I've looked at clouds from Both Sides now :D

Pettypettypetty. He taught me that American girls don't have to live like refugees, and not to back down. :rolleyes: :sorry: Eff Zeppelin, and they're "big legged woman aint got no soul" pronouncement.

[EnchantedSLN]

Eff Zeppelin, and they're "big legged woman aint got no soul" pronouncement.

But he says "I don't know but I been told, a big legged woman aint got no soul." It's not Led Zeppelin, it's their stupid friends :p.

I picked Zep. I love TP, but there's just no contest.

You are so committed! Do you need to be committed now? :lol: Oops, that was bad. :sorry: :laugh:

That hardly matters, he said it out loud in a song. Zep is usually to hard for me anyway.

I think Zep's songs were better but in terms of who's my favorite it's Tom. Free Falling practically got me thru the summer of '89 (aw yeah)!

Yeah. Although, lyrically, I'm not sure Zep's songs are better. :shrug: Whaddya think?

[shackin'up]

Led Zeppelin. The only band that I own completely on vinyl and CD. They deserve to win this, not only because they are still on the faves list of almost every musician and musiclover on this planet. Also because they connect to alot of different musicstyles, and have put out at LEAST 5 classic albums.

[xxxmx]

i was tempted to vote for LZ based solely on the fabulosity of Kashmir.

then i realized that Tom has such an exquisite catalog... and he was in the Wilburys... and he is one half of the Insider... and so i voted for him.

and i didn't follow all of the rounds, but i'd like to back track and see how it came down to these three. or more specifically how joni ended up in the final three. eh, good job S on the whole thing!

Me too... mainly I'm wondering how The Beatles didn't end up being in the top 3. They're number 1 in every poll ever conducted (not that they shouldn't be.) Or was it just a given that the Beatles are supreme so they were left out to give other bands a fighting chance? I read most of the rounds but I don't remember seeing them.

This has been cool, Sharon. Thanks for doing it :thumbsup:

[goldie]

This is tough. But I gotta say Petty.

[Miss Vicky]

No brainer.

Petty all the way.

[Red]

Went for Zep. Had to. When the levee breaks? One of the best songs ever recorded.:angel:

[carrie721]

pettypettypettypettypettypetty. few things are better than petty. seriously ... is there a better song than zombie zoo? probably not.

[Red]

pettypettypettypettypettypetty. few things are better than petty. seriously ... is there a better song than zombie zoo? probably not.

Uh, yeah, When the Levee Breaks - Led Zepellin :D

[amber]

Yay! C'mon, Petty! One more!
It's weird that though everyone likes Zep so much, they've never really touched me. I mean, they rock and all, but my good response to them is pretty shallowly felt.

Yeah, I feel the same way about Zep. Meh. I even prefer Dolly Parton's version of Stairway to Heaven to the original.

and Rachel: wrong! go listen to zombie zoo. :laugh:

[foxyluva]

I vote for Joni, not that it matters because Petty & Led Zep are way ahead :(

[Miss Vicky]

:distress:

Your horrible taste never ceases to amaze. I mean - if you want to like Joni, that's fine. Whatever. But liking her more than Petty? That's just wrong.

Oh, please. I like Tom Petty a lot, I really do. But his songwriting just isn't in the same league. And I have no clue how Led Zeppelin made it into the finals. :shrug: But then, rock isn't really my music of choice...

I wasn't actually being serious. I was just picking on Michael, like I always do.

Also, some people consider Petty to be a superb songwriter. I would be one of those people. :wavey:

Joni? Not so much.

I totally don't get how you (or anyone) can say that Joni isn't one of the greatest (if not the greatest) songwriters. Petty is a great songwriter, but he's second tier. :D

Her lyrics and her music in general just don't move me. I'm not one of those people who sits there and analyzes things, so don't ask me to explain. I just go with my gut reaction. In the case of Joni, either that means no reaction at all or a "gut" reaction of a different sort.

Oh, okay.

*sigh*

I think I'll go listen to Jaco Pastorius and leave everyone to cream themselves over Led Zeppelin. *shudder*

For the record:

I am not a Led Zep fan at all. They might be one of the most musically innovative bands in rock, but overall their music just leaves me cold.

[sara1998]

"... and she grew up tall and she grew up right with them Indiana boys on them Indiana nights...."

It's gotta be Petty, baby!

[SuzeQuze]

Uh, yeah, When the Levee Breaks - Led Zepellin :D

Dude, that song kicks. They really do move me but so does Petty and he has such a vast catalogue. Plus I've seen him live. I had to go with him! I'm definitely a rocker at heart.

[amber]

Oh, okay.

*sigh*

I don't like her voice much.

[DavidMn]

WOw. its' close!

[carrie721]

I don't like her voice much.

Word. Glad I'm not the only one. I like some of her songs, but I never like her versions of them. KD Lang's version of "A Case Of You" is ridiculously, vastly superior to her own version.

[johndoe]

Zeppelin. No question. Tom's great, but he no way stacks up to Zep.

[Miss Vicky]

CALLING ALL PETTY-HEADS...


We need your help! :wavey:

We can't let Tom lose to... to... Goldie-locks. It's just not right!

[Miss Vicky]

*Bump*

We need a tie-breaker vote.

Come on lurkers.

[ryan8472]

Petty

Tied again? :p

[DavidMn]

Petty

Tied again? :pBoy is it close!

[trackaghost]

Should I call this for Led Zep?

[DavidMn]

Should I call this for Led Zep?I'd give it another day or 2.

[The Tower]

Petty

Tied again? :p
I'm proud to say that I was vote number 19 for Led Zep!

Looks like Led Zepplin is pulling away just a bit.

[shackin'up]

call this one home, please, sharon.

[trackaghost]

I declare that Led Zeppelin are the official winners of the Ledgie Band Face-Off!

Thanks to everyone who participated, offered their opinions, argued for their favourite bands and gave me brilliant suggestions for who to include in each round (in particular Gaius, Jyqm, DavidMn, Gerald and Dissention, to name but a few).

It's been fun! I did have an idea to do a classic album face-off (stolen from another forum) but don't worry I'll put the Face-Off polls to rest... for now anyway. ;) Thanks again!

A good winner of a monster of a contest. I deeply bow for the work you put in. And as you know you started it with more than a fun reason. I thank you for keeping me on board over here, although in the lindseydiscussions I now flee every now and then towards BN.net. Ofcourse mainly because my old friend Carnevaca shakes up the blankets over there.

Thanks Sharon. You Rule.

[skcin]

Sharon, thanks so much for doing this. :thumbsup: I think the winner is more than worthy.

[eclipse]

Yes I agree with Paula, Thanks for doing this Sharon. I am sure it was alot of work...
but you brought us hours of fun:]
