This or That :Non-Eagles music

[AlreadyGone95]

Respect

Duos: Simon and Garfunkel or Hall and Oates?

[Jonny Come Lately]

Simon & Garfunkel are the better duo for me, just think they're the more talented songwriters although in fairness I am more familiar with their work than I am with Hall & Oates.

(FP, I am glad that you answered the CSN question as I think I feel much the same way as you do about them. I admire their talent, but their music just doesn't seem to move me, and I cannot put my finger on why this is the case. I'd have also gone for Deja Vu for pretty much the same reason. Funny thing is that I love many of the Neil Young songs where Crosby, Stills and Nash appear)

----------------------------

Early Pink Floyd singles: Arnold Layne or See Emily Play?

[AlreadyGone95]

See Emily Play. It's the song that defines early Floyd.

(I really don't have a preference for CSN vs. CSNY. I love most of the songs that they've made. I do prefer the self titled over Deja Vu, but I think the reason why is because I think that Stephen Stills', my favorite of the 4, talent shines more on it. He's nicknamed "Captain Manyhands" for a reason)

------------

EltonJohn albums: Madman Across the Water or Honky Château?

[Freypower]

Honky Château is brilliant.

Mid period Beatles: Ticket To Ride or Drive My Car?

[Freypower]

OK. I keep forgetting that I carry the torch for the Beatles here pretty much alone. My preference is for Ticket To Ride.

------------------------------

Billy Joel anthems: Goodnight Saigon or Allentown?

[AlreadyGone95]

Allentown

(I do like Ticket to Ride, but I haven't heard Drive My Car)


---------

Famous live albums: The Allman Brothers Band's Live At Fillmore East or Peter Frampton's Frampton Comes Alive?

[Freypower]

OK, I will answer. Allman Bros. You couldn't escape FCA in 1977. I didn't get it. I hated it.

-------------------------------

Linda Ronstadt or Joni Mitchell?

[Jonny Come Lately]

If based purely on the music, then Joni Mitchell as she's a great songwriter.

However, were it not for Linda we might not be here. If no Linda means no Eagles, she gets my vote!

----------------------------------------

Grunge bands: Nirvana or Pearl Jam?

[AlreadyGone95]

Pearl Jam. Jeremy and Daughter were 2 songs that helped me get through the darkest times of my teen years.

----------

Better frontman/ singer: Roger Daltrey Or Robert Plant?

[Jonny Come Lately]

It's got to be Robert Plant for me - I was listening to a whole lotta Led Zeppelin last night and he's got one of my favourite voices of all time.

R.E.M. songs - Losing My Religion or Man On The Moon?
