Too much competition to say they are the greatest but their Woodstock set rivals the best live performances ever .

I think Sly Stone is one of those underrated geniuses. It's been said he's a proto-Prince and I hope listening to that music would justify such a claim. It seems that this band could play any type of music convincingly as well as other acclaimed acts of the era, like Prince and the Revolution for his era. The music was self-contained(produced solely by Sly), integrated and featured amazing instrumentalists. Sly was just a dope singer and it just came across that these people were the evolutionary Beatles but a MUCH better live act.
