    What is War good for? That band was good for some of the funkiest music ever created. An eclectic outfit that truly had its own groove. Roll funk, R&B, Latino, jazz and a touch of reggae all together and this is what you get:

    Is that some cowbell I’m detecting?

    If so, I’m all in. I had a fever, but it now seems to be cured.

    Indeed it us.

    I think we can safely say it’s the best cowbell intro this side of “Honky Tonk Women.”

    Personally I like the earlier version of the Temptations.
    Nice shout out though.

    I am surprised nobody has mentioned Tarver-Jones II. It was a pretty shocking revenge.

    Holyfield won that rematch clearly 7-5. And Lewis won the first fight clearly 9-3

    I actually have the 4 tops ranked higher than The Temptaions from the 60's. I agree, its all great stuff either way.

    Lennox/Rahman II (Rahman landing on the crown is so poetic)

    My personal favorite is Cotto/Margarito II though. It also enrages me that Cotto got his revenge but enough people don't talk about the 2nd fight, only the first one.

    I saw WAR in concert twice during their heyday. They put on great shows.
