The Who DEFEATS Elvis Costello

[CD]

Cast your vote!

[Guppy]

Who who who!
Who are you?

[TTB]

Wang is gonna be torn on this one...

The Who made the greater imprint historically but as I have with all my other votes I'm going with the choice I prefer actually listening to and in this case...its EC

[Reggie Cleveland]

TTB, time to reset that clock again.

You're cool with EC, but goofy about the Stones. "Washed up" I can probably live with, but "overrated?"

I'll smack you.

[cardinalgirl]

I hope the one I picked wins.

[Bleacher Creature]

Don't mess with my generation!!!

[Indu WangZi]

You know...I wish I could have organised this...I would have tries to pit these two up in the Finals...

Yes..these 2 are my favourite musicians...

This just isnt right...Quadrophenia against My Aim is True...

Who's Next...against King of America...

Behing blue eyes...against Man Outta Time..

I just cant bring myself to vote...yep, that's what I am going to do..I am not going to vote because, I frankly, just can not pick...if it was the finals..and I was forced..OK..but, whoever the posters pick..I'll be happy with...and will carry their flag all the way to the Finals..

Go get 'em...people.

Well Wang - that is the same way I felt about Stevie vs Bob Marley.

I voted for Stevie - he won by one.

All I am saying is better I pick my choice than let it come down to somebody I don't now picking between two of my favorites.

By the way I went with EC.

WHAT??? Marely is out?? Damn, it!!! I didnt know...

Sweet irony, Schwa...you're last and fina vote decided it...

If these two are somehow tied..and my vote will be the deciding factor, as your was, I will vote..

But..looks like the Who is gonna take this..

Now..I am really upset...out of my 3 favouirets..Marley/Costello/Who...2 are gonna be gone :(

Well..then, I hope the last one wins..or Zeppelin..that'd be OK, too.

OK, kid...I'm gonna help you..cause I like you.

Elvis C. is the original Angry, young man..the living embodiment of male angst..he is eseentially you..

And..and chicks that dig Elvis..are guaranteed to be the coolest girls..trust me..the kind of girl that likes Costello..is the kind of girl you wanna be spending time with..

Check out his first few albums..or an anthology (Girls!Girls!Girls)..that will get you started..

You're welcome

Never could stand Mick Jagger thus I have always hated the Stones.

They ARE overrated. As artists...they can't touch the Beatles but I'm sure they got a lot more trim.

To me The Who is one, if not "the" best, bands of all time.. All you Zep heads sit down and listen now.. Pete Townsend... Make all the cracks you want about him, but hands down one of the best composers ever.. Roger Daltry, one of the best powerful voices of rock n roll.. John Entwhistle.. In a world of his own.. Keith Moon, the man on the slopy drums.. Definitely in a world of his own.. I think what made The Who great was that they all were individuals, but when they played together that individuality came together as one helluva band.. Just my take.. Favorite album - Quadrophenia.. Just my take.. Peace..

I prefered to spend small time with chicks who dug heavy music. They were generally the "easiest" to get along with.

Avoided girls into The Cure and New Order. Too melodramatic.

I went with the Who.

"My life's in jeopardy --
Murdered in cold blood
is what I'm gonna be.
I ain't been home since Friday night
and now my wife is comin' after me.

All I did was have a bit too much to drink..."

Great song!
