I don't know about you, but it looks like the same homeless guy in EVERY picture to me.

Any other ideas Amber?

I wanted her against Patti Smith - different music, similar career arcs. does everyone have to sound the same for you to put them together?
Either way, surely you agree that Joni Mitchell will trounce Baez. Great Dane/Chihuahua. I'll see if I can think of anything else.

Did you already do Loretta Lynn?

Kinda like this picture that appears in the paper here every year around the holidays of this same guy getting a meal. He looks kinda like Santa Claus with his beard

Yes, it seemed more even to me. People will be mad. They'll be all "Oh, I can't pick!!!!" I love those.

I think Patti is a ****ty choice to put next to Joni, but whatever. Patti surely gets my vote already, though.

I think Joni v. Patti by itself is interesting, too.

I agree that would be very interesting

Sadly, you are wrong. It's better than Baez, though, but there could be still another choice that is better than both of those. Oh, and I voted for Aguilera. She doesn't seem as fake. Or rather, she doesn't try to seem like she's pretending she's not as fake. She's a ho, too, but she doesn't try to pretend like she's not.

I know Joni, Patti and Loretta don't necessarily fit but I'm attempting to round up some artists I've left out so far but want to include so I can get this thing moving onto the next level by next week. Otherwise Band Face Off could go on forever and ever, and no one wants that!

Youre doing great with this!! keep it up

How anyone could listen to Pissing in a River, Gandhi, Rock'n'Roll Nigger, and countless other Patti songs, and think that putting her next to Joni Mitchell is a good idea is beyond me.

How could someone put Joan's career up against Joni's and compare them is beyond me. Again, I don't think the people have to sound alike. They are contemporaries, too, right? Outside the box, dear, outside the box.

At least we can all feel better about ourselves when one of them loses in the next round?

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.

Bonnie Raitt? Jackson Browne? James Taylor?

Wilco vs. Ryan Adams or The Shins? (And are you going to Tweedy's London solo show?)

Tom Waits vs. anybody? Pretty please?

[amber]

Joni v. Carole King?

Against Patsy Cline?

I've got about five Face Offs left and then onto the semi-finals.

Well, I mean, if we're gonna go beyond 32 anyway, we might as well go for 64, just to be fair. We could make NCAA brackets and have a pool!
