Band Face Off - Round 14
 

Round 13 certainly was unlucky for some, as Miss Emmylou Harris and Miss Linda Ronstadt lost out to the ample talents of Miss Dolly Parton.

I thought it was time for a little soul music in this Face Off, so I selected four true legends. Just who is your favourite?


The results so far *UPDATED*
Johnny Cash has once again moved ahead of Elvis, but will he stay there?

Round 1: Petty defeats Springsteen - 36 to 19

The polls are still open, vote now!

I can't pick between Marvin and Aretha!!!! argh

Stevie Wonder, who can't feel the urge to dance or to take out the Kleenex box with his songs? I guess plenty, but that's their problem. :D

Romy

Aretha Franklin. I love her voice and songs.

This is a tough one. It was between Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder. Decided on the Wonder. If only for Sir Duke!! Yeah...that's right...you can feel it all over.

Me Neither.

Oh but you must *evil laugh*

:sigh: FINE evil one.

I'm going with Marvin, cause he was a brilliant composer.

Tough!
 

Marvin. But mainly for his early work. Still get a cringy feeling when I hear sexual healing. That's a nice opening line for a Tenacious D.-song.

I have to agree. I like to pretend that song doesn't exist.

Marvin, baby. Stevie Wonder's music repulses me.

If Al Green was on here, though, I would have gone with him. :D

Aretha.

If you'd put Otis Redding on the list, it would've been tough. And don't get me started on Diana Ross. What a bitch she is.

Oh my. Bit unfair lumping all four of them together, isn't it?

In the end, I had to go with Marvin, for having the longest string of artistic successes and for what he could do with that voice.

Aretha all the way here.

Wonder to me had a greater run of albums in his peak period than Gaye did, and Stevie's grande humanism, spirituality and generally happy attitude does it for me. However, Music Of My Mind would never have been created without What's Going On coming out first so I do have to give Marvin a lot of credit there.
