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

Beastie Boys were great, heavily influenced by the beatles. Neither of which is my personal fav but cannot knock it. Solid. Grew up early 90’s listening to both. Good choice Treeless!

I will say ‘Sabotage’ is my all-time favorite music video.

They’re overplayed but I have a soft spot for Metallica. And Tool and Nirvana...

Besides ABBA?
hmmm.... that is a toughy.
So many great songs and singers and instrumental players.
One thing is certain, it is very tough to find anyone these last few decades that have anything lasting like below.

That's so funny - I remembered it faintly but couldn't place it. Blast from the past ...

"I've heard Eric Clapner, ... I think it was a wonderful thing that Eric Clapner the musician did...So I think that's the wonderful part about it, but listen - I like Eric Clapner!"
