May I suggest next round U2/Rolling Stones? I think that would get some very interesting responses

Well, funny you say that, but I may well pit another heavyweight against those two.

I think, with respect, you are getting all bent out of shape about innocuous comments. I meant no disrespect with mine and think you are doing a great job!!!!! Keep up the good work as I think these are cool and thought provoking

Well, you're right Strandie, I was

I've calmed down now

Put them up against Oingo Boingo or something, they're guaranteed to win.

Don't underestimate the Oingo Bongo fanbase here on The Ledge!

Madonna.....no contest. I can't stand Sheryl Crowe and I don't know who that other chick is.

BTW........I really like this whole band face off thing

Yeah, I'm sure I'd be blown away by the sheer volume of Ledgies who punk out to "You've Got Your Baby Back" on a regular basis.

Madonna of course!

There will never be another Madonna!

Without Kate Bush, Bjork would have never been accepted by a big audience. Remember, idiosyncratic artists need eachother -and their place in the collective memory- to push a little further every next time. Without the hardrock of the 70's and johnny rotten, the sound of Nirvana never would have been "big" audiencewise.

Kate Bush, how extreme peculiar she is, is still one of the female popicons in the world. And that with one album per decade and no touring. That's wat I call efficiency in popularity. That woman is brilliant songwise too. And vocally she outlives the other two easily.

So KATE it is for this round.

Blondie vs Nina Hagen & Spliff vs Iggy Pop.

Sheryl Crow.

I got over Madonna along with my "This is the kind of music I have to listen to now that I'm gay" phase. I don't think I've ever heard anything by Kate Bush.

I have never been a fan of either 3. But I counted all the songs by each artist that I really, really like and Madonna came out as a winner. So Madonna it is.
