ANY WAR FANS OUT THERE????

I think they are one of the great underrated superbands of the 1970s. They have a totally unique sound and I think they have aged very well. What do you think?

Here's my top 10:

Slippin' Into Darkness
Heartbeat
Get Down
Cisco Kid
Me and Baby Brother
The World Is a Ghetto
Peace Sign
Lowrider
Gypsy Man
Galaxy

Peace,
Scott

"All Day Music" (1970)
"Slippin Into Darkness" (1971)
"The World Is A Ghetto" (1973)
"Me and Baby Brother" (1974)
"Why Can't We Be Friends" (1975)
"So" (1975)
"Don't Let No One Get You Down" (1975)
"Summer" (1976)
"Galaxy" (1978)
"Outlaw" (1982)
"Baby It's Cold Outside" (1982)
"The Jungle medley" (1982)
"U.B.O.K." (1994)



"Summer" is probably my favorite War song.Takes me right back to the summer of 1976.But I pretty much like all of their 70s singles.And they did some good stuff in the 80s too....their 1982 album 'Outlaw' is really underrated.They bounced back in 1994 with a strong,consistent album 'Peace Sign'.

Yes. WAR is a fave of mine. "Slippin Into To Darkness" is one of the hardest hitting, darkest, and most realistic cuts to come out of that period. That and "The World Is A Ghetto".
