    That's a pretty solid top 5. I'd have a hard time replacing one of those people, but I'd want to include Miles Davis and possibly Erykah Badu. I've been listening to a lot of her music lately.

    Also Stevie Wonder.

    Making a Top 5 across all genres is near impossible.

    Beach Boys are my favorite rock band. Back in 89 when Look Whos Talking movie came out they had a couple of songs on the soundtrack and I fell in love with that organy surfer rock sound and harmonies.

    Holland Dozier Holland of motown are my favorite songwriters/producers. HDH pretty much created every genre and sub genre of music post 1955 based on the creation of that motown sound. Its mindblowing when you sit back and read all their credits but its also crazy to realize they did this in the 1950-60s during racial tension and lack of technology at times. HDH begat disco that begat the place where we posting now

    The funk group Slave is my favorite musical band period. They are in the soundtrack of my early life when my dad used to crank up his big stereo for BBQs and domino games with his friends. Mark Adams the best Bass player, guitarist ? any ? who think different. he got them Complex Bass arrangements and ghost riding notes. his bass is so tight a computer cant emulate that ? . Steve Washington is also a genius bass player too along with Steve Arrington. Slave was loaded with talent. Slave breaks down to Deja/Aurra (Kurt and Starleana who is married to JT from Kool and Gang), Steve Arrington Hall Of Fame, The New Slave, Young And Company and other splinter groups that affliation that was making them dope ass funk records in the 70-80s

    I like listening to girl groups of the 60s. No ? given. My mother raised me on them. Black excellence from Black Goddesses. I Love the The Chiffons, The Supremes, The Crystals, The Marvalettes. "Sweet Talking Guy" is my favorite song from that Era. One of my favorite things to do after a stressful day of work is to put a 45 on from a girl group, roll a fat ass blunt and look at google images of these gorgeous Black women of 60s and daydream about these women singing to me. Puts a smile on my face everytime.

    Disco is my favorite music genre. Nothing can ? with disco.Its a scientific fact Disco was the most complex music ever created at any point in the history of recording. Maybe the music industry had a mental and intelliectual breakdown after 1970s because Disco is more deep than Opera and classic. Before I even knew what rap was I was listening to disco and playing with disco records and in love with the sounds. It brings out elation, im uncoordinated as ? and I swear I can outdance Chris Brown if a disco record come on. Disco music makes me happy, it makes me think. Disco DJs>>>>>>>>>>hip hop DJ. They got a whole diffent persona about them. Disco DJs are Musical Engineers. They dealt with equipment in ways that we would never master with the technology we have now. Disco rubbed off on me for Collecting stereo equipment and vinyl throughout my life. Disco DJs were also Almanacs, Shazam and any other song identifying app. Anybody can say they "know music" in the google age but back then The only person that could tell you when a album came out, what label, who produced was only the Disco DJ.I swear all I used to ever want to be when I was little was a Disco DJ like my dad even though disco was RIP lol. Its an infectious music that brought out class and elegance in Blacks. Disco is our Waltz music. I listen to disco every day and have to spin a disco record on my turntable everyday

    D'Angelo
    Eric Burdon
    Eric Clapton
    Between the Buried and Me
    Posdnuos
