Otto the Bus Driver

[PeptoB]

Man, you don't put these two against one another! But I'd say Led Zep.

[Christoph]

Easily Led Zeppelin. Their music has a lot more substance.

[Bardsley]

AC/DC are good, but...
Is there really a competition?
Zep.

[Mr. Vai]

trunks thats you, liar,

Zepp all the way

[Zeppelin]

yeah you can't do this man.. both of them rocks!!
but i choose zeppelin

[zepo]

The Hammer of the Gods ( for you people that aren't familiar with that, my pick Led Zeppelin.)

[Joseph]

Well, its safe to say that both Pink Floyd and The Doors both had something different to offer the table.

Its obvious why both of these bands reached such high levels of success and that was because of musical proficiency. When it comes to these bands, each member is irreplacable, and thats what makes a great and memorable band. But With The Doors it seemed as if they were lacking in the creativity department toward the end, don't get me wrong, these guys released one good solid record after another, but still nothing can top their first record. But with Floyd, these guys released one interesting record after another, these guys really had us by our throats, begging for more. Although its very hard to top the unique structure in Jimmy Morrisons lyrics, Ide have to say that Pink Floyd wins this battle. Their music is just so pure, and its the type of stuff that carries on for generations. These guys didn't care about image, for them music was their primary force.

[howie50]

I think what Joseph was trying to say was who gives a **** anyway, nobody's ever going to agree on any of this stuff, how about Britney and me nude mud wrestling. That would be a fascinating contest. I'm sure I could make it last 15 rounds, oh alright 25.

[Led Zeppelin]

Alright a bit late there Joseph.

Zeppelin win


Round #3:



Guns N' Roses vs. Metallica

[space ace]

I think AC/DC are an embarassment to the 70's-80's hard rock scene. Angus's legs move more than his fingers do.


Led Zeppelin all the way.

[Joseph]

When you it comes to hard working musicians, it doesn't get any better than Metallica, these guys are unbelievable, they have overcome so many different obstacles in the past, but still they've managed to carry on and continue making the type of music that best satisfies their impulses. Despite the whole napster saga, you guys can't deny that for a long car ride Metallica is #1 on your list (or at least pretty close), their songs are awesome, and Kirk Hammett continues to impress me as the years progress. [/i]

As for Guns N Roses, without Slash, this band lacks the creativity and the much needed fluidity that makes this band worthwhile.

Metallica all the way!!!!

-Joseph

[zepp_rules]

Guns N' Roses definately. They've done so much to revive hard rock from those "glam" bands.

[Christoph]

Metallica.

[stratman42]

I prefer gnr's early stuff with the real band, but now its just axl i have to say

Metallica

[space ace]

Metallica are the most over-rated band of all time Guns'n'roses are a million and a half times better.

I vote Guns'n'Roses

[Led Zeppelin]

Alright Metallica just.


Round #4


Deep Purple vs. The Who

[zepp_rules]

while deep purple is good, the who have lasted longer and have a lot more substance. my vote is: the who

[space ace]

As much as Deep Purple rock I have to go with The Who just because they were one of few bands to save rock and roll from that rut in the earily-mid sixties.

The Who.

[PeptoB]

The Who.
Listen to any of their songs and you'll agree with me.

[Zeppelin]

Deep Purple
to compare blackmore and townshend is like comparing me and jimmy page..
you people dont know what you are talking about... deep purple (in the early 70's) were much more than the smoke on the water band... they made a long way from their progressive beginning till their heavier and funkier albums like burn and they were good at it all.

[stratman42]

Deep Purple

I prefer blackmore as a guitarist

[Led Zeppelin]

The Who win 3-2

Round 5

Thin Lizzy vs Lynyrd Skynyrd

[zepp_rules]

skynyrd all the way

[PeptoB]

Lynyrd Synyrd. Just because 'Sweet home alabama' is one of my favorite songs.

[BluesShredder]

Lynyrd Skynyrd

[space ace]

Thin Lizzy all the way, the most under-rated band ever.

