Another pointless comparison thread

[Documad]

Madonna vs. Janet Jackson: I'm giving it to Janet

Dean Martin vs. Frank Sinatra: Dean

Nsync vs. Backstreet Boys: who cares?

Joni Mitchell vs. Emmylou Harris: tie

I had a bunch of these earlier--trying to get people who made records in the same era and genre. Help me out.

[DroppinScience]

-Neither, but possibly Madonna if I had to choose

-Frank Sinatra. Nothing compares, plain and simple

-Neither, but Timberlake's solo career has its moments

-I need to be more familiar with Joni Mitchell and Emmylou Harris, but from what I know... Emmylou.

[hellojello]

this should be a poll (y)
or..polls
but since i'm here

Madonna vs. Janet Jackson: Madonna for making everyone THINK she was a black chick b4 they saw her film clips and also for the cone shaped bra

Dean Martin vs. Frank Sinatra: Sinatra because I think Dean Martin is... um no wait I don't think

Nsync vs. Backstreet Boys: they are both GAYER than the white stripes AND jet combined :eek:

Joni Mitchell vs. Emmylou Harris: err is there another one of those generational things going on here?

[roni]

debbie gibson or tiffany?

the osmands or jackson five?

brady bunch or the partridge family?

vanilla ice or snow? (a licky boom boom down) :D

tori amos or fiona apple?

usher or justin timberlake?

moby or fatboyslim?

yoyo ma or joshua bell?

britney or christina?

lindsey or hilary?

i can go on, but i won't. yeah, i subscribe to people magazine so i got a lot of useless things to talk about...so i thought i would contribute :D

[Bobtwi]

The Hulk vs The Thing.Gomez vs Herman Munster.Johnny Sacko vs Ultra Man.NKOTB vs me.P.E. vs BOOGIE DOWN.

[Tzar]

megadeth vs metallica
RATM vs audioslave
eminem vs beasties <--- pftthahaha

[WhoMoi?]

I agree with Janet Jackson over Madonna...that was a close one though, vocally.

debbie gibson or tiffany? Debbie Gibson...she has the advantage in that she plays piano and composes, plus I always thought Tiffany's voice kind of sucked.

brady bunch or the partridge family? Partridge Family, because I get those damn songs stuck in my head like you wouldn't believe!

vanilla ice or snow? Vanilla Ice. Informer is enough of a reason for that choice.

tori amos or fiona apple? Tori HANDS DOWN. She's just way more talented vocally and worlds beyond Fiona as a pianist. I am sort of biased though, being a huge fan of hers. (Just saw her live for the 5th time a couple weeks ago, she is so amazing!!!)

usher or justin timberlake? Tough one. I'll have to go with JT, only because Usher always seems to me to be oozing egotism and that is just annoying.

britney or christina? I'll have to go with Christina because she could get by on her voice alone (if she so chose), whereas we all know Britney wouldn't be successful if it was just a talent thing.

Here are some others:

Sarah McLachlan or Sheryl Crow

Pearl Jam or Soundgarden

Whitney Houston or Gloria Estefan

The Go Gos or the Bangles

Jurassic 5 or A Tribe Called Quest

[DroppinScience]

debbie gibson or tiffany?

Tiffany, I guess.

the osmands or jackson five?

A-B-C! It's easy as 1-2-3! So yeah, Jackson 5

brady bunch or the partridge family?

How about I barf first?

vanilla ice or snow? (a licky boom boom down) :D

Vanilla. Those shots of his hair inspired a whole generation. :eek:

tori amos or fiona apple?

Not really familiar with either of their work, but Fiona. She's like the hottest neurotic girl.

usher or justin timberlake?

Timberlake. He can actually throw down some decent songs.

moby or fatboyslim?

Love 'em both, but Moby wins by miles!

yoyo ma or joshua bell?

Yo-Yo-Ma! ;)

britney or christina?

