    Is Rock Dying A Slow Death?

    The optimist in me says no...rather that it's ripe for a revolution. This hasn't happened since Nirvana, but, prior to that, it hadn't happened since The Clash. Independent labels and the coverage they receive from critics, as well as YouTube, etc. give audiences greater access to more bands...

    White Stripes Vs Black Keys

    Both bands are talented and worth listening to, but this should not even be close. Specific albums aside, The White Stripes are by far the more important band overall. They came along first, and co-started a trend instead of coasting on the jet stream that a pre-existing trend had already...

    Best White Stripes Album?

    White Blood Cells is the most cohesive, fully realized album they put out, so it got my vote based on the nature of the poll/thread. Elephant and Get Behind Me Satan arguably have more standout tracks though.

    In the Court of the Crimson King vs The Piper at the Gates of Dawn

    While it's valid to rank any two albums relative to each other in that one must, by definition, be better, this not a particularly appropriate head-to-head comparison in that these two albums are not remotely similar even though the two bands that created them, when viewed in totality, are...

    If you could go back in time, which concert would you go to?

    Woodstock is the obvious choice, but its sheer breadth makes it a cop-out answer. So, specifically The Who's performance at Woodstock. The Tommy album, played more or less top to bottom, serving as the soundtrack to the sunrise, Pete whacking Abby Hoffman off of the stage with his guitar, and...

    Kick Out The Jams vs Summertime Blues

    Kick Out the Jams is a GREAT song, but I see it like this: 1. The original Summertime Blues by Eddie Cochran 2. Summertime Blues as covered by The Who on Live at Leeds 3. Kick Out the Jams Never heard the version of Summertime Blues that you posted...

    (Favorite Album) The Who: Who's Next vs A Quick One vs Quadrophenia

    Why isn't Tommy a choice? For me, it goes: 1. Who's Next 2. Tommy 3. Quadrophenia 4. Live at Leeds Those four (released consecutively: Tommy, Leeds, Who's Next, Quadrophenia) make up The Who's artistic peak to me. The stuff that came before (My Generation, A Quick One, Sell Out) is...

    Band On The Run vs Blonde On Blonde

    Blonde on Blonde by a mile. Four or five of Dylan's albums should tower over anything by an ex-Beatle, Imagine and Plastic Ono included.

    Pete Townshend, Bob Seger, Steve Miller among 2012 Songwriters Hall nominees

    If there's any justice, Pete, Lou Reed, and Tom Waits will get in. Aside from Elvis Costello, they're light years ahead of the rest of the field.

    Bayou Country vs Music From The Big Pink vs Workingman's Dead

    The thing is that CCR has better weapons to fight with than Bayou Country. I'd take Green River and possibly Cosmo's Factory over Big Pink, but Bayou Country? Not a chance.

    Bayou Country vs Music From The Big Pink vs Workingman's Dead

    Come on. Levon and The Hawks by a country mile.

    Born to Run vs The Stranger

    Re: Born to Run vs. The Stranger Although I slightly prefer Born to Run, I couldn't agree more. The reason I made this thread is because I was kind of interested in just how close the two albums are, despite the fact that Born to Run is so fawned over by critics, etc. Not sure why, but it...

    Lady Gaga to front Queen?

    I won't argue with that. Their music has certainly stood the test of time. I just won't care about any new material they record or consider their live show to legitimately be Queen.

    Lady Gaga to front Queen?

    No matter what Lady Gaga + Brian May et al might call themselves, Queen died along with Freddie Mercury.

    Pictures Of Lily vs See Emily Play

    The Who back when they were mod vs. crazy Syd Barrett's Pink Floyd is a tough one...went with The Who on this particular song match-up though.

    Born to Run vs The Stranger

    The blue-collar masterpiece or the lower middle-class masterpiece?

    Abbey Road vs Who's Next

    Yeah, I know The Who are gonna get massacred, but isn't this like The Beatles fourth of fifth best album? They don't walk on water, you know. Four dudes crossing the street < four rock gods pissing on a concrete piling, but that's just me.

    High Voltage. Motley Crue is a bad joke.

    Solo Artist Poll

    Only 11 votes (including mine) for Dylan? Ridiculous. Bob Dylan Neil Young David Bowie Van Morrison Bruce Springsteen Billy Joel (In that order)

    Camel vs Caravan vs Fuzzy Duck

    I wish I was knowledgeable enough to comment here. The first wave of prog was fantastic. I assume all these albums must bow to "In the Court?"
