Beatles (Prince #3)

― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 27 July 2010 00:33 (fifteen years ago)

I honestly believed Prince would make it into the final easily, but I wonder if there was a piss-off-Tuomas voting block.

― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 27 July 2010 00:34 (fifteen years ago)

Fuck this (you can all blow me #3)

― Poutine kissed boy "like a kitten" (jjjusten), Tuesday, 27 July 2010 00:35 (fifteen years ago)

could definitely imagine that of those 99 voters maybe just one of them voted to piss off tuomas

― iatee, Tuesday, 27 July 2010 00:36 (fifteen years ago)

seriously i didn't vote in the final four but i'm pretty sure having to vote for beatles/stones at the expense of either velvets or prince would have given me an aneurysm...

― demons a. real (Drugs A. Money), Tuesday, 27 July 2010 06:37 (fifteen years ago)

bah, what's the point? it was always going to be the fucking moptops!

― Chaim Poutine (NickB), Tuesday, 27 July 2010 12:43 (fifteen years ago)

I think it will take a coalition of:
a. people who actually prefer the velvet underground
b. people who like the beatles but just don't want the beatles to win
c. people who dislike both bands but especially don't want the beatles to win

prince isn't actually that popular here, but CERTAIN MODS REALLY LIKE HIM and that seems to translate to poll success, dunno why

― iatee, Tuesday, 27 July 2010 19:29 (fifteen years ago)

Prince isn't "that popular here"? Do an ILX search and you'll see the guy has like 50 different threads devoted to him.

― Tuomas, Tuesday, 27 July 2010 19:40 (fifteen years ago)

I believe you are mistaken - most of those threads are british people talking about their princes

Fwiw, USA and Britain, one black session musician or tour musician does not make a band "black".

no according to U.S. law it does, Pink Floyd has to be legally filed under "soul/R&B" in stores because of the live background singers they use on "Money"

So does that mean that Beatles are as hated by their non-fans as the Blue Devils are by theirs?

I still want to know why Stones fans prefer VU to Prince and Beatles fans prefer Prince to VU!

― Guayaquil (eephus!), Sunday, 1 August 2010 03:37 (fifteen years ago)

Because Stones fans prefer down and dirty rock 'n' roll and Beatles fans prefer eclecticism and melody.

― Moodles, Sunday, 1 August 2010 17:04 (fifteen years ago)

I'm not convinced Prince is stronger melodically than the Velvet Underground.

It's a generalization for sure, but I think there's a hint of truth to it.
