Cleanup

This article needs cleanup. Almost all the links that lead to album names go to the meaning of the actual word, not disc information. The author of this article did a poor job of this. --WindWaker68 00:13, Feb 28, 2005 (UTC)

Love Songs album

I believe the entry for a 2004 album entitled Love Songs actually refers to a 2005 Chicago album of the same name; that album includes two tracks recorded on their joint 2004 tour. Before I make that correction, can anyone else confirm? Engineer Bob 09:17, 14 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Earth, Wind and Fire also has a CD called "Love Songs". The Love Songs tag appears to be a line of Greatest Hits packages release by Sony/Columbia.

Thanks for the info; I did some further checking and found the EW&F album. (BTW, the Chicago Love Songs album is on Rhino Records, not Sony/Columbia.) Engineer Bob 00:48, 21 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Discography format

Excellent work by Xinger on the singles list. Would be nice to see the albums converted to a similar format for consistency. Engineer Bob 16:36, 1 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Dance Dance Dance

How come I can't find seem to this track on any of their albums? From what I've heard, it seems like a breath of fresh air from hearing all their other tracks for the 15 millionth time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 170.76.32.52 (talk) 23:27, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unprofessional

This article is written in a decidedly nonacademic style. Certain sections need to be rewritten. Bro2baseball (talk) 02:37, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Maintenance tags

Okay, who keeps removing the maintenance tags? Two sentences is way too short of an intro, and almost everything on the page is red linked. It clearly needs a major overhaul. Removing the tags doesn't fix the problem. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP)} 14:47, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

seventh?

in the intro paragraph it says something along the lines of "they're seventh best selling american group" but if you go to the list they're not on there anywhere. the sources listed didn't seem to help much either. DPM 04:28, 8 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unless I'm mis-counting, The Four Seasons are the seventh best-selling American band of all time, based on the link. And the two references, the two biography pages, make zero reference to EWF being on the list either.
