PrintableMan, I hate to be the one sittin' on the fence...Why yall makin' me choose??? --Damn!!! 
OK...if it was down to musicians, I'd go with P-Funk ...they had so many greats ...Eddie Hazel, Bernie Worrell, Bootsy, Maceo and Fred..etc....not to be fucked wit!!! On the other hand...when it comes down to songwriting and structure...I dunno, I guess Marcus Miller said it best..."Earth Wind and Fire...Man, they were like, Our Beatles...." (actually, I think the Beatles are everybodys Beatles, but I get his point...) .....so anyway, yeah, in that sense, I'd have to go with EWF..... (It's funny, they both did a version of the spiritual, "Open Our Eyes"--- Funkadelic originally did it as a B-side to one of their singles, while Earth Wind and Fire did the more stylish arrangement on their third Columbia album with the same name ...) I dunno, it depends... I guess I'm still in the middle  ....

As far as R&B/funk bands go,nobody compares to Earth Wind and Fire (in my opinion).As someone else pointed out,they are pretty much "the black Beatles" | |

It's funny, that's exactly what I thought of when Marcus Miller made his comment about EWF...I figured P-Funk would be the RS bad boys, to EWF's Beatles ....

They both great bands.
P-Funk had Bootsy, Bernie Worrell, Junie, Frankie Kash, Catfish Collins, Fred Wesley, Maceo Parker, Greg Boyer, Dennis Chambers, Skeet... Don't see Prince borrowing any ex EWF musicians. I 'll have more music to listen to since P-Funk put out more lps. Now HA!
hehe...I like messin' wit cha. | |
