In your opinion, which was a better '70s funky soul band, 'The Ohio Players', or 'Bootsy's Rubber Band'?

Question

Both were from Ohio, you see, is why I ask.
Bootsy Collins was from Cincinnati and the Ohio Players were all from Dayton. I am kind of partial to talent and creativity from my own state, especially even my area.
Bootsy sang "the Junkie", and wrote the Cincinnati Bengals' fi\new fight song.
The Ohio Players sang "Fire", and "Funky Worm", and Honey" and "Roller Coaster", etc.

Yeah the bump. I remember people doing it, but I didn't know any of the dance step routine, except bumping.

Answer 1

You take me way back, and to be honest, it is difficult to remember even one of their songs, off hand. Nevertheless I do recall doing the bump, to both groups songs. You do remember the bump? My cousin and I, use to wear that dance out. But I'd have to say the Ohio Players, because even though I was a fan of Bootsy's Rubber Band, The Ohio Players', ruled. Oh, and what about George Clinton?

Answer 2

surprising question! i glance at it a sprint in yet differently. Many communities, and single performers, seem to have a "classic" era, the place the song seems magical and clean. i'm unable to think of of any band which could take care of that over the long haul. So whether or not they ruin up or not is irrelevant. i'm an previous situations, so i'm going to stay with the older bands. The Beatles broke up at merely the nicely suited 2d. they controlled to squeak out one final large classic album (Abbey street), incredibly plenty understanding it replaced into the top. (enable or not that's, as maximum folk understand, replaced into recorder in the past yet released later. And it confirmed how the gang replaced into merely not producing large textile anymore.) on the different severe, The sea coast Boys merely re-united for a 50th anniversary excursion. yet their suitable, classic era replaced into over by means of 1967! It replaced into effective to work out the residing individuals re-unite, and the checklist they made wasn't 0.5 undesirable, yet returned even die-not elementary followers do not declare they have made any needed new song because a minimum of the mid-70s. And purple Floyd incredibly plenty broke up for me after The Wall. there have been yet another decade or so of data to return out, yet they have been disguised solo excursions. So I say, enable a band stay at the same time as long as they're stimulated, and encouraging. breaking apart is a sort of a "dying,," yet each and every now and then that's greater merciful to all in touch than infinite re-treads of previous glories and 0.5-hearted stay shows on the reunion circuit. returned, i think of the suitable bands broke up whilst they felt they stated all they had to declare. Cream and The Police are additionally evoked. it isn't the dimensions of the profession; that's the customary of the artwork. whilst money, egos, or dried up creativity weigh heavily, then it's time to pass on. think of of each and every of the hot bands or acts that should form from those individuals - enable's hear something new!
