Best of both

[Dan]

Deleted the ones I don't care about.

Metallica

'tallica all the way - not a big fan of megadeth.

Nirvana

Same again, not a huge fan of grunge but Nirvana are alright.

Guns N' Roses

Axl Rose is a cunt but they have a fair few good songs.

Trivium

New album is shit and I quite like BFMV, but Ascendancy is so good that Trivium win.

The Pogues

Just because the song we hear at Christmas is so good.

Hardcore Superstar

Decent from what I've heard, albeit not a lot.

Jimi Hendrix

Hendrix is wonderful.

Stone Sour

Very hard as I like them both, but having seen Stone Sour live, have to pick them, fucking awesome live.

Rage Against The Machine

I love me some RATM, though faith no more are alright.

Oasis

Both overrated, but Oasis are the better of the two, though I'd take blur over either.

Less Than Jake

LTJ are good, yo.

Limp Bizkit

Durst is a nutjob but in their prime had some quality music.

Fall Out Boy

Better band of the two, simply put.

Rise Against

I like their acoustic work and don't like the others.

Blink 182

Hard one - Blink are awesome as are Sum 41 but Blink have just got a better back catalogue.

Lostprophets

I don't mind MCR but really like Lostprophets.

Linkin Park

Better band, like them both though.

Avenged Sevenfold

M Shadows is a great singer, songs aren't that good but I like the band generally.

Good Charlotte

Where shit for a long time but the new album is quality stuff.

Ill Nino

Good, heavy band.

Foo Fighters

Very very hard one to chose, but Grohl is just too awesome.

Coldplay

Two quality bands, just prefer more Coldplay songs.

[KevinStorm]

Metallica or Megadeth?:

Nirvana or Pearl Jam?:

--Don't know either.

Limp Bizkit or Puddle of Mudd?:

Alter Bridge or Creed?:

--Alter Bridge.

--Drowning Pool.

Ill Nino or Shadows Fall?:

--Shadows Fall, just because I've heard more.

Foo Fighters or Queens of the Stone Age?:

--Queens of the Stone Age, but I like both.

The Verve or Coldplay?:

--Neither.

Avril Lavigne or Kelly Clarkson?:

Metallica or Megadeth - no contest, see Zero for further reasoning

Nirvana or Pearl Jam - Tie, as I like both of them equally

Guns N' Roses or Motley Crue - I don't mind G'n'R, but don't overly care for Motley

Bullet For My Valentine or Trivium - I actually have a Trivium album, so yeah.

The Pogues or The Clash - close, but the Pogues just edge it

Jimi Hendrix or Eric Clapton - close

Slipknot or Stone Sour - Slipknot are miles better

Faith No More or Rage Against The Machine - never bought into Rage as much as some, whilst FNM are one of my favourite bands

Oasis or Radiohead - miles better

Sex Pistols or The Ramones

Less Than Jake or Reel Big Fish - well, I like 1 LTJ song, so they win by default

Limp Bizkit or Puddle of Mudd - I used to be a fan, at least

Panic! At The Disco or Fall Out Boy - just a better band

Anthrax or Slayer - this is more through just not hearing enough Anthrax

Blink 182 or Sum 41 - prefer them, though Sum 41 are great live

My Chemical Romance or Lostprophets - just for thier first album

Linkin Park or Papa Roach - LP are passable

Avenged Sevenfold or Eighteen Visions - I have a Sevenfold albums,so...

Good Charlotte or Green Day - miles better

Alter Bridge or Creed - anything is better without Scott Stapp

SOiL or Drowning Pool - DP were my first gig, so they edge it

Ill Nino or Shadows Fall - don't really like Ill Nino

Nightwish or Within Temptation - not fussed by either, but I own 'Once'

Foo Fighters or Queens of the Stone Age - just edge this

The Verve or Coldplay - Coldplay have more songs I like, but not as good ones as the Verve

Avril Lavigne or Kelly Clarkson - Clarkson is actually good

[lari]

At first I thought of posting something like: "What the hell is the point in evaluating bands you have no interest in or knowledge about?". For the majority of these bands, I only know a couple of (hit) songs by each. Not too many full albums at all. Not exactly the fairest way to start comparing them to another band. But then I thought 'what the hell' it's not that serious and it's only another thread in an online forum. Might as well post my thoughts.

Metallica or Megadeth?:

I like thrash, but I'm not a huge fan of either band here. Testament and Annihilator are my favourites. Having said that, I own 5 Metallica CD's and only 3 Megadeth ones, so I suppose Metallica takes it.

Nirvana or Pearl Jam?:

This isn't really even my opinion, but my girlfriend's, who absolutely loves Nirvana. So I trust her judgment on this one. I personally don't really care - Nirvana doesn't sound that special to me. And Pearl Jam? I don't remember if I've ever managed to go through a full album. I can only really remember random songs like Jeremy and Black (?) and the Neil Young cover. So it's not such a difficult decision in the end.

Guns N' Roses or Motley Crue?:

I like glam, but neither of these bands are really the stuff I'm into. These two are the biggest names and are pretty even in my eyes, but I suppose I have to pick Guns'n'Roses. Appetite for Destruction > Shout at the Devil.

