Neither really. Example and Calvin both started off good but have declined sharply in my opinion.

I know Calvin's been around longer to decline - but I've liked virtually every single by Example. Plus I never really got the fuss over Calvin's debut album - "Acceptable in the 80s" was decent but omg The Girls

Prefer Example probably because I follow him on Twitter and find him amusing, but enjoy both.

Hmm..

Example: Won't Go Quietly, Last One's Standing, Kickstarts and Watch The Sun Come Up.

Calvin: Not Alone, Girls, Ready for the Weekend, Dance Wiv Me, Stars Come Out, You Use To Hold Me, Worst Day.


Calvin Harris Wins.

Example is cool, but I heard he's changing his sound.

Calvin's music is pretty sweet and he seems like a laid back 'IDGF' kind of guy - which makes him a legend.

Calvin Harris although I'm not really a fan of either. I have Calvin's second album even though I only like a few songs from it, rather regret buying it now. Saying that, I do love Flashback.

I liked it, and then I bought his album and heard the Album version of it; the extended intro is actually pure sex.
It was like my alarm last Summer.

Calvin Harris.

I couldn't even think of an Example song off the top of my head until I read the comments.

Kickstarts use to be epic until they kept replaying it in every single thing last year, it was like this:

First Half of 2010: Kickstarts played over every montage on any TV Show.
Second Half of 2010: Firework played over EVERYTHING.

Everytime I listen to 'Won't Go Quietly' it reminds me of Jack Branning getting shot.

Example. I don't normally like this type of music but I actually do like Example's stuff. Plus, I think he's a more diverse artist. Calvin Harris is pretty samey, but when you compare Won't Go Quietly/Kickstarts to his part in the video below, which I think will be more like the stuff on his new album, it's pretty different.
