I'm only 20. I knew the dudes were really good but not as good as they actually are.

Ok. U are in for a treat then.

What are their best albums? Where should I start? How would you rank their entire discography?

Honestly................I'd get them all.

The "best" was probably the one with Burn Rubber on it.

I know The Ohio Players, Dazz Band, and The Isley Brothers albeit by therir most successful and prolific songs but there's a few lesser known tunes of their's that I know (at least The Isley Brothers). I see Cameo (who I'm not familiar with at all) get compared to GAP Band on here as well. Mint Condition I've heard their cover of EWF's "Love's Holiday" and liked it, PFunk and Bootsy I have no idea who they are and Donny Hathaway I've heard occasional mention from the mom. I'll check them out some time.

Be prepared 4 a musical journey.

The order of release.

You're 40 years late for the trip.

Better late than never.............

Start with the "Charlie, Last Name Wilson" era!

Bad move...........totally different artist after the GAP. TOTALLY.

Do yourself an even bigger favor and check out the "Gap Band Live & Well" CD.

This is one of those live concerts that you can listen to over and over!!! I'd rank this CD right up there with the "Jacksons Live!"
