Best Artist: Round 1: Poll 41 (punk, Okkervil River, The Ramones, artists, songs)

Okay you pick your favorite artists on here and then the top two winners go onto the next round and we repeat the process. Each poll is open for two days.

I'm voting for either Johnston or Guthrie but I'll wait to see who needs it.

Damn, this is tough. I'm leaning towards Guthrie, but I know he'll probably be crushed Round 2. I think there will be a lot more Johnston fans out there, it should be Guthrie and Johnston as top two. I'm going with Guthrie.

Can would be the obvious choice for a prog fan, but I'm going with The Ramones here.

Guthrie is someone I admire a lot, but I'm not gonna lie, I just don't care for that kinda music.

I don't see the appeal of Okkervil River, I've only heard a few songs, but they were so horrible you'd have to force me to listen to more.

Well I'm a pretty big CAN fan. They still blow my mind every time I listen to them.

Davey Moore · 04-08-2008, 12:22 AM

No Johnston votes? Pitiful.

Daniel Johnston is the greatest man ever.

The Ramones and Can are great. I haven't listened to the others so I am going to go with The Ramones. I am in a punk-mood right now anyways.

Can easily

Davey Moore · 04-08-2008, 04:41 PM

What a travesty that neither Guthrie or Johnston will move on. I guess nobody here likes folk music.

Since Guthrie and Johnston stand no chance I'll be throwing my vote to Okkervil River.
