Why the constant fascination with comparing bands? It almost always descends into a slanging match with noobs galore posting one sentence posts belittling the other bands.

If posts actually said something new then I would at least read them but it usually ends up as : 'No way that mid section had better shredding' and 'you don't know nothing, they rock' blah blah blah. Musicbanter is better than that. I'm not questioning peoples liking for particular bands, I am questioning the playground mentality of pointless comparisons that could be better served throwing out a long lost musical gem or championing a band that deserves recognition and the web is the best place for that.
