Death & the Maiden 07.19.2008 06:36 AM

The Cure vs. The Smiths
I love both bands, but I'll go with The Smiths because they're more consistent and have more classic songs.
Bob Dylan vs. Neil Young
Tie. I just discovered Neil Young, and I've known about Dylan for awhile, but I prefer it when his music is covered (The Byrds).
The Fall vs. Wire
The Fall. I'm only familiar with Wire's Pink Flag, and I have a few Fall albums so this one was easy.
Black Flag vs. Minor Threat
Black Flag. I haven't heard Minor Threat, and I really like pre-Henry Rollins BF.
Melt-Banana vs. Lightning Bolt
I haven't heard either.
Led Zeppelin vs. Black Sabbath
Led Zeppelin. I haven't heard BS yet.
Dinosaur Jr vs. Pixies
Dinosaur Jr. I haven't heard the Pixies yet, and I know a few Dinosaur Jr songs.
Ramones vs. The Clash
Tie. The Ramones were the band that got me into music, and The Clash had two fantastic albums.

The Cure vs. The Smiths
The Smiths, because for about three years they were my favourite band.

Bob Dylan vs. Neil Young

Dylan, because he has no equal in my mind.

The Fall vs. Wire
The Fall. Do I really have tyo bother even trying to say why?

Black Flag vs. Minor Threat
Black flag, because MT never did anything as good as Damaged

Melt-Banana vs. Lightning Bolt
Lightening Bolt, because they once cited a band i was in as an influence. I've never heard either though.

Led Zeppelin vs. Black Sabbath

Black Sabbath, because they're heavier

Dinosaur Jr vs. Pixies

Dinosaur Jr, because I've never understood the whole Pixies thing one bit.

Ramones vs. The Clash

The Ramones, because no other band has ever come so close to perfection.

Pookie 07.19.2008 06:18 PM

The Cure vs. The Smiths
The Smiths because they were great and I never liked The Cure.

Bob Dylan vs. Neil Young
Don't like either.

The Fall vs. Wire
Wire without a doubt.

Black Flag vs. Minor Threat
Black Flag (if you disregard everything after Damaged).

Melt-Banana vs. Lightning Bolt
Both become tedious very quickly, but Melt Banana were good each time I've seen them live.

Led Zeppelin vs. Black Sabbath
Don't like either.

Dinosaur Jr vs. Pixies
DJ because of You're Living All Over Me and because Pixies were shit.

Ramones vs. The Clash
The Clash without a doubt.

Pixies get compared to Dino way too much despite the fact that they are both way different.
IMO Built to Spill are closer to Dino's sound, while maintaining the catchy-ness of the Pixies

As for a band comparing to the Pixies, I'd say Pavement could be considered.

Torn Curtain 07.20.2008 09:33 AM

The Cure vs. The Smiths I love both of them though.

Bob Dylan vs. Neil Young I love both of them though.

The Fall vs. Wire

Black Flag vs. Minor Threat Don't know them well enough.

Melt-Banana vs. Lightning Bolt Don't know them well enough.

Led Zeppelin vs. Black Sabbath

Dinosaur Jr vs. Pixies Can't choose, I'm not a big fan of both bands but love the albums You're living over me and Doolittle.

Ramones vs. The Clash Just because The Clash suck (I'm not a big Ramones fan).