Bullet For My Valentine or Trivium?:

I don't really know Bullet For My Valentine. There was a video on tele, but I have no recollection of the song or the melody. I do know Trivium, and I don't especially like them. But I still have to pick them. At least I can remember their songs after hearing them. And they do at times sound like Overkill or one of the 'real' thrash bands.

Dropkick Murphys or Flogging Molly?:

Wow. I don't remember hearing a single song by either group. I probably have, but I just cannot remember and the names say nothing to me. Are they among the new 'hip' bands? I pick Flogging Molly for absolutely no reason.

The Pogues or The Clash?:

I don't really know the Pogues all that well. They had some hit songs when I was a kid, but that's all. But at least they don't offend me as much as listening to the Clash. So I'm picking the Pogues based only on not liking the Clash.

Bring Me The Horizon or Job For A Cowboy?:

Are those band names? If so, Job For A Cowboy is the better name. And band. Clearly.

Towers of London or Hardcore Superstar?:

Another dilemma. I have never heard of the Towers of London. Hardcore Superstar I know from TV. Never heard a single album. If we're talking about the same Swedish group with funny hair and leather, that is. I don't really know how I am supposed to vote for or against either one. But I just did.

Jimi Hendrix or Eric Clapton?:

At first I was thinking 'better as songwriters or as guitarists?'. But then I realized they were both only mediocre songwriters, so I'll go with the more inspired guitarist, which is Hendrix.

Slipknot or Stone Sour?:

I only found out about Stone Sour about a week ago. My girlfriend made me watch their videos. Apparently one of the masked clowns of Slipknot is in the band. I also found out they kind of suck, at least on those couple of songs I saw. But that doesn't mean they can't get my vote here. I always thought Slipknot was the worst joke in heavy metal.

Faith No More or Rage Against The Machine?:

I don't like rap-metal, so I never really got into RATM. I did hear Angel Dust by Faith No More. Their vocalist sounds very dull.

Oasis or Radiohead?:

Not completely familiar with either. I only heard What's The Story Morning Glory and OK Computer. I actually prefer the Oasis album. Or I think I do - it's been awhile since I heard it. Late 90's or something. I had this friend who was into britpop and anytime I went to his place to smoke weed, I had to listen to stuff like that. Anyway, thinking of all the other random songs I've heard and videos I've seen, Radiohead gets slightly ahead.

Sex Pistols or The Ramones?:

I have always kind of enjoyed hearing Ramones songs. Unfortunately, I'm not too familiar with their full albums. And the Sex Pistols... well, there isn't much material to be familiar with. Just that one album that I never liked.

Less Than Jake or Reel Big Fish?:

Another pair I know nothing about.

Limp Bizkit or Puddle of Mudd?:

Yeah, okay. I don't really know either of these bands either. You have to understand musically I'm stuck in the 80's. Limp Bizkit I know mostly from non-musical factors. And I can probably recognise a song or two. Puddle of Mudd... the name sounds familiar. Songs? Don't ask me. And if they sound anything like Limp Bizkit, I will not be running to the record store to hear their albums.

Panic! At The Disco or Fall Out Boy?:

Right. Again too contemporary. I never watch MTV or listen to the radio (if these bands ever get played on the radio anyway, that is). But whatever, it's hard to say much here. I think I saw Panic at the Disco on Conan some time ago. I changed the channel.

Anthrax or Slayer?:

I loved Anthrax's Spreading the Disease, but looking at overall back catalogues, you must pick Slayer. Reign in Blood, South of Heaven and Seasons in the Abyss are all probably in my top ten thrash albums.

Rise Against or Anti-Flag?:

I don't know Rise Against. Anti-Flag is a punk rock band. I don't like punk. Rise Against wins. Now, don't come here saying Rise Against is a punk band, too - I really don't care. I just needed some random criteria in choosing the better band. And by saying I don't know anything one or both of the bands have done, my opinion doesn't really matter anyway. So random criteria is perfectly logical.

Hinder or Buckcherry?:

Ehh... contemporary music. I choose the first band.

I'll be back later...

Blink 182 or Sum 41?:

My Chemical Romance or Lostprophets?:

Linkin Park or Papa Roach?:

Avenged Sevenfold or Eighteen Visions?:

Good Charlotte or Green Day?:

Alter Bridge or Creed?:

SOiL or Drowning Pool?:

Ill Nino or Shadows Fall?:

Nightwish or Within Temptation?:

Foo Fighters or Queens of the Stone Age?:

The Verve or Coldplay?:

Avril Lavigne or Kelly Clarkson?:

Edited July 4, 2007 by lari

[Liam]

Mike Patton sounds dull?

