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

Beatles.

CCR a close second.

Since solo artists/duos aren’t included I feel a bit limited.

Oh, wait. 50 years? That only goes beck to 1970 then.

Given that I would go with The Who or maybe Dire Straits.

Yep, Terry Kath was a force.

That ain’t the sappy 80’s Chicago there.

A ridiculous question to ask. There is no One Group or Performer that is the be-all and end-all.
But, my choice to humor you is Aerosmith. And, it is based on one song. DREAM ON. That song is inspirational on so many levels.
