@achewood I once had the idea that, if only for a moment each night, everyone in the world was asleep at the same time. It made the world manageable.

I think I'd have to go Bowie but that one is tough.

Zep over Stones, Kinks over the Who, Replacements over Husker Du (although I did make my gf listen to a few Husker Du songs the other day because I was trying to explain that there are different kinds of punk)

That's what makes this game so interesting. It's all about the tough choices.

Bowie is awesome, but there are great swaths of his material that I just don't connect with. The price you pay for being so experimental, not all of it works for everybody.

I dunno, man, to me that one is not a tough choice. Sure, I don't love all of Bowie, but some of it is basically essential to civilization. Whereas if I never heard another note of Neil Young for the rest of eternity that would be just dandy.

That's a bit surprising to me given your love of Springsteen. Don't they both play that heartland/everyman shtick for all it's worth?

Well, now that you mention it, his highs are extraordinarily high.

I can't think of a single thing that seems similar to me about Springsteen and Neil Young.

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

Oh, what the hell, I'll drop in.

Neil over Bowie for me, marginally, and maybe only because I'm Canadian.

Kinks over whatever the other one was.

Now mine: Love or Zombies?

I'll say Zombies, but it's close.

You can't see that their point of view politically is very similar? Born in the USA is a protest song disguised as a pro America anthem. Rockin' in the Free World is exactly the same thing.

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