Anyone remember "who was better" between fans of the Temptations and fans of the Four Tops? Both were amazing. 1970 timeless classic Ball Of Confusion seals the deal for me.

In the 60's it was a dead heat. The Temptations separated from everyone in the 70's.

Superstar was already listed, but Andrew Lloyd Webber's first musical was also based on a religious story from Genesis. My favorite from that play:

This one not so much.

[Ozimoto]

I always felt this song was "biblical" in it's message and the way it is presented.
