trackaghost · #1 10-23-2005, 05:31 PM

Sadly for me, Pink Floyd beat out Radiohead in the last round. Well, I guess Thom Yorke has another thing to be miserable about now, bless him.

Round 27 sees three modern bands with not much in common at all, except all have been mentioned on The Ledge. But who is your fave?

The results so far...
Round 1: Petty defeats Springsteen - 36 to 19
Round 2: Led Zeppelin defeat The Who - 22 to 19
Round 3: Madonna defeats Sheryl Crow/Kate Bush - 24 to 13/10

Round 5: Guns N Roses defeat Bon Jovi/Metallica - 17 to 13/12
Round 6: Heart defeat Blondie/The Pretenders - 23 to 16/6
Round 7: The Beach Boys defeat The Kinks/The Byrds - 24 to 10/10
Round 8: Johnny Cash defeats Elvis Presley/Roy Orbison - 20 to 19/7
Round 9: Abba defeats The Carpenters - 25 to 15
Round 10: Prince defeats Jimi Hendrix/Lenny Kravitz - 24 to 15/3
Round 11: No Doubt defeat Garbage/Hole - 27 to 11/9

well, I went for The Killers, because FF is too retro and stylish for me. Maroon 5 had a fantastic radiohit but that album bored the frick out of me. So it's the killers because of energy and straight forward thinking musically.

I went for The Killers. Their debut album is great. Nice melodic rock. I can't get enough of 'Smile Like You Mean It' and 'Andy, You're A Star.'

Nice one, Sharon.

The Killers suck so hard. If only I had a magic eraser on the end of my pencil, I would erase every trace of them. In the words of Stevie, they hurt my everything.

Maroon 5? Someone unscrew that vice grip and remove Levine's balls from it.

Franz Ferdinand all the way. One of my favorite bands. I love those pale, skinny boys with every fiber of my being.

I am so not trying to be contrary or anything of the sort, Gerald, but could you please expound on this just a bit?

Jyqm · #7 10-23-2005, 05:57 PM

I don't care for Maroon 5 at all, and The Killers do absolutely nothing for me, so this is an easy choice for me. I don't have Franz Ferdinand's new album, but I still enjoy their first one, and they put on a fantastic concert. I like the rakishness, and I like any band that names itself after an Archduke.

Sharon - It's my turn to HATE you.

I'm going to have to do some soul-searching before I vote on this.

amber · #9 10-23-2005, 06:00 PM

I like Franz, they've actually stayed in my ishuffle since a friend gave me some songs. And there's only about 200 songs on there, people.

Well, Maroon 5 is out of the mix. So we know who its between. I may be leaning towards the Killers because I love their music AND Brandon Flowers is hot. Then again, Nick McCarthy is pretty hot too. I'm too torn.

He's got such a tight little ass (while Alex has no ass...whatsoever). I really noticed it last week. Too bad he's about as tall as leprechaun in Manolo Blahnik's.

This made me REALLY laugh out loud.

He does have a nice ass tho.

I'm also trying to base my vote on how these bands would match up against any other band in the 2nd round. So I know who I'm voting for now...
