The last place pretty much shared the hate between two bands who evoked maximum insensitivity, Spandau Ballet and Nickelback. I have no pride in finding the former particularly crap with the exception of “Chant No 1” (good because it was probably driven by the funkateers behind the scenes, not ‘the ‘Ballet, Tony Hadley having all the musical wit and grace of David “Flashman” Cameron, and the band desperate wannabes).
But. But. Are there worse bands to compare and contrast?
Don’t hold back. See this as psychotherapy.
Alien Ant Farm versus Papa Roach ?
Black Lace versus Limp Bizkit?
Rubettes versus Twisted Sister?
I challenge these bands to the only true test, a “Trous-Off”:
Nickelback affect the cropped-belo- the-knee not-short shorts; Spandau the balloony trousers made of WW1 parachute material. Which is worse? You decide.
Alien Ant Farm? Alien Pant Farm.
Spandau have their faults, but surely not as many as Nickelback. When they started out they were not as blatantly just ripping off a particular style but were trying something a bit more original. Admittedly, in the case of Paint me Down that was an original way of being shouty and tuneless but I think it’s an unfair match up. And who else wore funny kilts (who wasn’t Scottish?.
Plus, quite like at least 5 of their tunes.
Insane Clown Posse vs Crazy Town
Shakin Stevens vs The Dead Kennedys?
or Wobbling Wilf as he will always be known in my (strange) little world
Dave Clark 5 versus Racey
Insane Clown Posse and Nicky Chinn are great. Crazy Town can piss right off though.
