Bands Vs Thread

Opeth

I guess I'll go with Nightwish.

Porcupine Tree

I woulda said Camel in another really close prog rock battle.

The battle for the best non-Seattle grunge:

Bush vs. Tonic

Yah, that's why I chose it. Both are great bands. Personally I'm leaning ELP overall, but I think Yes has some stronger efforts.

Screaming Trees as I haven't heard enough Mother Love Bone and Oblivion is a sweet album.

Bush vs. Tonic

Bush in a heartbeat. Bah, let's go with some Seattle again.

Malfunkshun VS Blood Circus.

Malfunkshun VS Blood Circus.

Competition for Kai Hansen's better band as we will automatically acknowledge that Iron Savior does not compete...

Helloween vs. Gamma Ray

Tough one Nellinator. I never thought either were amazing like some people I know did, but it's a hard choice. Stalemate.

Might as well do two of Arjen's while we're at it.

Ayreon vs Star One

Personally, I think Helloween's early stuff is superior, but Gamma Ray is superior to all but the first three Helloween albums.

Ayreon, though I'm not a huge fan of either.

Kreator vs. Slayer

Not a fan of either but I'll say Slayer between the two.

King Crimson vs. Pink Floyd

I appreciate King Crimson, but never could get into them and I prefer Fripp's solo stuff. So Pink Floyd for me.

Grateful Dead vs. Phish

Grateful Dead

Arcade Fire vs. Queens of the Stone Age (just picked 2 good modern bands for this one! 😉 )

Queens of the Stone Age

Kyuss vs. Monster Magnet

Kyuss I suppose.

Al Di Meola vs. Carlos Santana

Hmm... Abraxas is such a good album, but overall Al Di Meola wins, plus Di Meola is the more skilled guitarist.

Nickelback vs. Creed haha

I hate both, but I think Nickelback is the lesser of two evils.

Sleepytime Gorilla Museum vs. Anglagard

Anglagard

From first to Last vs Chiodos

Chiodos.

Rage Against The Machine vs Tool.

Tools wins.
But Both are awesome
