How can you have heard an artist without listening to the albums?

[Shaun]

bump.

[Shaun]

hang the **** on

why are RHCP now ****ING DRAWING WITH QUEEN!?

beating Pink Floyd was a piss-take, but ffs...they're ****!

[Ramsay]

RCHP are amazing

[setanta]

This is turning into a total farce really. Pink Floyd out? Radiohead out? Are you all deranged?

RHCP are brilliant!!

[Shaun]

okay, maybe **** was an exaggeration, but better than Queen and Pink Floyd they are not.

[InOne]

All depends on what you like, people only prefer Queen cos they wers supposedly one of the 'greats'

I prefer RHCP to both those bands, it's just personal taste at the end of the day

But then why have a popularity contest if you aren't happy with the results? Sorry to be the pedantic mess, but y'know, RHCP appeal more than Queen and Pink Floyd, apparently.

[LemonJam]

I don't like the fact the Smashing Pumpkins are out but I'm not going to bitch and whine about it. Other bands are just more popular.

have you heard full albums on the majority of artists you either don't care about or don't like? Artists put out single as a way of letting people know who they are and what kind of music they're for and if someone doesn't like that what would provoke them to go buy a whole album by that artist?

I do this because it's something to do and it gives forum-users something to do.

I'm just as entitled to be pissed off by the results.

[Ramsay]

oh thank god the who got a second chance LOL

[setanta]

By the way, who knocked Talking Heads out?

[Shaun]

I think they fell at the first hurdle

[setanta]

Ridiculous

[Alf]

the cure beat the stones?
that's like saying onkur judge is a better singer than leona lewis

[Shaun]

i love the cure but I have to agree

[Tom4784]

If Muse loses to U-*****ing boring waste of space-2 then I won't be happy. ANY band but....that...

[Shaun]

lili, Dezzy and MrGaryy have helped me do a wonderful draw. Muse beat U2 in the tie, GNR saw off R.E.M. and the Who defeated Mr. marley.

Queen vs. The Beatles
Blur vs. The Cure
Muse vs. Blondie
The Who vs. Guns N Roses
