" is one of the most unique songs ever written.

I think U gotta take them as a whole.

 

[Huggy Love]

Gotta love the fashion statements, and anybody that can put "your big behind, it makes me blind" in a song is a great lyricist.

 

[Steve's addiction]

Kool and the gang lot of jazzy overtones in their songs

 

[walrus]

Kool and P-funk!
