But I guess they do have less songs out of all these bands that most Americans would recognize; "Blue Monday", "Bizarre Love Triangle", "True Faith" and maybe "Regret", that's about it.

Got A Collection and NewOrderStory yet? They were in the store already yesterday but I promised to a record seller in Lahti that I'd buy them from him for a cheaper price and I've been a loyal customer of his for years. Of course next time I'll get to go to Lahti is at the end of next week, grmbl.

Nope. Saw them today in the stores for the first time, but not as cheap as I want to have them. Still not sure if I even will, actually. I have Story already, and quite a lot of clips.. I'm having a NO break, I guess! (I'd still vote for them in that poll though

)

Had to go with the Clash, I love them, plus I simply do not know much Talking Heads music.

I would. But I already have all of those CD's. Having the remasters might be nice tho.

Dissy! We need to convert more people, and in a hurry! TH cannot be eliminated in the 1st round!

I have them all, too, but these are remastered AND they're DualDiscs! Hot hot hot. I knew I shouldn't have bought their outrageously overpriced boxed set.

If they lose...I don't know what I'll do. But it will be bad.

Arghhh... it's a difficult one... The Clash. They're both provocative and innovative groups, but The Clash bring more strong emotions to me.

Pestkop only means 'tease', nothing so extreme but I like your interpretation

But if you don't like any of the bands anyway, vote for New Order, ok?

Pfft... eurocentrism!!

Edit: Oh, you changed your signature. I was just about to ask you whether that note was directed to me, and if so.. what's your problem?

Anyway, where do you get the idea that New Order are whiners? Don't you know songs like Bizarre Love Triangle and Temptation? Ultimate party stuff.

If you really want to get depressed, try some American grunge..like Nirvana.. etc etc. It's not a Euro only thing, if you were saying that.

Broaden your way of looking at the world! Try some of it!
I could make you a yousendit. But then again, why should I?

Hmm...well, I think I agree with whoever it was who said that there probably aren't many jazz fans on this board...so, if you were to do one, I'd suggest sticking to vocalists that more Ledgies might be familiar with. Like Ella vs. Sarah, or Billie, or something.

To be honest I'd find a Cave-Waits battle more appropriate.
And If you search for an opponent for Costello, I'd say: Joe Jackson would be fitting.

Or match it with more rock. Like weather report vs mothers of invention

only know a few songs by either of them...

Elvis Costello, however, will get my vote

shackin'up · #27 10-07-2005, 06:35 PM

Costello-Waits will be a 69-5 result.

For those who know Waits, Cave is known too.

I don't want you to hesitate through my opinions, dear. Just pick what you want to. I'm just ventilating my view. Who cares!

Hi

I'd call myself a casual fan though, cause I don't have much of his stuff. But gotta love that voice and his writing is just phenomenal.

Is the goal really always to match up artists who make similar-sounding music, or did at one time, though? Many of the more interesting face-offs in this series have been the ones between artists who aren't terribly alike (this one, for instance).
