Stones vs. Beatles = easiest single decision so far...Beatles

VU vs. Prince = as I said before *feel free to incorporate solo albums* - doing so leaves you with 10-15 A++ classic VU albums whereas Prince has like 9 maybe. also: remember the stuff Prince said about gay people recently. you are also allowed to take that into your decision making process.

iatee, Friday, 23 July 2010 02:07 (fifteen years ago)

OTOH you are not allowed to incorporate anything lou reed has ever said, ever

iatee, Friday, 23 July 2010 02:12 (fifteen years ago)

Stones, Velvets

Beatles, Prince obv

The Reverend, Friday, 23 July 2010 02:15 (fifteen years ago)

I honestly don't care that Prince hasn't made a spectacular album in over 20 years. It's been even longer than that for either Reed or Cale. As for Beatles vs. Stones... Beatles easy.

Johnny Fever, Friday, 23 July 2010 02:16 (fifteen years ago)

Beatles, Velvet Underground

Bee OK, Friday, 23 July 2010 02:16 (fifteen years ago)

two of my favorite artists vs two i barely give a shit about

The Reverend, Friday, 23 July 2010 02:16 (fifteen years ago)

wrong way up and songs for drella are 20 and 21 years old

iatee, Friday, 23 July 2010 02:17 (fifteen years ago)

xp Bitter much?

Fig On A Plate Cart (Alex in SF), Friday, 23 July 2010 02:17 (fifteen years ago)

fragments of a rainy season is 18!

iatee, Friday, 23 July 2010 02:19 (fifteen years ago)

uh, it's not as if just started not caring about vu after they beat stevie

The Reverend, Friday, 23 July 2010 02:19 (fifteen years ago)

and they beat him so hard

iatee, Friday, 23 July 2010 02:19 (fifteen years ago)

Sun Ra, Oum Kalthoum

_Rudipherous_, Friday, 23 July 2010 02:20 (fifteen years ago)

actually I think the 3 VU results were the 3 biggest margins so far

iatee, Friday, 23 July 2010 02:21 (fifteen years ago)

Honestly I am bit surprised by the outpouring of VU love in these polls.

Fig On A Plate Cart (Alex in SF), Friday, 23 July 2010 02:21 (fifteen years ago)

Songs for Drella = zzzzz. I never even bothered listening to Wrong Way Up.

I actually kind of like Lou Reed's sporadic run from 1989-2000, but I wouldn't call any of them spectacular. Cale's been asleep since Music for a New Society.

Johnny Fever, Friday, 23 July 2010 02:22 (fifteen years ago)

wrong way up is 100% classic imo

iatee, Friday, 23 July 2010 02:24 (fifteen years ago)

Anyway, like I said before, I could put all the VU songs I like on a single cd. They were capable of greatness, but just as easily capable of non-greatness. (This is true for Prince as well, but at least he released entire albums I love.)

Johnny Fever, Friday, 23 July 2010 02:25 (fifteen years ago)

i have a feeling that the Velvet Underground might win this whole thing.

Bee OK, Friday, 23 July 2010 02:25 (fifteen years ago)

I certainly don't plan to vote for them over the Stones.

chuck entertainment cheese (crüt), Friday, 23 July 2010 02:27 (fifteen years ago)

wait no, they're up against prince. still, I think I might have to give prince the edge.

chuck entertainment cheese (crüt), Friday, 23 July 2010 02:28 (fifteen years ago)

if it came down to stones vs vu i think i would abstain just because i wouldn't really care at that point

The Reverend, Friday, 23 July 2010 02:29 (fifteen years ago)

beatles & prince because I'm feelin kinda hongro today

chuck entertainment cheese (crüt), Friday, 23 July 2010 02:29 (fifteen years ago)

Beatles, Prince

this was very easy

ASBO slice (J0rdan S.), Friday, 23 July 2010 02:30 (fifteen years ago)

This should've been Fleetwood Mac, The Cure, Abba, and Black Sabbath.

grab you by the boo-boo and don't let go (kkvgz), Friday, 23 July 2010 02:32 (fifteen years ago)

stones really don't have a shot, do they? I mean I like them fine but are they really final four material? if steely dan or bob dylan were in west I don't think the stones would be here.

iatee, Friday, 23 July 2010 02:34 (fifteen years ago)

should've been James Brown, James Brown, James Brown, CCR

chuck entertainment cheese (crüt), Friday, 23 July 2010 02:34 (fifteen years ago)

I would vote for the Stones over Steely Dan or Dylan in a heartbeat

chuck entertainment cheese (crüt), Friday, 23 July 2010 02:35 (fifteen years ago)

Out of those three, I'd take Dylan without blinking.

Johnny Fever, Friday, 23 July 2010 02:36 (fifteen years ago)

Beatles, Velvets

Dodo Lurker (Slim and Slam), Friday, 23 July 2010 02:38 (fifteen years ago)

oh shit this poll is closing tomorrow? I always screw up with the dates

iatee, Friday, 23 July 2010 02:47 (fifteen years ago)

I imagine it won't get 153 votes again unless it becomes a clusterfuck

iatee, Friday, 23 July 2010 02:47 (fifteen years ago)

let's discuss...race

iatee, Friday, 23 July 2010 02:48 (fifteen years ago)

Maybe you should re-do the poll to avoid riots (over the closing date)?

_Rudipherous_, Friday, 23 July 2010 02:51 (fifteen years ago)

(Apologies for being so present tonight. I'm tired and need some cheap, easy entertainment.)

_Rudipherous_, Friday, 23 July 2010 02:51 (fifteen years ago)

hmmmm

iatee, Friday, 23 July 2010 02:53 (fifteen years ago)

do other people think this is something worth redoing? I mean I am perfectly fine w/ the race war solution.

iatee, Friday, 23 July 2010 02:55 (fifteen years ago)

can a mod modify the closing date?

Bee OK, Friday, 23 July 2010 03:00 (fifteen years ago)

nope

iatee, Friday, 23 July 2010 03:01 (fifteen years ago)

oh what the hell I'll remake it

iatee, Friday, 23 July 2010 03:05 (fifteen years ago)
