Battle of the Bands!!!1

[bac0n]

I'm not concerned about which is the better band, but which band would actually win in a fight.

Air Supply

vs.

Savage Garden
http://www.geocities.com/vivekcog/Pictures/Together/pictog_07.jpg

Whoever responds needs to predict who would win and how, and then needs to put forth a colossal matchup of their own, and so on and so on and so on. GO!

[Ezee E]

Air Supply would destroy them.

PRINCE

VS.

BOY GEORGE
http://www.theage.com.au/ffximage/2007/05/01/George_narrowweb__300x394,0.jp g

[bac0n]

This would end in a stalemate. Boy George would be too strung out on heroin to mount much of an offense, and Prince is just so damned short, all he would be able to do would be to gnaw on Boy George's leg.

Okay, now for a tough one:

The Decemberists
http://www.genre-x.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/decemberists.jpg

vs.

Whitney Houston
http://hiphoprnbsoul.com/images/stories/rnb/whitneyhoustonpub.jpg

[Ezee E]

Whitney Houston now? Or back then?

[bac0n]

I'm thinking Whitney Houston qa 2005 or thereabouts

[D_Davis]

I'm thinking Whitney Houston qa 2005 or thereabouts

Houston. The Decemberists couldn't even fight because they'd be trying to think of ways that the confrontation could be portrayed as ironic.

Ween

VS.

Helloween

http://files.myopera.com/hfgenius/blog/24225_helloween.jpg

[Derek]

At first, I was tempted to say Helloween look like yer typical speed metal poseurs and would be rendered helpless by the puppy dog eyes. But these guys are German, so fuck that. They mean business and the Ween boys wouldn't be walking away with anything less than two crushed skulls.

Brian Wilson

VS.

Syd Barrett

[D_Davis]

If Wilson and Barret would face off, they would actually just end up building sand castles together in Wilson's indoor sand box. Barret would probably fall asleep at nap time, and while napping he would roll over on Wilson's best castle. Wilson would be so mad that he would dump a bucket of sand in Barret's eyes. Barret would then start crying and then he would call his mom to come pick him up, this rendering Wilson the winner.


Sinead O'Conner

http://www.smh.com.au/ffximage/2007/10/05/oconnor_lead_narrowweb__300x35 7,0.jpg


VS.


The Smoking Popes

http://www.artistdirect.com/Images/Sources/AMGPORTRAITS/music/portrait200/drp100/p101/p10178xo52n.jpg

[Sven]

Sinead would tear them to pieces. Literally.

Steely Dan
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v350/iosos/matchcut%20misc/steelydan1977lrg.jpg

Vs.

Hall & Oates
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v350/iosos/matchcut%20misc/Hall_Oates.jpg

[Qrazy]

The long hair would be a fatal flaw for Steely Dan. Although the bands appeared equally matched at first, Warren and Oates would end up spinning Steely and Dan around like toxtails and finally jettisoning them into orbit.

Talib Kweli

vs.

GZA

http://www.timeout.com/newyork/resizeImage/htdocs/export_images/624/624.x600.mr.gza.prev.jpg

[Sven]

...Warren and Oates...

:lol:

Was that on purpose?

[Qrazy]

:lol:

Was that on purpose?

Haha actually I was thinking about him after reading the band name, but then it just kind of Freudian slipped in there.

[number8]

GZA just because he has badass backup. You mess with him, you mess with the honorable clan.

The Darkness

vs

Bright Eyes

http://www.thisisfakediy.co.uk/upload/brighteyes300x300.jpg

[D_Davis]

The Darkness.

Juliana Hatfield
http://www.macdirectory.com/newmd/mac/pages/NTRVU/ASJ/ASJ_JulianaHatfield.jpg


VS.

Moby
http://blogs.chron.com/beltwayconfidential/moby.jpg

[Boner M]

Hatfield by default; Moby would call off the fight before it's even announced, and then go sit in the corner to eat his beloved grain. "Mmm, grain!", he says.

Laurie Anderson

http://blogs.epicindia.com/leapinthedark/Big%20Science.jpg

vs.

Hilary Duff

This is the only right answer.

[bac0n]

Laurie Anderson would vaporize Hillary Duff with the laser eyes she hides under those sunglasses of hers.

Next Matchup:

Skanking Guy From the Mighty Mighty Bosstones
http://www.skratchmagazine.com/bandimages/mmbosstones.jpg

vs.

Dancing Hippy Stoner From The Happy Mondays
http://depts.washington.edu/kexp/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/04/Bez.jpg

[number8]

Skanking guy, obviously, since he knows where he is and what he's actually doing.

That RATM wannabe band that sang DX's theme song

vs

The Max Weinberg 7

[Lasse]

Air

http://thephilter.com/Talkie_Walkie-Air_480.jpg

... or...

Aqua

http://i2-images.tv2.dk/s/01/2384501-69432918246a41ac8a6c622003a82d 79.jpeg

[Boner M]

Aqua FTW. Air would be like, "who are Aqua?" when it's announced that they're going to fight, and then the organizer would go "they did that Barbie Girl song..." and then the song would get stuck in the Air dudes' heads, and then both of their heads would explode. With air, of course.

Speaking of heads...


Radiohead

http://mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/radiohead.png

vs.

Buckethead

http://media.canada.com/8c8b3290-2b08-4dc6-8e3e-2cc645fdfe05/070221_buckethead.jpg

[Ezee E]

Heh. I forgot that I've met Laurie ANderson at a film festival. She was strange.

Oh... Radiohead may make better music, but nobody knows what's behind Buckethead, and I think that's why he'd win.

HENRY ROLLINS
http://www.ipass.net/jthrush/lolla-henry1.jpg

VS.

The Sex Pistols
http://www.gameguru.in/images/the-sex-pistols-gh-iii-1.jpg

[D_Davis]

Oh... Radiohead may make better music,...


debatable.

[Llopin]

Henry Rollins would obviously insult them to pieces, and Rotten would end up cryin' in some corner, with that ugly face of his. Rollins'd finish off guitar-raping them one by one. And then he'd just ironically bash techno music.

They Might be Giants
http://www.gearlog.com/images/tmbghand.jpg

VS.

The Durutti Column
http://philspector.files.wordpress.co m/2007/08/vini-reilly.jpg

[D_Davis]

They Might be Giants


VS.

The Durutti Column


Man - this is the hardest one yet.

I would want them both to win.

However, I have to give it to TMBG, simply because Vinnie Riley is so thin and frail I am sometimes surprised he can actually hold a guitar, let alone play better than what should be humanly possible.

Ian Curtis

VS.

Michael Hutchins

[number8]

Oh ok, just skip mine. Asswanks.

[Ezee E]

Oh ok, just skip mine. Asswanks.
Nobody would ever fight Weinberg, so that's why.
