Commodores - 3
Earth Wind & Fire - 2

Not paticularly bacobit why do you like the song would be better.... or a more general statement about he band rather than a small aspect of it.

earth wind and fire has more variety, I think. they have a certain way of being funkier than the commodores.

[quote=delossantosj]the commodores. brick house is like my lifes theme song[/quote]

[quote=bacobit]Because brick house is an amazing song. There, happy[/quote]

And delossantosj's vote counts???

I have never heard an Earth Wind and Fire song that I didn't like. Commodores can get a bit old sometimes.

Commodores - 3
Earth Wind & Fire - 3

And delossantosj's vote counts???

O.k. we a new vote, like now or I might cry.

Earth Wind & Fire all the way!!!!

O.k. we a new vote, like now or I might cry.

Earth Wind & Fire all the way!!!!

By seconding this suggestion, I have no other way than to give my vote for it!! =D

And allthough it's a difficult one, I choose The Commodores to get my vote!

Why? you might ask... 0_o

Because of the one awesome song forgotten to get posted as an example!!!

Have a look at this video and tell me you don't like them...

The Commodores - Nightshift

Marvin, he was a friend of mine
And he could sing a song
His heart in every line
Marvin sang of the joy and pain
He opened up our minds
And I still can hear him say
Aw talk to me so you can see
What's going on
Say you will sing your songs
Forevermore (evermore)

Gonna be some sweet sounds
Coming down on the nightshift
I bet you're singing proud
Oh I bet you'll pull a crowd
Gonna be a long night
It's gonna be all right
On the nightshift
Oh you found another home
I know you're not alone
On the nightshift

Jackie (Jackie), hey what'you doing now
It seems like yesterday
When we were working out
Jackie (Jackie, oh) you set
The world on fire
You came and gifted us
Your love it lifted us
Higher and higher
Keep it up and
We'll be there
At your side
Oh say you will sing
Your songs forevermore (evermore)

Gonna be some sweet sounds
Coming down on the nightshift
I bet you're singing proud
Oh I bet you'll pull a crowd
Gonna be a long night
It's gonna be all right
On the nightshift
Oh you found another home
I know you're not alone
On the nightshift

Gonna miss your sweet voice
That soulful voice
On the nightshift
We all remember you
Ooh the songs are coming through
At the end of a long day
It's gonna be okay
On the nightshift
You found another home
I know you're not alone
On the nightshift

earth wind and fire easy it has the elements not to say that they r just flat out AWESOME

I see that Ernie has renewed interest in this thread. That is good to see.

It is a very hard decision. But I'll have to go with Earth, Wind & Fire they are arguably one of the greatest artists in rock and roll history, they were "innovative, precise yet sensual, calculated yet galvanizing", as Rolling Stone magazine put it, and they changed the face of black R&B in the 70's. They're the seventh-highest selling AAmerican group of all-time, selling over 90 million albums (wow!), and you've got to be great if that many people like you. And, in 2000, their greatness was recognized when they got inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

I see that Ernie has renewed interest in this thread. That is good to see.

The current score is:

Earth Wind & Fire - 5
Commodores - 4

This battle will be called shortly depending on either Pixie's schedule or mine. been a busy few days for me here, but it'll be slowing down soon so i'll be able to give my full self-alloted time slot for armor games then.

Hey Ernie, just for future reference and in an effort to please most of the people most of the time... uh, what is "doucherock"?

I consider "doucherock" usually to be one of these things:

1) When some idiot sings stupid lyrics on an acoustic guitar.



As portrayed in that one Family Guy episode.

2) When some skinny high-voiced loser makes some "rock song" that girls seem to be attracted to. Not Justin Bieber, because he is nowhere near a rock musician.



I know that's a picture of Owl City.

3) When people who look homeless create music that some people can actually listen to.



Okay, I'll admit that Passion Pit has one okay song...but the rest is unlistenable!

@ Ernie : Who?, Who? and last but not least... Who? 0_o
Have never heard of any of the three, but I'm guessing you mean 'op music that has a country guitar that's been volumed up a bit in it'? =P

Please don't say you dislike actual 'Rock Ballads'... please...

And I mean those from back in the 80's...
