Marvin Gaye

Earth, Wind, and Fire

UB40

The Ohio Players

The Stylistics

The Chi-Lites

Jimi Hendrix

I went with Marvin Gaye in the Poll but its too limited. Where's Earth, Wind, and Fire and Stevie Wonder or even the Temptations.

How do you think a poll with five slots can include everyone?

notice I added to my statement before I saw your post

Trust me, I understand the problems with 5 limit, I make polls on GS quite alot. But this is clearly too limited a poll.

Not really.....is it really hard to look at five options and pick a favorite in that group? Does it have to have everything included? No. Nowhere does it lock you in to ONLY having one of the five as a favorite....it just lets you pick one from five this one time. Don't try to over think everything.....

No, but when he says favorite and boxes you into 5 choices, when there are probably at least 100 good choices, it doesn't work.

Generally I will say which do you like best of these 5 choices.

But this is no big deal.

Go with the flow in OT.....they use best all the time to describe favorite....now that does drive me nuts.:P

Fair enough, he mentioned in his first thread.

However, I would have said which of these Black Artists is your favorite.

And then with the first thread ask who your favorites are all time.

The topic title is misleading.

Ok, I see you responded to my deleted thread so you can disregard my answer here.

I have a few issues with this thread.

Clearly you mean music artist, you should define that because I was thinking about painters.

Why are they limited because of their race?
