For starters, the background music to their songs sound like something for a funeral

You mentioned the '70s. In the '70s alone, they had:
That Lady
Hello It's Me
Harvest For The World
Fight The Power
Groove With You
Make Me Say It Again, Girl
Footsteps In The Dark
Voyage To Atlantis
(At Your Best) You Are Love
For The Love of You
Work to Do
Summer Breeze
Love the One You're With

CLASSICS!!
And you're saying that in a decade that had the Starland Vocal Band and the Bay City Rollers, the Isleys were the worst group???

Tuesday Weld · 08-29-2005, 04:06 PM

That may be your opinion, Solomon, but I happen to like them.

Nighthawk76 · 08-29-2005, 04:29 PM

I totally agree with RetroTVCollector. The Isley Brothers suck like no other artist has ever sucked before. Infact, The Isley Brothers make Britney Spears look the Beatles.

Actually, I don't know anything about the Isley Brothers.

Dean Winchester · 08-29-2005, 04:34 PM

their old stuff was great, their more recent songs (at least the ones released as singles) have been a little too much on the smooth side for my liking but they have some killer stuff in the 60's and 70's.

TheHappyBurgerMeister · 08-29-2005, 06:07 PM

I love the Isley Brothers! My mom got a greatest hits CD of there's a few years back and I listen to it a lot. I like their songs!

TVFactFan · 08-29-2005, 06:17 PM

BLUE MAGIC was much better than the Isley Brothers

Dean Winchester · 08-29-2005, 06:24 PM

well, when you consider their first hit was in 1959 and they had a #1 album in 2003 (and it wasn't a Ray Charles case where death spiked sales), I'd say they've had a pretty impressive career and apparently a lot of people like them for them to have a successful career in excess of 45 years. I think only the Stones, Barbra Streisand, Stevie Wonder (whenever his cd comes out) and Paul McCartney even come close when it comes to artists who've been around so long and can still score a successful album.

There were so many Singing Groups from the 70's that sound so much better than the Crappy Isley brothers. Isley Brother Music makes my ear bleed

Gladys Knight and the Pips
The Ohio Players
Blue Magic
Jackson Five
Harold Melvin and The Blue Notes
