Yardbirds, I think.  I know the Yardbirds better and they rock pretty hard.  Itchycoo Park is a pretty damn cool song though.

True, Itchycoo Park is pretty cool, as is Lazy Sunday. However, before they turned to psychedelic pop they were a muscular rock band capable of keeping up with The Who.

Now, David Bowie and Queen, that would be a hard question, but I'd have to go with Queen.

Of course. Queen Trumps almost everyone.

As a person who loves Neil Yound and also Bruce Springsteen....it seems like only their bad stuff is similar?  Neil Yound basically invented whole albums based on depression and grunge music and anti guitar.  He had some albums in the 80s that compared to Springsteen’s lesser stuff, but he also had weird way ahead of its time (and still bad!) computer music.  I think comparing them is sorta silly?

I’ll take Wilco, The Who, The Rolling Stones, Public Image Ltd over either of the post clash bands (and the clash over Sex Pistols) and the replacements.  I like this game. 

Stooges or VU is best I have right now

I realized a slight comparison between Edgar Winter Group and Alice Cooper. My Facebook friend didn't agree with my assessment. How far off base am I?
