1. Marvin Gaye

2. Earth, Wind, & Fire

3. Parliament-Funkadelic

4. Stevie Wonder

5. Led Zepplin

6. The Jackson 5

7. Santana

Why don't The Jacksons count? Their 1st record came out in 1969 (1967 if you count the Steeltown stuff). Rick James also first recorded in the 1960's.

The Jackson's. Not the Jackson 5. The Jackson's. You know when they left Motown and changed their style and name? Also Rick's first released album came out in 1978 so most of his material was made in a the 80's.

These were my favorites in the 70's

Bowie

Queen

T Rex

Donna Summer

The Who

The Rolling Stones

Frank Zappa

1) David Bowie

2) Stevie Wonder

3) Bob Dylan

4) Sly & The Family Stone

5) Curtis Mayfield

6) Marvin Gaye

7) The Jackson 5

1) Stevie Wonder

7) Elton John

Sly & The Family was also a good one that I actually liked at the time.

Marvin Gaye I did not get into until later. In the 80's I bought a ton of Marvin Gaye while everyone else was buying Prince & MJ. I had catching up to do I guess.

It's the same group. Not really any different than The Temptations, Genesis, Journey, Fleetwood Mac, Steely Dan, New Edition, Rolling Stones, and many other groups that changed members.

David Bowie

Black Sabbath

Stevie Wonder

Fleetwood Mac

Alice Cooper

Kiss

The Ramones

They changed 1 member, their stlye (physically and musically), their name (slighly), and their record company. It sounds like a different band to me

1. Stevie Wonder

2. Marvin Gaye

3. James Brown

4. Earth, Wind & Fire

5. Sly & The Family Stone

6. Curtis Mayfield

7. ...hard one! (tie between WAR and Rufus & Chaka)

3.) Parliament Funkadelic

4.) Todd Rundgren

The Beatles started out with She Loves You. So basically you're saying the Sgt. Pepper era is a different band. They changed their fashion style and musical sound. Gladys Knight and the Pips recorded for several different labels. That doesn't make them a different group. Going from your list, both Santana and Earth Wind & Fire changed members several times in the 1970's. So they shouldn't count either by your criteria. Funkadelic and Parliament is pretty much the same group under different names on two different labels. The Moments/Ray Goodman & Brown is also the same group under two different names and so is Maxayn/Mandre. How about The Time/Original Time Band/Original 7ven or Prince/The Artist?

If you add all together. Not seperating each. Adding all together. Remove one of the things I listed and it doesn't fit the criteria and therefore the same band. Can we just stop this. I don't want to be apart of my first flame war

Here we go....The Jackson Five and The Jacksons war again. UGH! Clearly it is the same band. Stylistically, the sound of the group changed way before they moved from Motown to CBS/Epic Records. Just listen to the post-1972 work on Motown: G.I.T.: Get It Together, Dancing Machine, and Moving Violation. In fact, their 1976 debut for Epic, The Jacksons is an extension of what they did on Moving Violation. Listen very closely to the sounds of those album...The Jackson Five and The Jacksons, they are the same band dammit! Stop it...

Y'all almost make me wanna say "fuck the Jacksons". Anyway.

I've been listening to Motor Booty Affair and One Nation Under A Groove

Yeah One Nation is the ONE! Wow we're on the subject of that record, anybody have the 2002 Priority remaster of this album? Anybody else have a problem with "Lunchmeatophobia (Think!...It Ain't Illegal Yet!)" skipping or having a scratchy noise throughout the cut on the CD or was that the way it was intended to sound on the original EP of the LP? Random question...but I was curious!
