Round 2 Heat Eight: Battle of the Bands (rock, classic, quote)

Comus · 01-31-2009, 05:27 AM

This one's between:

The Kinks
Can
The Byrds
Gong
Thin Lizzy

Not expecting any surprises here, Kinks and Can both have huge followings here.

this is fucking cruel. My favourites will differ depending on disposition so I'll just vote for the one that hasn't got a chance because musicbanter is a rotting husk of corruption bent on annihilating all that is jangly

This is so true.

Going with Thin Lizzy on this one. Hard choice to make, though.

jackhammer · 01-31-2009, 09:44 AM

Really difficult as I like all of them. I'm not voting. I can't

Gong.

Can were more creative than any other band that came out of Germany in the seventies, and that's certainly saying something. They owe more to classical composers than the tenets and structures of conventional rock n' roll. Their vast influence on avant-garde music is rivaled by perhaps the Velvet Underground, and they were certainly far more interesting. Can is indeed the proverbial "shit."
