The Ohio Players

Give it up for one of the stankest, sloppiest, nastiest FUNK groups of All-Time

What are some of yall favorite O-H-I-O Players joints.

Mine are, in no order:

Skin Tight
Love Rollercoaster
Heaven Must Be Like This
Happy Hollidays
O-H-I-O
Fopp
Sweet Sticky Thing




Also, is their any chance for the Ohio Players making the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame.

Well, its time for Ms. Legs to add her twocents about her favorite Ohio Players cuts which are:

Fire
I Wanna Be Free
Love Rollercoaster
Funky Worm
Skin Tight
O-H-I-O


And to answer your question about my boys making into the RNRHOF, I will beleive it when I see it. It seems to me that there is only some much funk that the commitee wants to allow in the place b/c so far the only Funk artist that have got in have been JB,Prince, P-Funk. The Commitee has turned a blind eye to other Funk artists like Rick James which is long overdue and the Bar-Kays.

The remake of "Fire" was weak and pointless, though.

I was excited it. But it was the 80s by then. I was never really thought Zapp and the Ohio Players was a good fit. "I Will Be Your Star" was pretty cool, though. However, I was a little bit let down by the whole LP.

Yep. "I Will Be Your Star" was cool. I kinda dug the thought of Roger getting with LeRoy, but...it ended up being like George Clinton with Prince. Kinda sorry. Hold on to Sugar's lp. It's worth some bread.
