lcd all the way. "yeah (crass)" is probably my favourite track of the century.

...but less than human is probably the best DFA album.

Less than Human bored me, but they're both great live.

I heard a few tracks from Maclean, really didn't see why people could say it was as good as LCD Soundsystem. I wonder if LCD's next album will suck, though.

i loved lcd's album the first listen. the second i was kinda bored with it. singles are the BOMB!(?) my vote goes for the Juan (and only).

I love LCD, but I think I just may love Juan Maclean's "Dance With Me" more than anything they do as well. However, "Losing My Edge" is like The Divine Comedy of dance music lyricism, and is far more clever than anything Juan has offered in that respect.

i vote for the juan maclean. he has more tunes i would come back to, again and again. the problem with most LCD tunes is that they don't have great replay value (as in, once you figure out the 'secret' of the track, get to the amazing breakdown or whatever, it sounds less surprising the more you listen to it.) that said, 'beat connection' is one of my favorite tunes ever and the lyrics pretty much encapsulate the new york experience (ha ha!) for me i think. much more than "losing my edge."

that said, the one breakdown in an LCD tune that i will never get sick of is the lindstrom remix of 'tribulations'.

i don't know... lcd soundsytem has more people in it, and maybe tyler knows kung fu or something, but Juan and those dudes are pretty fucking hardcore. plus they have glowsticks and shit. I'd say if it came down to it, the juan would win against lcd, but not after a good fight

LCD!

LCD by far. I never seem to remember TJM's tracks, though I like them when I hear them; I always remember LCD's.

juan maclean sucks, lcd sucks....but i do kinda like "i'm losing my edge"

so, i guess lcd wins this one.

jukebox jury with john maclean

I'd still go LCD, just. really wanna hear the next juan album though.

john(juan) maclean used to be in Six Finger Satellite. so that makes him cooler.
