Band Face Off - Round 42

I think it must have been her turn in Max Mad: Beyond The Thunderdome that swayed you as Tina Turner walked away with Round 41.

Ha, finally! Sly And The Family Stone! A personal musical bible for me. There's more creativity in one of their songs than in whole albums today.

Impossible to choose between these two. But I picked Bob because of his personality.

[UnwindedDreams]

Can I suggest one?

[ontheEdgeof17]

Sly and the Family Stone.

[WildInTheWind]

I love both of them, but I went with Bob. His music puts me in a good mood and reminds me of summer.

[SteveMacD]

Sly. Simply the essence of cool.

[gldstwmn]

I'll never forget seeing Sly on television circa 1970-1971. He had a massive band then, complete with a horn section if I remember correctly and they did this 20 minute version I Want To Take You Higher. They were dressed like total freaks (I mean that in a good way) and they rocked hard. The most fun thing about it was watching the look on my parents faces, like "WTF is that?"

[face of glass]

Both are freaks and pioneers, so it was basically a coin toss for me.