[Led Zeppelin]

Alright Skynyrd win


Round #6


The Beatles vs The Rolling Stones

[Zeppelin]

Probably the only one to say so, but my vote goes to the stones..
i like them for being the "Bad boys" in their time

[BluesShredder]

The Rolling Stones

[stratman42]

Stones

The beatles just made bubble-gum pop. The stones were a real rock group

[zepp_rules]

stones

[Christoph]

You guys must all be pretty old, because of the last three or so competitions, I haven't had a clue about who the bands were or what their songs were.

Not to say that I haven't heard their songs, because I'm sure I have. If I heard a Beetles song or a Deep Purple song I wouldn't be able to say, "Hey, that's the Beetles . . ." and so forth.

[Zeppelin]

How can it be that you dont know the beatles???
and deep purple is the band that did smoke on the water
offocrse they are much more than the "smoke on the water band" but this is their most famous song

[Led Zeppelin]

Alright I expected the Beatles to win there but the Stones won.



Round #7


Nirvana vs Neil Young & Crazy Horse


Kings of grunge against the creator of grunge(and his band)

[space ace]

Neil Young all the way. Nirvana were bigger but they just plain ****in' suck horse ****.

Oh my god. You couldn't tell a Beatle song if you heard it. I bet you didn't even know that Thin Lizzy wrote "The Boys are Back in Town" you probably thought ****in' Everclear did.

[Christoph]

I'd actually never even heard of "Thin Lizzy" until Zep had them in his contest.

And until today, when someone told me otherwise, I thought that Aerosmith wrote Come Together.



I guess old crap music just isn't everyone's cup 'o tea.

[Christoph]

By the way, I've never heard of "Crazy Horse" either, so chalk one up for Nirvana . . .

[BluesShredder]

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

as Neil said in 1986 Crazy Horse is the 3rd best garage band in the world

[stratman42]

A difficult one for me - i'm a big fan of both and a youngster, but

Crazy Horse

[Led Zeppelin]

Alright I dont know why but I think Ill go for another old one.



Round #8


Black sabbath vs Ozzy and his band post Sabbath

[BluesShredder]

Ozzy & Randy Rhoads

[zepp_rules]

i would have to say ozzy with rhoads on this one

[Christoph]

Post Black Sabbath Ozzy.

[Lordathestrings]

Post-Sabath Ozzy.

Black Sabath broke new ground with their first album, but after that they just kept re-hashing sameoldsameold.

Black Sabath became B.S.

[Christoph]

Hahaha. Good one.

Yup, after that first album their music was crap at best.

[Mr. Vai]

i pick both!

[Led Zeppelin]

Ozzy and Randy Rhoads and Crazy Horse won Round 7.

Round #9

Aerosmith vs Iron Maiden

[zepp_rules]

aerosmith

[stratman42]

IRON MAIDEN

EDDIE FOR PRIME MINISTER

UP THE IRONS!!!!!!!!

[space ace]

I go with Maiden, Aerosmith had a few good albums but now their a bunch of sell-outs.

Maiden forever.


Where's Priest.

[stratman42]

Yeh, priest better be in here somewhere, otherwise its not worth it

[Led Zeppelin]

Led Zeppelin all the way.

[zepp_rules]

[PeptoB]

Led Zepp

[stratman42]

LED ZEP (i could say about their influence on me like i did before, but i decide just to rant generally, as it takes up more space)

[Led Zeppelin]

[PeptoB]

I agree with Tolkien and Christoph.

[Tolkien]

Woo Wooo Pll agree with me :)

[Lordathestrings]

Led Zeppelin
Pink Floyd
Jimi Hendrix

I've gotta give top spot to the 'Zep because of the depth and diversity of their material.

Pink Floyd next, for quality and longevity.

Jimi Hendrix died too damn young, plain and simple. If he was still with us, he might still be showing us how its done, but the fact is, we just can't know!

[Tolkien]

Echoes
Wish You Were here
Shine on You Crazy Dimond
