I'm not concerned about which is the better band, but which band would actually win in a fight.
Air Supply
vs.
Savage Garden
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!
Losing is like fertilizer: it stinks for a while, then you get used to it. (Tony, Hibbing)
Air Supply would destroy them.
PRINCE
VS.
BOY GEORGE
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
vs.
Whitney Houston
Losing is like fertilizer: it stinks for a while, then you get used to it. (Tony, Hibbing)
Whitney Houston now? Or back then?
I'm thinking Whitney Houston qa 2005 or thereabouts
Losing is like fertilizer: it stinks for a while, then you get used to it. (Tony, Hibbing)
Houston. The Decemberists couldn't even fight because they'd be trying to think of ways that the confrontation could be portrayed as ironic.Quoting bac0n (view post)
Ween
VS.
Helloween
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
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
VS.
The Smoking Popes
Sinead would tear them to pieces. Literally.
Steely Dan
Vs.
Hall & Oates
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
The Princess and the Pilot - B-
Playtime (rewatch) - A
The Hobbit - C-
The Comedy - D+
Kings of the Road - C+
The Odd Couple - B
Red Rock West - C-
The Hunger Games - D-
Prometheus - C
Tangled - C+
: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.
The Princess and the Pilot - B-
Playtime (rewatch) - A
The Hobbit - C-
The Comedy - D+
Kings of the Road - C+
The Odd Couple - B
Red Rock West - C-
The Hunger Games - D-
Prometheus - C
Tangled - C+
GZA just because he has badass backup. You mess with him, you mess with the honorable clan.
The Darkness
vs
Bright Eyes
Movie Theater Diary
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
vs.
Hilary Duff
This is the only right answer.
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
vs.
Dancing Hippy Stoner From The Happy Mondays
Losing is like fertilizer: it stinks for a while, then you get used to it. (Tony, Hibbing)
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

Air
... or...
Aqua
"Listen man, it might be hard to understand, but
Don't mourn the dead,
Celebrate the life they gave"
- Kashmir "Seraphina"
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
vs.
Buckethead
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
VS.
The Sex Pistols
debatable.
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
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
Oh ok, just skip mine. Asswanks.
