Music suggestions

After having a large number of people chime in on the Sabbath vs. AC/DC trashdome this weekend and because were running out of good gaming trashdomes, I'm thinking we should run a music trashdome for the next month or so. I'm open for suggestions.

scissors: Now can we have a trashdome of Black Flag against Minor Threat or Dead Kennedys vs the clash or something?

I'd put the Exploited up against Black Flag or Dead Kennedys.

Who would you put up against Bowie? Reed / VU? Sting/ Police?

Who would you put up against U2?

Who would you put up against the Clash?

Who would you put up against the Led Zeppelin?

Who vs. Stones?

Morrissey / Smiths vs. New Order/Joy Divsion?

Miles vs. Coltrain or Bird

Ludwig van vs. Wolfgang Amadeus

Suggestions Because we don't have thumbs up / thumbs down Please quote or repeat suggestions like so I can get a count of the good suggestions.

Bowie vs Springsteen?

U2 vs The Police?

Clash vs Ramones?

Zeppelin vs Pink Floyd?

Elvis vs Beatles?

Iron Maiden vs Metallica?

Run DMC vs Public Enemy?

The Specials vs Madness?

Bob Marley vs Lee Perry (or Jimmy Cliff)?

The Jam vs Buzzcocks?

Misfits vs GWAR?

Johnny Cash vs Waylon Jennings (or Willie Nelson)?

Nirvana vs Grunge?

Pearl Jam vs Soundgarden?

Live vs Stone Temple Pilots?

Green Day vs Rancid?

Thin Lizzy vs The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?

(EDIT: These pairings may be mainstream, but I feel we need the acts to be somewhat popular and well known for more participation. The trick is going to be finding pairings for more recent artists that many have opinions on. The Sword vs Wolfmother? The Killers vs The Strokes? Jay Z vs Lil' Wayne? Dropkick Murphys vs Flogging Molly? I dunno..)

Please don't ask me to choose between Miles and Coltrane. That's just cruel.

ZZ Top vs Rush

U2 vs. REM

Zeppelin vs. the Who

Most of my other suggestions Jeff already mentioned.

I like the idea of stepping out of rock and doing something different. The Jazz and Classical ones really appeal tome. Beethoven vs. Mozart... count me in, same thing with Coltrane vs. Davis... it's kind of a weird pairing but I'm in. More in that and other categories...

Liszt vs. Chopin
Bach vs. Handel
Vivaldi vs. Scarlatti
Stravinsky vs. Schoenberg

or Jazz stuff

Monk vs. Evans
Lenny Breau vs. Joe Pass

or Country

Cash vs. Williams
Townes Van Zandt vs. Guy Clarke

Songwriters

Leonard Cohen vs. Bob Dyaln
Neil Young vs. Tom Waits

High Pop

Jackson vs. Prince

The rock and metal stuff will be recommended by others I'm sure. I'd put Cream against Zeppelin though and if anyone faces the Stones it has to be the Beatles (this where we find out if you're a man or not).

Trying to mix it up a bit:

80s versus 90s?

Bieber versus Miley Cyrus?

Arcade Fire versus Broken Social Scene?

Neil Young versus Springsteen?

Beach Boys versus Kinks?

Radiohead versus Flaming Lips?

Elvis Presley versus Chuck Berry?

Sonic Youth versus Pavement?

Replacements versus Hüsker Dü?

Pixies versus Jane's Addiction?

Van Halen versus Scorpions?

Elvis Costello versus Brian Eno? (OK, a bit of a stretch, but could be an interesting discussion)

T. Rex versus KISS?

Burt Bacharach versus Phil Spector?

LCD Soundsystem versus Daft Punk?

Velvet Underground versus MC5?

Foo Fighters vs. Sugar Ray
Rob Zombie vs. Smash Mouth
Jewel vs. Alanis Morissette

Who would you put up against Bowie? Reed / VU? Sting/ Police?
-There really isn't anyone who could really be the guy to go up against Bowie mano-a-mano. I suppose you could put Morissey against him, but that's no contest. I'd have to say that Pink Floyd v. Bowie would be the fairest fight.

Who would you put up against U2?
Now that's a toughie too. I'd say The Police but U2 has been so prolific and Bono so philanthropic it's hard to compare them to anyone.

Who would you put up against the Clash?
Ramones.

Who would you put up against the Led Zeppelin?
Stones.

Who vs. Stones?
Zeppelin.

Morrissey / Smiths vs. New Order/Joy Divsion?
Try Smiths vs. The Cure

Miles vs. Coltrane
Davis. Consider that Davis HIRED Coltrane...
[/quote] Try Winton Marsalis v. Miles Davis. Still no comparison.

Enough is enough. Just pick one because I can't be arsed to vote for what we're going to be voting on.

Shit, I know nerds are anal but this is too much.....

Maybe we can vote for a person to put forward the suggestions for the pairings for us to vote on, then vote for our favourite pairing, before we vote on the actual pairing itself.

That's it I've just shot myself in the face.