......hmm

[Nerf]

At this time I have to wonder if lari likes music at all

[Bloodbath]

Megadeth

Nirvana

Guns N' Roses

Neither

Dropkick Murphys

The Clash

Neither

Neither

Jimi Hendrix

Slipknot

Rage Against The Machine

Oasis

The Ramones

Reel Big Fish

Puddle of Mudd

Neither

Anthrax

Rise Against

Never heard both

Sum 41

Lostprophets

Papa Roach

Neither

Neither

Creed

Drowning Pool

Neither

Neither

Foo Fighters

The Verve

Avril Lavigne (not for the music)

[ROC]

That and Clapton was not a mediocre songwriter. Only geniuses could write "If you got bad news, and you wanna kick them blues, cocaine."

[DMN in the House]

Metallica or Megadeth?:

Metallica - Easy decision for me. Metallica, black album and prior, blows Megadeth out of the water.

Nirvana or Pearl Jam?:

Pearl Jam - Another easy one. I like Nirvana, but its not even close.

Guns N' Roses or Motley Crue?:

Guns n' Roses - I'm still waiting for a hard decision. Motley Crue didn't have half as many great songs as GnR had on Appetite for Destruction alone.

Bullet For My Valentine or Trivium?:

Bullet for My Valentine - Basically because I haven't listen to much Trivium.

Dropkick Murphys or Flogging Molly?:

Dropkick Murphys - I like both, but DM takes it fairly easily.

The Pogues or The Clash?:

The Clash - Another fairly easy choice for me. Hell, Should I Stay or Should I Go helped me decide to break up with a girlfriend.

Bring Me The Horizon or Job For A Cowboy?:

Neither - I have no idea who either of these two are.

Towers of London or Hardcore Superstar?:

Neither - See above.

Jimi Hendrix or Eric Clapton?:

Hendrix - A really hard choice, but Jimi takes it, The Star Spangled Banner to Tears in Heaven.

Slipknot or Stone Sour?:

Stone Sour - A bit of a suprise choice for me, considering I own all the Slipknot albums, and have seen them live, but Stone Sour just seems to fit my mood more these days.

Faith No More or Rage Against The Machine?:

Faith No More - Another Body Murdered, Epic, and Easy Like Sunday Morning put them over the top for me.

Oasis or Radiohead?:

Oasis - Wonderwall for the win.

Sex Pistols or The Ramones?:

Sex Pistols - A close, but easy decision for me. Manufactured or not, the Sex Pistols exude punk to me.

Less Than Jake or Reel Big Fish?:

Reel Big Fish - Their cover of Hotel California takes it for me.

Limp Bizkit or Puddle of Mudd?:

Limp Bizkit - And its not even close.

Panic! At The Disco or Fall Out Boy?:

Fall Out Boy - Easy decision. I like both, I just like FOB better.

Anthrax or Slayer?:

Slayer - Easy, easy, decision. Seen Slayer in concert, met Kerry King due to my parent's having worked with his father for about 15 years, and they're just the better band.

Rise Against or Anti-Flag?:

Anti-Flag - Meh.

Hinder or Buckcherry?:

Buckcherry - Crazy Bitch > How to Save a Life. Nevermind that How to Save a Life happens to be a song a former friend of mine who fucked me over dedicated to another former friend of mine who fucked me over.

Blink 182 or Sum 41?:

Blink 182 - Old Blink kills Sum 41.

My Chemical Romance or Lostprophets?:

MCR - I haven't heard as much of LP as I'd like, and they're a friend of mine's favorite band, but this one easily goes to MCR for me.

Linkin Park or Papa Roach?:

Linkin Park - A really tough choice, as Papa Roach has enough songs I like to beat a lot of bands on this list, and I'm still absolutely in love with Infest and Scars, but Linkin Park is hard to beat, especially since Fort Minor isn't on this list, so I'm giving them all the Mike Shinoda love.

Avenged Sevenfold or Eighteen Visions?:

Avenged Sevenfold - In a fuckin' walk.

Good Charlotte or Green Day?:

Green Day - I absolutely HATE Green Day ever since American Idiot came out, but, outside of The River, which isn't even really a GC song, and Hold On (I think thats the name of it), I dislike GC as well. Dookie and Brain Stew in particular for the win.

Alter Bridge or Creed?:

Neither - Can we just agree to blow up both bands, preferably at the same time to save money?

SOiL or Drowning Pool?:

SOiL - I've never heard anything by Drowning Pool I've liked. Not a horrible band, but I just don't like them.

Ill Nino or Shadows Fall?:

Shadows Fall - I haven't heard much by either band, so its pretty much a toss up. What I have heard, I've liked from both.

Nightwish or Within Temptation?:

Neither - Don't know anything about either.

Foo Fighters or Queens of the Stone Age?:

QotSA - A really hard choice, but QotSA take it by a half an album length.

The Verve or Coldplay?:

Coldplay - Yellow makes it an easy decision for me.

Avril Lavigne or Kelly Clarkson?:

Avril Lavigne - Musically, I'd probably go with Kelly Clarkson, but Avril is a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine, and I could watch Girlfriend on a loop for a good 6 hours, she's that hot. Not that Clarkson is bad, mind you, but Avril is the perfect example of my type.

My bad. Point still stands though, I like Crazy Bitch way better than whatever song Hinder has done that I've heard.
