Kool & The Gang will be in the R&RHOF ahead of Ohio Players.

Think about it. K&TG had 2 eras in the music history which were the horn-driven funk era AND the r&b/crossover pop era. Ohio Players only had one era.

You are correct sir. Their music even had a resurgence of sorts in the 90's, based on 'Jungle Boogie' being played in 'Pulp Fiction'. "Summer Madness' sampled on Will Smith joint. 'Sea Of Tranquility' interpolated by D'angelo on 'Send It On'. They just finished a successful tour run opening up 50 shows for Van Halen. 'Celebration' is still one of the most played songs anywhere. Sporting events, parties, political conventions. There's room for both, but they won't put that much funk in there. What about the Isley Brothers?

The Isley Brothers ain't in there yet? Wow!! (in my best Flava Flav impression)

Make that Flavor Flav.

Why not both?

Both groups have benn influential, irregardless of how bad their later works were, and both deserve to be in the RRHOP (BTW, just a little something to get off my chest: stupid haters of funk, disco and dance music can STFU and kiss my black ass for me about funk/rap/disco/dance/pop musicians/artists being in the RRHOP: Dinah Washington and others who aren't strictly 'rock & roll' are already in the RRHOF just for being influences on what we know as rock-if they can be there, so can the Ohio Players and Kool & The Gang!)
