hey guys a disclaimer -
van halen is what the mind said and i voted for them but in my heart despite their serious goof up's The band i'd pick anyday between these two would be GNR
why ? - 'sweet child o' mine ' is not just one but The reason i can forgive all their wild rides and still be loyal to them.....(but letting slash go - never !!!)
:mad
the fight begins (pls - dont let emotions flare up, this is just some random info and some of it is seriously baised - so read/enjoy/fret but forget.....ok here we go...........)
reasoning -
a) no of crew GNR 22 VH 8
round 1 to van halen as the body was intact more or less
b) no of albums 6 12
round 2 to van halen as the they produced twice the number
c) age of the band 26 yrs 37 yrs
round 3 to van halen due age/experience
d) universal appeal
round to gnr due to better fame/recognition internationally
(i have traveled extensively in my career and almost everybody who was
even remotely into english music knew gnr, music buffs heard of both of
course)
e) haunting number / most recognized anthem
round to gnr for 'sweet child o mine'
f) awards won 10 nos 6 nos
round to gnr as they won more in a shorter span
tie - so we have the sudden death now
gnr-slash = sacrilage !!!!!
van halen - roth = still van halen ...........
so we have the winner - van halen !!!!!!!!!!!
never knew i was good at worthless and meaningless analysis.....
but then i never knew that this wonderful forum turns nuts into coconuts !!!!!!
