I'm going to do Wilco vs Ryan and Tom Waits vs Nick Cave, don't worry.
I don't know much about The Shins I must admit.
(Yep, I'm going to Tweedy's solo show!)

Why don't you leave it and just put Jackson Browne against James Taylor?

I hate divas! But if you're going to have a diva face off why not pit Aretha Franklin vs. Tina Turner? Loves me some Tina.

Throw all four of them up against each and you'll have a very interesting contest.

Courtney Love!*

(Me too!)

*What the hell are you thinking? Of course I'm kidding.

Why not give Diss a convulsive fit and pit Patti Smith against Debbie Harry?

Can't you put Tom Waits against Patti Smith?

No way, Tom Waits against Nick Cave. It's only right.

and I will go ahead and cast my vote for Mr. Cave.

I think that would be ace .

[ragandbone]

I think it should be Rickie Lee Jones VS. Joni, or yes, maybe James Taylor or Jackson Browne. Joan Baez is certainly a good musician, and has that high pure voice (like a Joni) but I don't think she is a contemporary of Joni's, she comes more from a folk tradition.
Of course I already can't imagine who could beat Joni, so I should probably shut up.

Patti Smith VS PJ Harvey


Oh yes, I was supposed to vote for someone...er, I pick Whitney Houston. I don't have a very good reason, she just made me want to sing along more than the other choices, way back when.

I've just worked out the next Face Offs and I have 10 ready to go! I think it should stop after that.

Cheeky? I'm not exactly sure, but it seems like a good idea to me.

Anyone got any ideas who I should put Joni Mitchell up against? I feel I need to include her before I go onto the semi-finals.

Carole King.

In a good way? Is blobby thing happy, or moving at too fast a frame rate, never getting anywhere?

I'd have said Whitney 10 years ago, but it's not 10 years ago. So I went with Christina.
