Battle of the Bands #9: Earth, Wind & Fire vs. Commodores

So, I thought we could try a little something different from the typical rock bands...

Two hit machines from the 70s/early 80s. Do you prefer the more dance-oriented soul of Earth, Wind & Fire or the mix of funk & ballads that was the Commodores?

Their big hits, for reference:

Earth, Wind & Fire:
Spoiler:

Shining Star
Sing a Song
Getaway
Saturday Nite
Got To Get You Into My Life
September
Boogie Wonderland
After the Love Has Gone
Let's Groove
Fall in Love With Me


Commodores:
Spoiler:

Machine Gun
Sweet Love
Slippery When Wet
Just to Be Close to You
Sweet Love
Easy
Brick House
Three Times a Lady
Sail On
Still
Oh No
Nightshift
