(Or, pick bands that are as opposite as possible and argue which is superior).

There are a number of Dave Q threads I recommend. ;-)

Funnily enough, I was thinking of starting a thread just now based on something I read on Allmusic. According to said exhaustive music resource, Joy Division and Queen are 'similar artists' to Roxy Music.

Joy Division and Queen? Can you think of two more polar bands? One is all icy, spartan, stentorian and serious, whereas the other is campy, flamboyant, wilfully silly and excessive.

Yeah, and Joy Division were especially campy when Ian grew the mustache.

Freddy would have cheered those sad bastards up.

huey could beat thom on jeopardy

Can you imagine Joy Division doing 'We are the Champions'? That is a funny thought.

didn't the news play on elvis costello's first album?

Queen doing "Decades"!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 19 June 2004 01:45 (twenty-two years ago)

I'd rather hear Queen tackle "Isolation".

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Saturday, 19 June 2004 01:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Radiohead has more friends.

This has made my night:

I'm about to have a really really good bout of laughter in a sec here when I've had time to stop reading/writing and give this idea my full attention. I anticipate not being able to get up from the floor and finding it very hard to catch my breath.

BTW, Huey Lewis & The News = Vomit, and no I don't mean the band called Vomit, if there even is one, which there probably is

― Bimble (bimble), Saturday, 19 June 2004 06:19 (twenty-two years ago)

If there was a band called Vomit, they'd sound exactly like Huey Lewis & The News.

― Bimble (bimble), Saturday, 19 June 2004 06:20 (twenty-two years ago)

There's a Metal band called Vomitory...

This becomes an interesting question if you consider Radiohead 'the new Beatles' because then it actually becomes Taking Sides; Inspiring Real Psychopaths Vs Inspiring Literary Psychopaths.

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Saturday, 19 June 2004 06:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Radiohead will never be 'the new Beatles'.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Saturday, 19 June 2004 06:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh I don't know, I'd like to think of them as all dead bar the rythm section.

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Saturday, 19 June 2004 06:56 (twenty-two years ago)

I did all these ages ago. You're too late (although I'm flattered at the blatant plagiarism).
