  • Mandrill over War any day

    they hit higher heights musically and artistically

    Just to clarify, we are still talking about the cheesy funkgroup with monkeys on their albums, right?

    READ THE ARTICLE. you don't know the true and dont know Mandrill

    This "Wax Poetics" you speak of, can I buy a copy at Safeway?

    Yes, it can be found next to "Session Musicians for Hire."

    War is one of America's greatest recording groups.

    yes... right up there with the Beach Boys, the Osmonds and the Lennon Sisters

  • Who's dissing the Beach Boys?

    There might be breaks in it.

    So what is the big revelation in the article? Quick summary for us infidels who haven't read it, please.

    Unless they're coming with some tektonic-plate moving revelations, I'm still on the WAR team. Their catalogue is just more solid and the songwriting is more consistent. A lot of Mandrill's albums are a bit uneven. That doesn't mean that they don't have some killer jams, but WAR wins the match on points IMO. People who call Starbucks because of stuff like "Why Can't We Be Friends" are way off.

    the big greasy ex-convict lookin' mutha in Mandrill is actually a Harvard graduate and went to med school before jammin' with the band and gettin' stoned every night .... that ALONE means that Mandrill > War

    Eric Burdon made records with the Animals.

    Animal played drums for the Muppets.

    that shit is like 3 degrees of seperation!!

    WAR is clearly the kevin bacon of the record game.

    You can argue that Madrill was SMARTER than War, based on this fact....but not better.

    War was just better.

    At the end of the day, the songs themselves matter. The live performances, all that shit is just memories.

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^

    Very record collector-esque comment.

    Um, I'm a record collector

    But for real we are talking about a Mandrill article in Wax Poetics, versus a band that has these huge, era-defining tunes... I don't see what could be *less* record collector about my (wide) stance.

    either that makes no sense or you really need to try harder to explain yourself
