I honestly think a lot of people are following Crowquill, but that is just me.

ill be content if David or Elliott wins

I kinda feel that way, Crowquill has a lot of pull on this site (which is completely understandable, he's nice, rational, and is on and posts a lot of non-spam related posts).

Also I think Elliott Smith is some indie icon, and since indie is the big craze he gets lots of votes.

I don't think he is the best band though, The Fall, Black Sabbath, and David Bowie (i'm ignoring Bright Eyes as a choice) have contributed much more groundbreaking, technically advanced music, which I believe constitutes a better band.

We're talking the BEST band in the scope of all bands. And a indie guy with a unique voice is the best band? I just don't get it.

I hope I made some sense in my ramblings.

you're dense...have you ever sat and thought that the reason so many people like elliott is because his music was amazing?

It isn't. Mozart is amazing, Led Zeppelin is amazing, Black Sabbath is amazing, The Beatles are amazing, etc. The bands that revolutionized music are amazing because they revolutionized music. This indie singer did not create enough original, influential material for him to be amazing.

I guess we just have different definitions of what constitutes good music.

its not a "the most influential artist" poll though, its a "who do you enjoy listning to the most" poll

yes ill admit black sabbath may have had more of an impact, but i honestly enjoy listning to elliott smith or the fall more then them.
I still voted for mah guy bowie though

cardboard adolescent · 05-06-2007, 08:51 PM

Although I couldn't keep myself from voting Black Sabbath, I'd much rather see Bowie take this one, after all, he kept things interesting, changed his sound, and made groundbreaking albums, whereas Elliot Smith just recorded a bunch of music that I find uninteresting, derivative and bland.

everyone accept the fact that we think Elliott is an amazing artist. As said before..this is a personal preference poll.

There they were in a pile. A pile of little arms. And I remember... I... I... I cried. I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out. I didn't know what I wanted to do. And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it. I never want to forget. And then I realized... like I was shot... like I was shot with a diamond... a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought: My God... the genius of that.
