Band Face Off - Round 8

[trackaghost]

Seems most of you agree with Brian Wilson-fan Lindsey, as the Beach Boys stomped over the competition with 21 votes to The Kinks' 10 votes and The Byrds' modest nine votes.

Round 8 sees some musical gods up against each other, as suggested by Gerald. I have no clue who to vote for I love them all! But who will you choose?


The results so far
Round 1: Petty defeats Springsteen - 35 to 17
Round 2: Led Zeppelin defeats The Who - 22 to 18
Round 3: Madonna defeats Sheryl Crow/Kate Bush - 24 to 12/10
Round 4: The Beatles defeat Rolling Stones/U2 - 22 to 15/13
Round 5: Guns N Roses defeat Bon Jovi/Metallica - 16 to 13/12
Round 6: Heart defeat Blondie/The Pretenders - 22 to 14/6
Round 7: The Beach Boys defeat The Kinks/The Byrds - 21 to 10/9

The polls are still open, vote now!

Tough one. I love Johnny Cash....but Elvis is the King. :D

[estranged4life]

(Absolutely hate Elvis), So it was a tossup between Cash & Orbison...But I picked Roy.

[seeker007nmss]

Er...kind of hard, but...I like Cash's voice better, and I like more of his songs. I mean, I've never stopped singing Ring of Fire since I've been three or so. :laugh:


Plus both Stevie and Johnny like wearing black. :nod:

[dissention]

Johnny Cash rules. That is all.

I love Johnny, but mama brainwashed me on Elvis. :nod:
His rendition of Dixieland/Glory Glory Hallelujah brings me to tears every time.

My favorite Elvis cover is when Eric Crartman did one of "In the Ghetto" on south park. :D

[Dreammms]

I had to vote for Elvis. I grew up listening to him at all the family parties. So his music brings back many memories :)

Roy didn't?

[trackaghost]

Roy didn't?

Very good point. :laugh:

[shackin'up]

This time I will vote against Lindsey's taste. Although Orbison is a great, great place nr. 2 for me, it is Johnny Cash this round. Apart from his brilliant early work, later on the man did fantastic covers: f.i. Nine Inch Nails-song Hurt. But what took me down to the ground was his brilliant version of Soundgardens Rusty Cage.
Besides, I hate peanutbutterandbananasandwiches.

I really don't care for any of them. So I flipped a coin. Elvis won.

[gldstwmn]

Sharon, you are truly evil for making me choose between these three. :laugh: Presley is a Capricorn, I am a Capricorn and we Capricorns stick together. Plus, I love him. ;) How's that for reasoning? :laugh:

[SuzeQuze]

Dude, that's an Elvis song? :shocked:

Ditto. Except Cash won.

OMG...you're killing me. These are three of my favorites! I can't decide...but I think it's between Roy & Johnny. Roy definitely has the best voice of the three, and I like a lot of his songs. I like a lot of Johnny's songs, too, but his voice is so different from Roy Orbison's...it's hard to compare! I'm having a major crisis here, as you can see... :distress:

[EDIT] I looked at the poll and saw that Roy only has 2 votes. So, out of sympathy, I'm voting for Roy.

[Richard B]

Wow. Round 8 is a tough choice. Very hard...may have gotten a grey hair even.
I really hesitated clicking that button and voting.

Alas, I have gone with Elvis. He's got some great stuff in his lengthy catalog and I really love 'Suspicious Minds' and his live version of 'Walk A Mile In My Shoes' rules.

[markolas]

Dude, that's an Elvis song? :shocked:

Who did you think it was?

I can see where you're coming from.....and although It's Cash for me, I'm really glad you voted for roy................... :nod:

[Serrart]

Elvis Presley, his concerts were the most awesome I've ever seen (on TV :o )

[ryan8472]

I went with Johnny Cash. :nod:

[GypsySorcerer]

I love, love, love Johnny Cash, but I ultimately went with Elvis...such charisma and what a voice.

[Miss Vicky]

I like some of Johnny Cash's songs, but I can't say that I really love any of them. The only Johnny Cash cd I own is Unchained, which I bought only because of the contributions of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and Lindsey Buckingham.

So that left Orbison and Presley, both of whom I really love and both of whom, IMO, rank as some of the greatest male vocalists ever. It was a tough choice but in the end I had to choose Roy. His involvement in the Traveling Wilburys was the deciding factor.

[DavidMn]

Johnny all the way here.

Johnny all the way!!!!! I love Elvis and I love Roy, completely. I think Presley is one of the most captivating performers who ever lived, and Roy Orbison was an outstanding singer and songwriter...but Johnny? Man, he is one of the loves of my life. :xoxo:

[trackaghost]

Come on people, break the Cash/Presley tie please! :D
