A New Game

I came up with a new game in the pub last night. The idea is to pick an artist, then describe them in terms of other bands. Nothing new so far, but you have to do it twice -- one a comparison that makes you like the artist, and one that puts you off completely. Example - The Streets: I like The Streets because they're a cross between The Specials and The So Solid Crew. I dislike The Streets because they're a cross between Smiley Culture and Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine.

Anybody else want to play?

Unfortunately both those sound ace. (predictable but true answer - Smiley Culture's "Police Officer" = funniest comedy record ever!)

Quite possibly, but you'd never find a press officer willing to sell The Streets that way :-)

It is a good game though.

I like X-Press 2 because they're a cross between Inner City and the Chemical Brothers, I don't like X-Press 2 because they're a cross between Scooter and the production from the Geri Halliwell version of "It's Raining Men".

I like A Certain Ratio because they're a cross between Tones on Tail and David Byrne, circa Catherine Wheel.
I hate A Certain Ratio because they're a cross between Japan and the Average White Band.

I like Van Halen because they're a cross between Cheap Trick and AC/DC. I hate Van Halen because they're a cross between KISS and Ted Nugent.

I like Hefner because they're a cross between Belle and Sebastian and the Field Mice. I hate Hefner because they're a cross between Air and Silver Sun.

This is just an opportunity to masturbate on how much you know about bands (preferably obscure ones).

'I like Van Halen because they're a cross between Cheap Trick and AC/DC. I hate Van Halen because they're a cross between KISS and Ted Nugent'

How 'bout 'I like Van Halen because they're a cross between Cheap Trick (Move x Aerosmith [good], Big Star x Fleetwood Mac [bad] and AC/DC (Easybeats x Them [good], Savoy Brown x Ten Years After [bad]). I hate Van Halen because they're a cross between KISS (Slade x Grand Funk Railroad [good], Elton John x WWF [not as good as it sounds]and Ted Nugent [MC5 x Vanilla Fudge [good], Robin Trower x Rush Limbaugh [?????????])'

Radiohead suck because they're a cross between Pink Floyd and U2 but they're a cool cross between Kansas and Lena Zavaroni

Strokes - great hybrid of Elastica and N'Sync, or nightmarish cross between Sonic Youth and the Jam?

Korn = hideous mutant bastard offspring of RHCP and Rod McKuen, or inspired juxtaposition of Faith No More and the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards
