The first battle will be between.... Kiss and Aerosmith
Please pay attention to thread title when voting please.
Anyways, I think I shall put a vote in for once. I choose Muse. I like the singers voice better, and, in all honesty, is one of the only distinct voices of modern rock. I also love the almost creepy synth that gets thrown into the songs. Muse is one of the only modern bands I listen to, and therefore get my vote.
The score now is The Killers: 8 Muse: 5
It's been a while since I've said this, but if you have a suggestion for the next battle, feel free to post it on my profile.
oops pressed submit...anyway Resistence was amazing and the killers really dont have anything that really makes me want to listen to them repeatedly. Sooooooo......yea muse all the way
And it looks like this battle is finished. A final score has the tally at
The Killers: 8 Muse: 6
Any suggestions for new battles are welcome on my profile, but since there were none recently, I shall pick the new battle. Our new battle is a prog rock battle between a two groups considered to some of the greatest of all time. Rush vs. Yes
I think I'll have to vote for Yes. They are more my style of music and I don't really care all that much for Rush's lead singer's voice it borders on whiny. I can listen to them in small doses, but after a while it just gets on my nerves a little bit..
Um... this battle is one of the toughest ones so far.
Rush has one of the best drummers (if not the best) there are out there, good overall musical talent and several good albums like 2112, Hemispheres and A Farewell to Kings. Their weaker albums are also superior to Yes's weaker albums.
Yes, on the other side, has/had one of the best keyboard players and a great guitarist, superior musical skills (by just a liiiiiittle) and fascinating masterpieces like Close to the Edge and The Yes Album.
In conclussion, vote goes for Yes, because I feel they had a stronger influence in the development of current Prog than Rush does, and because their good albums are much more concise (and more enjoyable in general) than Rush's.
Rush! Definitely Rush. I like Yes and all, but Rush is awesome. Neil Peart has more tiger blood than Charlie Sheen ever could. He's a fantastic drummer AND lyricist.
Also, ironically, the members of Rush are actually big fans of Yes.
I vote for Yes. Fragile and Close to the Edge are absolute ****ing masterworks, even moreso than anything Rush ever put out, and Neil Peart's technical skill is about as important to the quality of Rush's music as sand is to dancing - and Bruford's skill was close enough anyway for it really not to be a factor at all. Jon Anderson is also best pony.