Christina... she's so dirrty. Plus I don't mind her song "Beautiful".

lindsey or hilary?

Lindsay Lohan is a total bitch, but hot as hell. Hilary wins some sympathy for Linday being too psycho towards her. Draw.

[DroppinScience]

Here are some others:

Sarah McLachlan or Sheryl Crow

Pearl Jam or Soundgarden

Whitney Houston or Gloria Estefan

The Go Gos or the Bangles

Jurassic 5 or A Tribe Called Quest

Sheryl Crow. Sarah McLachlan is far too prissy.

Pearl Jam. They are amazing. Soundgarden was good too, but Eddie Vedder owns.

Whitney or Gloria? Who cares.

The Go-Gos. They got the beat. :)

Jurassic 5. Tribe did some great stuff, but I find J5 more inspirational.

No reason for me to post. :) I think Tori is a nut, but she's great. Last time I saw her in concert, she stopped and bitched nicely at the technician because she said her piano sounded bad. Like anyone but her could tell.

Sarah McLachlan or Sheryl Crow - I would have said Sheryl before she started dating Lance Armstrong.

Pearl Jam or Soundgarden - Pearl Jam

Whitney Houston or Gloria Estefan - Whitney. I will never forgive Gloria for the early videos. I know Whitney's weren't much better, but ever so slightly.

The Go Gos or the Bangles - Go Gos because I played their first record till it wore out!

[The Notorious LOL]

Jurassic 5. Tribe did some great stuff, but I find J5 more inspirational.


hahah

[DroppinScience]

hahah

Doesn't compare to Fiddy, right?

[The Notorious LOL]

tribe or snorassic 5 and you said snorassic 5. lols for days.

[YoungRemy]

wait, wait, lets go back, regarding Emmylou Harris and Joni Mitchell, two influential artists from the 60s and 70s...

Im going with joni, has anyone here heard "Miles of Aisles" with the LA express??

[adrockmelanie]

usher or justin timberlake? usher can dance. but i think they're both fucking ugly as hell and i don't like either of their kinds of music.

Pearl Jam or Soundgarden - soundgarden owned back in their day. i always hated pearl jam.

RATM vs audioslave - rage. fuckin duh.

[RobMoney]

Pulp Fiction or Reservoir Dogs.

Peanut Butter or Jelly

Black or white

Up or down

Half empty or half full




.....what if D-O-G really spelled Cat?

[cosmo105]

Sheryl Crow. Sarah McLachlan is far too prissy.
jeez. have you ever actually listened to Sarah McLachlan? Sheryl Crow is a skankenstein and a half. look at her. she's ridiculous. her songs are so whitewashed and bland. i haven't listened to Sarah in years, but her very early albums were incredible. She's an artist. Sheryl Crow is a commodity.

[abcdefz]

Janet.

Frank.

Backstreet Boys.

Joni.

[cosmo105]

Joni.
this is a tough one. i'm inclined to say Joni, but i think Emmylou's done better things recently than Joni has...but i guess i'll have to agree.

I'm not a Sheryl Crow fan, but I'll take her over Sarah anytime. Sarah is BO-RING. "I Will Remember You"? I'd rather forget that I've heard that song played a billion times. (n)

okay, okay, that song sucks. but her older stuff is awesome. wait, why am i arguing with someone that chooses J5 over tribe?

[ToucanSpam]

Resevoir Dogs OLDHEAD. Seriously.

Jelly, it doesnt stick to the roof of your mouth, like semem (har har) or
Peanut Butter

White, I like to go first in chess.

Up.

Half full. Rennaisance humanism has changed me for the better.

[DroppinScience]

okay, okay, that song sucks. but her older stuff is awesome. wait, why am i arguing with someone that chooses J5 over tribe?

That opinion is temporary. I've got just one Tribe album, and I've got two J5 albums.

I'll get back to you when I hear more, okay?

