**D J 1 3 8** · 09-23-2003, 10:15 AM

Heatwave has the better songwriter (Rod Temperton), while AWB has the better band.

I'd go with Heatwave only if Rod Temperton produced the project.

"School Boy Crush" was the skater's anthem.

But AWB did have the classics too..."A Love of Your Own" has to be one of my all time favorites.

If you listen carefully, the music verses for Boogie Nights and Off the Wall (both Temperton compositions) are basically the same song.

Yeah I noticed that recently!

And not to jak Dee-Dee, but "Pretty Young Thing" by Michael Jackson and "Do You Love What You Feel" by Rufus are frighteningly similar as well...

"School Boy Crush" was the skater's anthem.

Crazy Legs [/QUOTE]"School Boy Crush" was also sampled by 45 King for Eric B & Rakim's "Microphone Fiend". But my vote goes out to Heatwave. It's all about "Star of the Story" for me.

**Dee-Dee Sheridan** · 09-23-2003, 12:57 PM

I went to a AWB concert a couple years back they got down. Tom Joyner's Sky Show.
