Blue Magic - no
Heatwave - no
Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes - no
Gladys Knight and the Pips - they come closest, but I can't say "better"

dlemond · 08-15-2006, 04:58 PM

No, none of them are better than The Isley Brothers.

Out of those others listed, I like Harold and the Bluenotes best.

Jaqui-Michel · 08-15-2006, 05:06 PM

Vocally Gladys Knight and the Pips are the best out of the four. Musically the Isleys are the best.

When are you going to stop dissin' the Isley Brothers?! You should post about music, not diss a group of legends. You are going to be outnumbered, because the Isleys were legends. And HELL NO, NONE of those groups you mentioned are better than the Isleys! Gladys Knight is not that great of a singer for one!

These are my favorite groups:

Kool & the Gang
Parliament-Funkadelic
Earth, Wind, and Fire
Isley Brothers
Ohio Players
Cameo
Gap Band
Slave
S.O.S. Band
Chic
Brothers Johnson
Con Funk Shun
Bar Kays
Lakeside

Kool & the Gang is my favorite group, but the Isleys were on a different level. They aren't in the Rock n Roll HOF for nothing. The Isleys were more polished than K&TG. The Gang was funkier and had a better horn selection. The Gap Band couldn't touch the Isleys.

I don't know whay you hate the Isleys so much, it's your perrogative. but you need to buy a bunch of their cds and listen to them again before you decide to diss them on this board.
