Re: This or That :Non-Eagles music
Hardly any of these questions have been suitable for me & when they have been I've missed them. I don't listen to heavy metal but my husband does so just for him I will say Iron Maiden (at least I have heard a few of their songs, unlike Judas Priest).
Predictable as this may be:
Genesis: Peter Gabriel era or Phil Collins era?
Re: This or That :Non-Eagles music
I have to say for me it's the Peter Gabriel era - my favourite Genesis album is Selling England By The Pound. I guess I just dig 70s prog rock more than their 1980s music, although I'm not a Collins basher.
----------------------------------
Led Zeppelin albums: Presence or In Through The Out Door
(I prefer Presence myself - it has some very strong songs like Achilles' Last Stand and Nobody's Fault But Mine. ITTOD is still pretty good, but somehow just doesn't sound right as a Led Zeppelin record to me)
Re: This or That :Non-Eagles music
Presence wasn't well received at the time. The tracks I tend to like are the lesser known ones like Tea For One. I prefer In Through The Out Door if only because it contains the magnificent Fool In The Rain (which is lyrically a close cousin to Genesis' Misunderstanding) and All My Love. I also love I'm Gonna Crawl.
Elton John albums: Don't Shoot Me I'm Only The Piano Player or Goodbye Yellow Brick Road?
Re: This or That :Non-Eagles music
For me it's definitely Goodbye Yellow brick Road because I feel so sentimental about the time spent with my then-best-friend, listening to the album, over and over, learning the lyrics, just hanging out, just being ourselves and having so much fun. That album is a special symbol of my youth. :smile:
So now: Fleetwood Mac Songs-Dreams or Don't Stop?
Re: This or That :Non-Eagles music
Don't Stop. It's one of the songs that helped me get through my miserable teen years.

British Invasion: The Animals or The Hollies?
Re: This or That :Non-Eagles music
:hmm: Tough one because neither of these bands were among my favorites. But since I do love the risqué House of the Rising Sun, I'll go with The Animals.
=====================================
80's Hair Bands: Def Leppard or Duran Duran?
Re: This or That :Non-Eagles music
Def Leppard (And back then I wouldn't let my kids listen to them! Now I love them! Is that hypocrisy? :lol:)
Bon Jovi with Richie or without?
Re: This or That :Non-Eagles music
Wow, Brooke! I can only say is Bon Jovi really Bon Jovi without Richie Sambora? My answer would be "with," because he was such an integral part of the band for so long.
'60s icons: Jimi Hendrix or Janis Joplin?
Re: This or That :Non-Eagles music
Jimi Hendrix. I like a couple of Janis Joplin songs, but I like Hendrix alot more.
-----------
Better musician: Stephen Stills or Neil Young? (I prefer Stephen)
Re: This or That :Non-Eagles music
It has to be Neil Young for me.
-------------------------
Guitarists: David Gilmour (Pink Floyd) or Mark Knopfler (Dire Straits)
(These are my two favourite guitar players)
