If you had to pick only ONE great band or musical group of the past 50 years who would it be?

Posted on 07/10/2020 8:18:42 PM PDT by Bigtigermike

I love all kinds of music and I know everyone’s taste of music is different but if forced to pick only one group since 1970 that was awesome, encompassed uniqueness and range and just fun music overall it would be Earth Wind & Fire. I just loved how they mixed R&B, Jazz, Soul, Pop, Latin and Disco and had lyrics to many of their songs that had meaning and message. Maurice White was a genius and his instrumental arrangements for the bands top hits was bar none. Great Car music

‘That’s the Way of the World’ ‘

Fantasy’

‘Reasons’

Getaway’

‘After the Love is Gone’

‘Serpentine Fire’

‘Shining Star’

‘Can’t hide Love’

Boogie Wonderland’

‘Gratitude’....etc

I have loved Phil Keaggy since I first heard him, and still feel that his music is excellent.

Lately I have been listening to Passenger, but have deleted the songs with words that my grandchildren shouldn't hear - or me either.

Are these guys great? Phil probably is, and Passenger is too young to say.

Genesis. The unbelievable dynamics of that band live makes listening to their recordings a disappointment.

The greatest singing group of all time, outside of that Heavenly Choir
The Sons of the Pioneers
Still making great music after damn near 90 years and about 50 different members.

The Beatles broke up around 1970 but their solo careers were also sensational.

George Harrison- example All Things Must Pass

Paul McCarthy and Wings

John Lennon to a lessor degree

Even Ringo scored some top ten hits
