no beatles for me, for some reason i can never connect to their music, whereas some of Muse's stuff is so powerful for me. same with Oasis, well i simply haven't heard much Oasis compared to the ammount of Arcade Fire... but editing is permitted, so these may change...

Black Rose · 05-05-2007, 03:24 PM

1 Oasis vs. Arcade Fire
Why do people love Arcade Fire so much, blander than a beige room with beige curtains.

2 The Beatles vs. Muse
If Muse win this, this forum's musical tastes are fu*ked.

3 Bright Eyes vs. Death Cab For Cutie
Don't like Death Cab

4 Keane vs. Arctic Monkeys
Keane, by a Septillionth of an inch

5 Blur vs. Mew
Hands down.

6 Sigur Rós vs. Red Hot Chili Peppers
Toughie for me, RHCP a band which I hate, or Sigur Ros, whom I don't really get...

*tosses coin*

Sigur Ros it is

7 Snow Patrol vs. The strokes
What have the strokes given the world?

8 U2 vs. Radiohead
Kid A beats anything by U2

1 Oasis vs. Arcade Fire
Mhm, my childhood heros against the most hyped and pretentious band around? Tough one.

2 The Beatles vs. Muse
Obviously.

3 Bright Eyes vs. Death Cab For Cutie
Tough one but I just go for the one that made me cry so many times already.

4 Keane vs. Arctic Monkeys
I'd never thought I'd say this but I really do prefer Keane.

5 Blur vs. Mew
Mew are nice, Blur are something bigger.

6 Sigur Rós vs. Red Hot Chili Peppers

7 Snow Patrol vs. The strokes
and I used to be such a huge strokes fan...

8 U2 vs. Radiohead
This is just as easy as u2 vs coldplay.

MrMagpie · 05-05-2007, 04:19 PM

1 Oasis vs. Arcade Fire
I like both bands quite a bit, but I've gotta go with my Canadian band.

2 The Beatles vs. Muse
Same reason as Josh.

3 Bright Eyes vs. Death Cab For Cutie
I haven't really listened to either much.

4 Keane vs. Arctic Monkeys
I like both these bands alot, but I give the nod to Keane.

5 Blur vs. Mew
I don't really listen to Blur, while Mew I do.

6 Sigur Rós vs. Red Hot Chili Peppers
RHCP

7 Snow Patrol vs. The strokes
I don't understand why people like the Strokes so much.

8 U2 vs. Radiohead
This is like picking if I would rather have a million dollars or if I would rather have a million dollars.
