So, which do you think produced the most great music overall?

Let's see.

Motown:
The Temptations
Marvin Gaye
Stevie Wonder
Diana Ross & The Supremes
Smokey Robinson & The Miracles
The Four Tops
Martha & The Vendettas
Jackson 5
Gladys Knight & The Pips


Stax:
Otis Redding
Sam and Dave
Rufus Thomas
Isaac Hayes
Wilson Pickett
Albert King
The Staple Singers
Booker T & The MGs

I live close to Memphis so you might think I'm partial to Stax. But I just gotta go with Motown.
I thought about this for ten minutes, and I just can't make up my mind.

Both are literally awesome at the exact same levels, though Otis Redding very nearly seals it for Stax.