EDIT - Regarding Sarah and Sheryl. My Dad is a huge fan of both of them, so I've been forced to hear lots of stuff by them. Sheryl can have a good time. Sarah makes me want to slit my wrists. That's that.

[cosmo105]

listen to more Sarah

[ToucanSpam]

Sarah MacLaughlein or whatever it is, is coming to Halifax. I think she is good.


Alanis Morrisette or deafness?

[Documad]

I have friends who love Sarah, but I could never get into her. I've only heard the painfully boring later stuff. Even though her voice is beautiful. I dislike Sheryl and always have so it was close, but I'm with DS.

BTW -- this thread is an embarrassment--the idea, not the responses. :o

[b-grrrlie]

Madonna vs. Janet Jackson: Madonna, no question about it

Dean Martin vs. Frank Sinatra: Sinatra of course

Nsync vs. Backstreet Boys: neither, but Timberlake is gooood

Joni Mitchell vs. Emmylou Harris: have to say Joni, because of childhood memories, haven't heard Emmylou that much

debbie gibson or tiffany? who?

the osmonds or jackson five? hmmmm.... Crazy Horses rocked....

brady bunch or the partridge family? that 70's show

vanilla ice or snow? (a licky boom boom down) snow

tori amos or fiona apple? Tori Amos, with a thousand mile advantage

usher or justin timberlake? Justin

moby or fatboyslim? Fatboy Slim

yoyo ma or joshua bell? who?

britney or christina? *insert puking smiley*

lindsey or hilary? who?

megadeth vs metallica? Metallica

RATM vs audioslave? I'd say Audioslave because of the singer's nipples at Hultsfred festival

eminem vs beasties? silly question. which forum am I on?

Sarah McLachlan or Sheryl Crow? don't know who Sarah is, so Sheryl

Pearl Jam or Soundgarden? Pearl Jam

Whitney Houston or Gloria Estefan? I loved to dance to Whitney's first single, but then my friend's husband has produced some Gloria....

The Go Gos or the Bangles? Bangles

Jurassic 5 or A Tribe Called Quest? tough one, maybe Jurassic 5 cause they were awesome live

Pulp Fiction or Reservoir Dogs? Pulp fiction

Peanut Butter or Jelly? never eaten jelly

Black or white? black

Up or down? down, it's easier

Half empty or half full? half full

.....what if D-O-G really spelled Cat? woof?

Alanis Morrisette or deafness? deafness.....

[CiaoBellaXO]

cheech or chong

[Sandinista!]

Underrated synth-pop:
ABC vs. Information Society

Berlin-Era Bowie:
Bowie's "Low" vs Bowie's "Heroes"

Crappy, later-day albums from rock dinosaurs circa 1976:
Sabbath's "Technica Ecstasy" vs Zeppelin's "Presence"

[ScarySquirrel]

N*Sync is way better than the Backstreet Boys. Come on, folks.

[Documad]

the osmonds or jackson five? hmmmm.... Crazy Horses rocked....
Holy cow, I never thought I'd say it on the BBMB, but Crazy Horses, did, indeed rock. I LOVED that song when I was in 2nd grade!

[WhoMoi?]

Sheryl Crow is a skankenstein and a half. look at her. she's ridiculous. her songs are so whitewashed and bland. i haven't listened to Sarah in years, but her very early albums were incredible. She's an artist. Sheryl Crow is a commodity.

I couldn't have put it better myself.
Sheryl has one song that I really like (Strong Enough), and the rest of them (Soak up the Sun in particular) annoy the crap out of me.
I can understand some people not really digging Sarah that much if they've only heard her radio singles. I Will Remember You and Adia are songs that I don't really like and got so overplayed. Fumbling Toward Ecstasy was an amazing album though, and Surfacing has some great moments too. She is a really amazing singer, and also a good lyricist. Sheryl Crow's voice can just grate right through to my last nerve sometimes.

[cosmo105]

^EXACTLY!
