You literally have nothing better to do, do you?

[Spur-Addict]

[CitizenDwayne]

Round one

Janis Joplin with Big Brother and the Holding Company vs Elvis Costello
The Sex Pistols vs Blue Oyster Cult = tie (initial impact vs. long, mostly boring career)
Motley Crue vs BeeGees (the Crue's 1st lp is a punk/pop/metal masterpiece, but the brothers Gibb longevity and quality wins out)
Radiohead vs Nirvana = tie (too tough to call)
Steve Miller Band vs Dire Straits (vey close though)
The Clash vs Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention (I respect Zappa, but his music does nothing for me)
AC/DC vs David Bowie (very slight edge)
Jeff Beck vs Cream (Jeff Beck is a better guitarist than Clapton, but Cream was a great band)
Billy Joel vs The Red Hot Chillie Peppers (only because I hate RHCP)
Leon Russell vs Black Sabbath
The Ramones vs The Moody Blues
Talking Heads vs Robin Trower
Van Halen vs Steppenwolf
Velvet Underground vs Joe er
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers vs Stevie Ray Vaughn and Double Trouble
The Band vs Jethro Tull
Country Joe and the Fish vs Iron Butterfly = tie (because . . . who cares?)
Grand Funk Railroad vs Vanilla Fudge = tie (same reason)
Traffic vs Them
Simon & Garfunkel vs Iggy Pop and the Stooges

There. I played your little game. Now, you can tell me I suck because my preferences are different than yours.

[Spur|n|Austin]

I don't even have time to read that list, how the do you have the bandwidth to compose so many lists?? Serious question.

[Avante]

wtf is queen on the list?

You're right, who do they replace?

[Avante]

You literally have nothing better to do, do you?

That took about five minutes.

[Avante]

What are the Sex Pistols, Clash and Ramones doing on there? I thought you couldn't stand such noisy trash.

I'm curious to see how far those bands can go in this.

[Avante]

Come on man do you really think I'm not aware of the fact we all have our on unique personalities and likes and dislikes?

[Avante]

You don't have what two minutes to spare?

I don't know, so far so good on my strange attraction to lists. They just illustrate a point in dramatic fashion.

Everything you've ever said completely and totally contradicts that statement.

[Avante]

Everything you've ever said completely and totally contradicts that statement.

You really think I think I live in a world where everyone shares my opinions? It's the curiousty as to why somebody can totally disagree with you when you both are knowledgeable about the same thing. I find that interesting.

[ohmwrecker]

I don't know what kind of world you live in. All I know is that anytime someone disagrees with you, you resort to insults and condescension. You haven't ever shown any respect. Why should I believe you now?
