Round 1

 

1 Arctic Monkeys vs. Elbow

Elbow could show them Monkeys a thing or two about subtlety

 

2 The Beatles vs. Dashboard Confessional

Not going to argue with possibly the world's greatest band ever!

 

3 Sigur Rós vs. REM

Sheer musicality vs slightly less tuneful music... Pity they had to meet this early

 

4 Arcade Fire vs. Explosions In The Sky

Explosions who?

 

5 Death Cab For Cutie vs. We Are Scientists

Sorry dunno you Scientists...

 

6 Radiohead vs. The Clash

One word - Genius. All of 5 of them.

 

7 Blur vs. The Killers

The Killers could learn a thing or two about varying their styles

 

8 U2 vs. The Libertines

Over 2 decades of fine music :)

 

9 The strokes vs. Maximo Park

:\

 

10 British Sea Power vs. Bright Eyes

For the band that brought us their 'Decline...', tongue in cheek :laugh3:

 

11 Oasis vs. The Smiths

Oasis win for their far more engaging sound. Sorry Johnny Marr, great guitar work, but where's the fun if you can't hear it?

 

12 Muse vs. Stereophonics

For bringing back grand, overblown (although sometimes over-repeated) rock n roll back!

 

13 Keane vs. Ben Folds

Tough one. For once I'm going with Ben Folds coz I really don't think Keane's sound works, although they do have some brilliant bits piano-wise...

 

14 Red Hot Chili Peppers vs. Interpol

Scar tissue and their southern drawl...

 

15 Mew vs. Nick Drake

Nick Drake, coz I don't know Mew :(

 

16 Bloc Party vs. Snow Patrol

Sometimes overly dramatic but at least they have more than one trick up their sleeve - no matter how good a trick is, it gets old, Bloc Party :rolleyes:

15 Mew vs. Nick Drake

Although both got heartwrenching songs. Such a tough question. Uh... went for nick in the end, only because of Pink Moon
