I loved Karen Carpenter. Her voice was like honey!   "Love Hurts. Your lies, they cut me. Now your words don't mean a thing. I don't give a damn if you ever loved me..." -Cher, "Woman's World" | |

The Carpenters by far. Andy is a four letter word. | |

Da mamas and da papas was a funny name for a group 
I'll take The Carpenters though. I'm in the construction business | |

But seriously folks. The Carpenters. "The first time I saw the cover of Dirty Mind in the early 80s I thought, 'Is this some drag queen ripping on Freddie Prinze?'" - Some guy on The Gear Page | |

The Carpenters I now present unto you an original person, one that is able to rationalize and make decisions that utilize intellectual significance. Yes, this person is on the endangered species list. - Patsheart April 2, 2009 | |

I love Karen's voice and The Carpenter's songs always make me go  lol while The Mamas and Papas songs have such a happy feeling about them. I'll vote for The Carpenters for Karen.I've lost the use of my heart, But I'm still alive, Still looking for the life, The endless pool on the other side, It's a wild wild west, I'm doing my best, I'm a soldier of love, Every day and night, I'm soldier of love, All the days of my life. | |

What he said. I can think of two Carperter's songs I enjoy and even then I've got to limit it. In spite of the recent news, I'll still take The Mamas and The Papas any day.  "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

I was wondering if the Carpenters were winning by a landside because of what MacKenzie said.

Either that or Orgers just dig their sap. [Edited 10/23/09 23:00pm] "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

The one thing they couldn't do was covers of rock songs ("Beechwood 4-5789", "Please Mr. Postman", "Dancing in the Street", etc.) real well. Otherwise, they were OK, lol. I wanted to say neither and just say MAMA CASS and DENNY DOHERTY!
John & Michelle were just for show.  | |

funny because i kinda started this thread trying to think of the two bands that would be the complete opposite of anything posted in this forum
u never know  | |

I like both of them well enough, though I'm no expert on either band. I have one greatest hits album from each. I actually happened to listen to the M&P comp yesterday, and I genuinely enjoyed every track on it. I certainly couldn't say the same thing about the Carpenters compilation I have, but I do think their best songs achieve a sort of easy-listening genius. Karen Carpenter's vocals were always very clear, dry & understated; I think that's the quality that raised them above the rest of the 70s-era MOR acts. | |
