Alright, time for my vote. I'm gonna go with EWF. I'd never heard much by either band, but I now want to get something by both after hearing that (although I'd say these borderline on funk). What gives it to EWF are the harmonies; they are truly amazing. How does on go about getting that many great singers in one group? Also, dat bass.

and now for a score update!

@582944114- I'll let it slide this time, but its a forum rule that you need a little more reasoning than that.

And finally, a big congratulations to MrDayCee on becoming a forum moderator! Cheers!

I vote for EWF. They seem like they have a better vocal range, and their songs are catchier. The only song I like by the Commodores is Brick House, so that isn't enough for them to win my vote.

I am voting for EWF. I thought they were more interesting as far as lyrics go for me. I also agree with Waluigi that they do have some really fantastic harmonies as well.

EW&F. They had groovy music videos, groovy beats, groovy look and groovy lyrics.

Let's groove.

I have to admit that I don't know many things about these two bands. Their names are familiar to me, but I'm not sure if I have listened to some of their songs before.

As some pointed out, the voices of EWF harmonize really well. Besides, the melodies of their song seem happier and I love the horn section. It definitely gives a special vibe to the songs. These are the main reasons why I vote for this band. I can't say much about the lyrics because I can only understand a few words and today I'm too lazy to look them up on Google, sorry.

So my vote goes to EWF.

Update: talking to a friend of mine about the song Let's Groove. She claimed it's bad. I am seriously considering cutting this friendship because of that. Well that and she's also a *****.

I clicked on all the songs thinking that I didn't know most of them... turned out every EWF song was familiar to me, I just didn't know them by name!

So with that, I vote for EWF because their music has clearly survived the test of time much better than that of the Commodores!

When I listen to the Commodores, it just doesn't stick with me like EWF does. The Commodores do have that funky sound, but EWF is the funky sound. You just can't beat that.

My vote this round goes to Earth, Wind & Fire. The decision for me was elementary.

I could dance to EWF all night, assuming that I had a plan to disco dance or roller boogie all night. Shining Star captures the groove of the era better than almost any other song out there. When I listen to it, I feel like it's 1975 again, and I wasn't even born yet in 1975.
