[The Mothman]

Nine Inch Nails

This is a really hard fucking choice. But since I am a lyrics person, I'm going to choose Nine Inch Nails. "Everything Where It Belongs" and "Hurt" are two awesome songs, with the most awesome lyrics........*sigh*.........wish I could come up with something that good!!!

[Posher778]

And NIN takes it barely with 9 over 8!

[Posher778]

[illdojo]

The Foo's, EASILY!!!!
I wish Courtney Love would hurry up and O.D. ;)

[Disease]

Hole, I'm sick of the Foo Fighters, fucking overkill at sports events and from next door neighbours...

At least Hole were filthy.

[Posher778]

1-1



GO FOO FIGHTERS!


For the record, I love both of these bands. They both have talent, but Foo Fighters trumps about 90% of modern rock bands... Every single album is memorable. Hole had a moment of awesome, but they lost it.

[illdojo]

They both have talent

Nope...Kurt wrote most of Hole's music because Courtney is a no talent twat!!!

[Dante'sInferno]

The Foo's, EASILY!!!!
I wish Courtney Love would hurry up and O.D. ;)


.........Word ^

[Posher778]

Nope...Kurt wrote most of Hole's music because Courtney is a no talent twat!!!

Not to mention a murderer of said Kurt. Fuck her, but she can still perform, and she has a great rock voice.

2-1 Foo Fighters!

Foo Fighters

[hacelikewhoa]

ew neither

[Despare]

Foo Fighters

Still producing rock & roll, very few bands do that well anymore.

[UngodlyWarlock]

Ew fuck Hole.
That is one band that should just stay in the damn 90s entirely.

Foo Fighters, however, have produced quality music since their inception. It's also my opinion they make significantly better music than Nirvana ever did. But then again, I hated Nirvana too, so I'm biased.

So yeah...Foo for me.

[missmacabre]

foo fighters.

[Posher778]

FOO FIGHTERS WINS! By a landslide.

[Elvis_Christ]

At least Hole's first two albums are killer. The Foo Fighters have been average right from the get go.

[Posher778]

Sorry for the delay folks. I've been swamped here for the past few days.

I don't hate Silverchair, but I do think he looks like a total tool in that pic. Who shows up for a photo shoot looking like they just got their ass kicked?

[UngodlyWarlock]

I hope Weezer gets crushed when they are put up against a legitimate band.
Seriously, Silverchair has had a song other than that "TOmorrooooooooooooow" song?

Pearl Jam

Why? Because your choice only put out 1.5 good albums?

Nah.....I never respected the "tortured artist" thing. The dudes at the height of his career and blows his fucking head off. bloody wanker

[CrimsonFiend138]

Fuck that, I love Nirvana but Pearl Jam is waaaay fucking better. Better singer better guitarists better songs!!

[bwind22]

Nah.....I never respected the "tortured artist" thing. The dudes at the height of his career and blows his fucking head off. bloody wanker


That's one theory.

Another is that Courtney Love paid to have him killed. I'm not entirely sure which I believe. There's plenty of evidence to support either.



I'm guessing you're not an Elliot Smith fan either? Dude stabbed himself in the heart with a butcher knife to commit suicide. A bit overdramatic if you ask me.

[Posher778]

4-2 Nirvana!

STP........................

[fortunato]

Radiohead, absolutely.

[UngodlyWarlock]

I would have voted Radiohead had they stuck with their style up to and including OK Computer...but I can't get behind their trippy, LSD rock. It's like non-music to me.

STP rocked once upon a time, though....they get my vote.

I love classic rock, but I definitely start to lose interest in 90's music (at least 90's rock, 90's metal was amazing).

Either way, just happy to see a little more metal. :D
Thanks :D
