Okay, one poster posts two artists, preferably similar (like 2Pac and Notorious B.I.G.) and the next posters states which they believe is better and why. Doesn't need to be too complex just a reason.

Pink Floyd versus The Rolling Stones.

Also, for anybody interested in answering a previous match up feel free, I always like to hear reasons as to why someone prefers one artist over another. The user who posts the original question can also answer.

My vote is for Pink Floyd. They seem to be the most diverse of the two and the Rolling Stones have too many shitty albums in their later years than Floyd does. Animals might be my favorite rock album of all-time and that helps Floyd's case, as well.

The Wall and Final Cut are so horrifingly bad that I'd rather eat a bowl of shit than listening to either one of thoose ever again but on the other hand everything Stones made after 73 is really weak so my vote is for floyd¨

e: OP gets +3 internetz for recognising Animals as the top album

Well, I've never been able to listen through a full Stones album without wanting to slam my head against the nearest wall.
They were skilled musicians, certainly, but most of their stuff gets under my skin for reasons too many to list.

Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun
Dogs
Shine On You Crazy Diamond
Echoes
Welcome To The Machine

... are all among my top 20 favourite songs of all time, which makes this a rather easy win for PF.
I mean just frickin' listen --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RbXIMZmVv8

Final Cut is pure shit and The Wall is their most overrated album bar-none. I like the "hits" off of The Wall such as Mother, Hey You, Another Brick in the Wall 1-3, etc. but it has filler all over the place.

Agree with your '73 comment. I can't help but think the Stones would be far more popular if they stopped making music in a manner like the Beatles did.

Really? Beggars Banquet, Let it Bleed, Sticky Fingers, etc. are all pretty solid in my opinion.

I can't speak for most of their albums though lol.

2pac and b.i.g. are not even comparable



"let me compare a rapper that grew up rich and acted ghetto cuz he loved 2pac, to 2pac"

rapper< rapper, poet, musician, actor, playwriter, revolutionist, activist, martyr, prodigy and on and on.

Pink Floyd by a mile (or ten)

Floyd comes off so much more unique. Not that the stones are bad they just aren't as consistant as I would like.


New match up: Botch vs. Converge

Biggie so much better. The sounds is more musical. His rhymes are better and he wasn't a drama queen or hypocritical as shit

Wouldn't compare Stones and Floyd. A better matchup would be Floyd and another prog group...Supertramp Moody Blues Alan Parsons Can etc
